Best for martial arts schools and gyms on a flat fee
RhinoFit charges a flat $57 a month with unlimited members, plus belt tracking, waivers and an optional door access plan. The $0 Start Up plan is capped at 20 users and leaves out automated payments, and door access is US only and needs $1,300 of hardware.
Who RhinoFit is for
- Fits if you run a martial arts school and want rank and belt tracking
- Works for gyms with many members that want no per-member fees
Who RhinoFit is not for
- Tight if you stay on Start Up: 20 users, $2,500 in payments, no automated payments
- Watch out: door access is US only, needs underwriting and $1,300 hardware per door
- Watch out: a website is $25 a month plus $300 setup, and an EMV terminal $25 plus $50, both US only
- Watch out: a branded app is an add-on with no price shown
- Skip it if you want a free plan with messaging, as that starts on Standard

Keep RhinoFit, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace RhinoFit you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. 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 2.4 is higher than 58 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade. It costs $684 a year.
What you could make
- Class booking, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. RhinoFit’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.
