One low monthly fee covers unlimited bookings, customers and team members, and optional bolt-ons are priced per month.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | £10 plus VAT a month for unlimited bookings and customers, well under the $25 where the category's cheaper quarter starts. Even with a few £2 bolt-ons it stays low. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 1 month free with no card, and no free plan after it. |
| Features | C | Scheduling, waitlists, passes, virtual sessions and payments. But memberships, codes, courses and waivers are paid bolt-ons. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and class and payment setup take work. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus iOS and Android client apps, with Stripe and GoCardless links. No computer app. |
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 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.
