Gymcatch vs Newvia

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.

Newvia combines online booking, payments, client records, reminders, and reporting for wellness and service businesses. It is built for salons, spas, yoga studios, gyms, and similar services. Clients can book from a link shared on Instagram, WhatsApp, or a business website without installing an app. Businesses can collect the full service fee when a booking is made, with funds going to a connected payment account. Scheduling includes availability management, recurring appointments, and group bookings; Growth adds group classes with a published timetable. Client records can contain history, notes, and information about past purchases. The service sends booking confirmations and pre-appointment reminders automatically, while Growth adds WhatsApp reminders and follow-ups. Listed integrations include Stripe, Google Calendar, WhatsApp, Gmail, Apple Calendar, and Zoom, with two-way Google Calendar sync. Both plans allow unlimited bookings at one location. Basic is free forever for up to two staff; Growth costs $79 a month and supports up to six staff. The web service is from a company based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Newvia AI tools are described as coming soon, with early access signup available.
