Gymdesk Alternatives

Seven alternatives, side by side

Prices checked on 28 September 2026 on each company's own pricing page; they change, so confirm before you buy. Figures are monthly billing unless stated otherwise.

What Gymdesk publishes, and where it stops

Gymdesk's four named plans are genuinely published: Micro Gym $75/month up to 50 active members, Small Gym $100 for 51 to 100, Medium Gym $150 for 101 to 200, and Large Gym $200 for 201 to 400. Every plan carries the same feature set, so the price only moves with member count, and there is no setup or cancellation fee. Past 400 members, Enterprise is a contact sales quote with no figure on the page.

Three things sit outside that headline price. Door access is a $100/month add-on for up to three doors, then $29/month per extra door, with hardware quoted separately. A branded member app is $100/month, with the first month free. Payment processing carries no published rate at all, unlike Wodify or PushPress below. Our gym software cost calculator lines up what all eight in this category publish at your own member count.

Mindbody

Mindbody's reach is the real draw: it is the biggest name in the category, and its own consumer app can bring in bookings a smaller platform never would. That comes with a trade-off Gymdesk does not have, a 20 percent commission on those app bookings, capped at $30, plus two of its three tiers carrying no published price. A gym choosing Mindbody over Gymdesk is usually choosing brand reach over a plain published number. See Mindbody alternatives for more.

Glofox

Glofox publishes even less than Gymdesk's Enterprise tier: nothing, at any size, on any of its three named plans. The page asks for business type, number of locations and contact details before naming a figure. Against Gymdesk's plain ladder, Glofox only makes sense for a gym that would rather have a sales conversation shaped around its own size than compare a published table itself. More at Glofox alternatives.

Zen Planner

Zen Planner publishes a longer ladder than Gymdesk does, eight member bands against Gymdesk's four, though the full grid sits on a separate active member tiers page rather than the main pricing page. Belt and skill progression tracking is built in, a genuine strength for combat sports gyms that Gymdesk does not compete on. A branded app is cheaper here too, $39/month against Gymdesk's $100. See Zen Planner alternatives for more.

TeamUp

TeamUp is the clearest case for leaving Gymdesk on features rather than price. Point of sale and access control sit on TeamUp's single plan, where Gymdesk sells door access separately at $100/month for up to three doors. TeamUp prices one plan on a slider with six active-customer brackets, $119 to $379 a month, so unlike Gymdesk it still names a figure past 400. More at TeamUp alternatives.

Wodify

Wodify's $99/month Essentials offer runs against a "book a demo by 31 October" deadline and a regular $199 price, so confirm which figure is live before comparing it to Gymdesk's $75 Micro Gym tier. It is priced per location rather than per member, publishes a card rate of 2.6 percent plus 25 cents, and is built around WOD-based class programming for CrossFit and functional fitness boxes rather than general studios. See Wodify alternatives for more.

PushPress

PushPress is the only vendor here with a genuinely free tier, $0/month with no member cap, something Gymdesk's cheapest Micro Gym plan at $75 does not offer. That free tier carries the highest card processing rate of the three PushPress tiers, 4.99 percent plus $0.30. Pro and Max publish lower rates as the plan price rises, a trade Gymdesk's buyers do not get to make since it names no rate at any tier.

Scraler

Scraler is not a gym management system. It has no door access, no point of sale and no class-pack billing, so it cannot replace Gymdesk at a facility where members badge in. It does run classes and events with a booking capacity, Stripe payments from Premium, and on Ultimate a white-label app plus studio, staff and multi-location management. That fits a coaching-led studio running programming and client relationships, not a facility managing who walks through its door. For that job, see the gym management software guide instead.

Where Gymdesk beats Scraler

A gym with doors to badge through and a counter to staff is better served by Gymdesk, or by TeamUp if access control and POS need to sit on the plan itself rather than an add-on. A coaching business selling programming, nutrition and one-to-one relationships, with no facility to manage, fits Scraler instead.
