The report card
Best for US and Canadian studios that want one price
fitDEGREE has one plan at $200 a month on yearly billing with every feature and no per-member fees. A $500 setup fee comes first, each extra location is $150 more, and card payments cost 2.9% plus $0.30.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $200 a month on yearly billing, $250 monthly, plus a $500 setup fee. That's past the category's $149 dearest-tenth line. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A 45-day trial, but it's covered by the $500 setup fee, so it isn't free. |
| Features | B | Scheduling, memberships, spot booking, reports, a client app and website widgets. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and a studio system with data migration takes setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus iOS and Android. No integrations are named on the listing. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace fitDEGREE you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $2,400 a year.
What you could make
- Class booking, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. fitDEGREE’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
