easybook.studio vs Gymcatch

easybook.studio is a web-based booking and payment service for studios and independent instructors. It supports recurring classes and workshops, attendance lists, cancellation policies and unlimited bookings. When a participant cancels, the next person on the waitlist is booked automatically. Customers can manage renewing class passes and memberships, and bookings can come through an embeddable website widget or the studio’s own booking page. The booking experience is available in German and English. Listed online payment options include card, SEPA, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay; payments go directly to the studio’s Stripe or PayPal account, and the maker says it does not charge booking commission. The free plan costs nothing and is limited to 25 customers and one team member, with cash payments only. Pricing notes list paid plans from €5/mo and a 30-day trial. Paid plans include a self-service tool to migrate customers, products, bookings and events from Eversports. The privacy policy describes encrypted data transfers and storage, access restrictions and hosting on EU servers.

Gymcatch is a booking and customer management platform for independent fitness and wellness businesses. It lets businesses schedule classes, appointments, and events, including livestream and on-demand sessions, then sell access through pay-as-you-go payments, passes, bundles, courses, or memberships. Booking tools include multi-place bookings, automated wait lists, priority access, and cancellation policies. A customer management portal, customer and admin email and push notifications, online booking, automated billing, digital waivers, and a member mobile app support daily operations. Gymcatch documents integrations with Zoom, Stripe, GymcatchPay, and GoCardless; Zoom can create meeting links for sessions and share details with attendees. It is available on Android, iOS, and web. Gymcatch costs £10 a month for unlimited bookings, customers, and team members; optional bolt-ons cost £2 a month each. There is no free plan, but a free trial is available. GymcatchPay and GoCardless are limited to UK customers, and GoCardless is temporarily disabled in the Android app. The maker says payment providers process payments, so Gymcatch does not hold payment data.
