Best for UK fitness classes on a low monthly fee
Gymcatch is £10 plus VAT a month for bookings, waitlists, passes and client apps, with a month free and no card. That's low for the category, but memberships, discount codes and courses are £2 bolt-ons each, and its own payments run in the UK only.
Who Gymcatch is for
- Fits if you teach classes in the UK and want a low flat fee
- Works for instructors who want a client app included
Who Gymcatch is not for
- Watch out: prices are in pounds and exclude VAT
- Watch out: memberships, discount codes, courses and waivers are £2 each a month
- Not for you if you're outside the UK and want its own payments, as other countries are coming soon
- Watch out: payment processing fees aren't in the monthly price
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there isn't one

Keep Gymcatch, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Gymcatch you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 75 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade. It costs $160.79 a year.
What you could make
- Class booking, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Gymcatch’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.
