fitDEGREE vs Gymcatch

fitDEGREE is management software for boutique fitness businesses, especially studios built around scheduled classes. Its admin portal manages classes, one-on-ones, events, and series, while a single system handles autopay, drop-in, and retail payments. Instructor management tracks attendance and supports flat-rate, bonus, and revenue-percentage pay. The operations overview includes more than 30 report types and a business health dashboard. Clients can use the fitDEGREE app or web app to create accounts, buy services, register for classes, and manage their information. The OnTheGo staff app supports check-ins, purchases, reservations, and basic client edits, but does not include every admin-portal function. The kiosk app allows class self-check-in but cannot take payments. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web. Pricing starts at $200/mo (annual), with a 45-day trial; card processing is 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction, and ACH payments are $1 per transaction.

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.
