Gym141 vs Revel

Gym141 is self-hosted software for managing a gym or club’s members, fees, accounting, schedule and public website. Its member tools include search, filters and exports, plus fee plans with billing periods, reminders, pauses and history. The cash book organizes payment methods, categories and fixed costs, produces reports with forecasts, and automatically records fee payments. A public site can show training groups, a clickable weekly schedule and editorial pages maintained in the backend. Members can sign in to check personal details and fee status, RSVP to events and view progress charts.

Gym141 is open source under the MIT license. The free plan costs €0 forever and supports up to 25 active members; Pro costs €14.90 per month for unlimited members. Ultra is €29.90 per month and adds multi-location support and priority support. A browser installer handles setup, and installation requires a web host with PHP 8.1 or newer and SQLite. The maker says no Composer or build step is needed.

Revel is an open-source event management platform for communities, clubs, and independent venues. Organizers can offer free or paid tickets, create ticket tiers, reserve seats, and scan QR codes at entry. Custom questionnaires can screen attendees before an event address is revealed. Community functions include potluck coordination, memberships, class passes, and members-only events. Venue tools include a seat-map designer, zone pricing, and QR door scanning. Event listings, individual events, and event series can be embedded on external websites using a script, iframe, or oEmbed. Listed integrations include Stripe payments, Google OAuth, optional OpenAI questionnaire evaluation, Telegram notifications, and Apple Wallet downloads. Self-hosting is MIT-licensed, with Docker deployment and a REST API documented through OpenAPI. Self-hosting costs nothing; hosted processing charges 3% + €0.50 only when Revel processes a payment, while free events cost €0. User data is stored in Germany and not sold.
