The subscription math.

Yours Gymora $69 once · self-hosted · your data on your server Buy once
Rented GymMaster Foundation USD $89/month per site up to 100 members (Advanced $129/mo to 400; Professional $209/mo to 1,300), ex. tax [1]

1 month of GymMaster costs what Gymora costs once.

What GymMaster does that we don't. GymMaster does not lock customers into a fixed-term contract.
The fine print

How their pricing grows. GymMaster meters its per-site plans by 'current members' - a count that includes paid, billing, and future-start members - so growing your membership is what pushes you into a pricier tier.

“Current members are those with paid in full or regular billing membership, including $0 memberships, members signed up for a future start date and any members who are exempt from internal reporting.” Read 2026-08-11.

Who should stay with GymMaster. If you need a public booking site or a payment service run for you, stay where you are — Gymora has neither. Members book classes from their own private member page; card payments run only through your own Stripe account (since Own It 4.1) and texts only through your own SMS gateway (since 3.2), both off until you switch them on; it emails members before their membership ends, through your own SMTP.

How we counted. Foundation caps at 100 current members; yearly billing gives 10% off. The page prints USD, AUD and NZD side by side ($89 / A$119 / NZ$129 on Foundation), so the currency is chosen on the page rather than served by location.

Rented Zen Planner Studio "Starting at $99/month"; extensions on top: Website $99/month, Engage $249/month, Branded App $39/month; "*Additional charges and/or fees may apply." [2]

1 month of Zen Planner costs what Gymora costs once.

What Zen Planner does that we don't. Zen Planner sells the full studio stack — membership, scheduling, marketing automation, a branded member app and integrated payments — from one vendor.
The fine print

How their pricing grows. Zen Planner meters by MODULE: the core is $99/month "starting at", and website, marketing automation and the branded app are each another monthly line.

“*Additional charges and/or fees may apply.” Read 2026-08-30.

Who should stay with Zen Planner. Stay with Zen Planner if you want integrated payments, a branded member app and marketing automation from one hosted vendor. Gymora is the front desk — members, check-ins, class packs — on your own server, with no payments and no app store presence.

How we counted. NOT re-read on 2026-09-03: the page came back truncated mid-content, so nothing could be verified and the date stands. The core Studio product at its published starting price; the marketing site, automation and branded-app extensions are separate monthly lines on top, and the page itself footnotes further charges. Gymora is one payment with no extensions to buy.

Rented PushPress Free plan "$0" with "No monthly fees" (card processing 4.99% + .30 on cards, 2.89% + .30 on ACH); Pro $159/month; Max $229/month; "Price in USD" [3]

1 month of PushPress costs what Gymora costs once.

What PushPress does that we don't. PushPress includes unlimited users, admins, members and staff on every tier, including the free one.
The fine print

How their pricing grows. PushPress meters by PROCESSING on the free plan (4.99% + $0.30 per card payment) and by MONTH on Pro and Max, where the processing rate falls.

“4.99% + .30 CC” Read 2026-08-30.

Who should stay with PushPress. Stay with PushPress if you want integrated payments and a free tier to start on — for a gym taking card payments through the platform, its free plan is a fair deal. Gymora is for a gym that already bills members another way and wants its member records, check-ins and class packs on its own server.

How we counted. PushPress has a genuine free plan and it is the honest starting point for a small gym: no monthly fee, paid for through a 4.99% + $0.30 processing rate on every card payment. The figure cited is the paid Pro tier, where the processing rate drops. Gymora charges no processing rate because it processes no payments; it is one payment for the software.

Rented Wodify "starting at $199 $99/month per location": a $199/month per location standing price struck through for a promotional $99 ("Book a demo by September 30 to save $100 every month", "$100/month off for life"). The Essentials, Accelerate and Ultimate cards carry no price of their own [4]

1 month of Wodify costs what Gymora costs once.

What Wodify does that we don't. Wodify ships white-glove onboarding and training with every plan and is built around class-based gyms and their workout tracking.
The fine print

How their pricing grows. Wodify meters by LOCATION per month, and its published price on the read date was a limited-time discount off a $199 standing rate.

“$199 $99/month per location” Read 2026-08-30.

Who should stay with Wodify. Stay with Wodify if you run a class-based gym that wants workout tracking, member app and vendor-run onboarding. Gymora is the membership desk on your own server and does not track workouts.

How we counted. The standing per-location floor, read with a time-boxed promotion crossing it out; a promo price is not the price, so the standing figure is cited. The deadline moves: on 2026-09-03 the offer still read 'Book a demo by August 31', three days after that deadline, and on 2026-09-26 it reads 'by September 30'. On 2026-09-26 no plan card carries a figure, so the $199 is the page's 'starting at' floor rather than a named plan's price. Gymora is one payment for the location.

Work out your own numbers.

The rented figures use the cited plan price above; per-seat plans scale by the seat count from that same cited price. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Also in this category.

Glofox [5] No public price - quote-gated (verified) Pricing page fetched live - no plan names or numbers published; quote-form only. On the 2026-09-03 read the page carries no sentence describing how the price is set - only the form labels Business Type, Locations, Details and Pricing - so this row deliberately carries no mechanism quote rather than a stale one. Re-read 2026-09-07, unchanged: the page is still the four-step quote form and the only number on it is a count of reviews.
How their pricing grows. Glofox does not publish prices; the site instead collects your business type and number of locations through a form to generate a custom quote.
If you run a multi-location gym chain, stay where you are — Gymora is one location per install.
Mindbody [6] No public price for any tier - Starter, Accelerate and Ultimate all answer 'LET'S TALK'. A 'Starting at EUR 99/month per location' headline was present 2026-09-03, gone 2026-09-05, back 2026-09-07 and gone again 2026-09-26; it was never attached to a plan you can buy A moving target, recorded as one: the EUR 99 headline was present 2026-07-05 and 2026-09-03, absent 2026-09-05, present 2026-09-07 and absent 2026-09-26 (rendered page and served HTML, read from a European address with a European and a US browser time zone). The currency follows the visitor, so any headline is geo-dependent and never converted. What has not moved is the shape: no tier has ever carried a price, and the meter is the location.
How their pricing grows. Mindbody's price scales with the number of locations you run, not with how many staff logins you add at each location.
“Your subscription price increases based on adding new locations and not adding new people to existing locations.”
What Mindbody does that we don't. Mindbody lists your business in its own consumer app, and runs marketing campaigns and payments from the same account.
If you need multi-location management with public online booking and integrated payment processing, stay where you are - Gymora does not do that.
Mariana Tek [7] No public price — three packages (Core, Core + Growth, Full Growth Bundle), "Book a demo"; a "first three months free" promotion was running on the read date Three packages, no figure on any, and a switching promotion that names a period but not a price. Gymora publishes its price.
How their pricing grows. Mariana Tek is quoted per studio after a demo; the package names suggest a per-location ladder.
“Book a demo”
What Mariana Tek does that we don't. Mariana Tek is built for boutique fitness brands: branded apps, class packs at scale, marketing to members across locations.
Stay with Mariana Tek if you run a multi-location boutique brand and want a branded member app and marketing from one vendor. Gymora is the front desk for one gym, on your own server.

Why owning beats renting here.

One payment

No per-month, per-seat or per-location fees: the license does not expire.

Your data

Your data sits on a server you choose; customer records are not held in a vendor's cloud unless you put them there.

No plan ceilings

Records, users and usage are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

If the vendor stops

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't: no one can switch your copy off, and keeping it up to date is in your hands.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, you back it up, and updates are yours to apply. The product page lists what Gymora deliberately doesn't do.
