Gymcatch vs Platsana

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.

Platsana is yoga studio management software for scheduling classes, handling bookings and memberships, processing payments, managing students and viewing analytics. Studios can schedule recurring classes and one-time events, make bulk changes, and automatically email students about class changes or cancellations. When a place opens in a full class, the next waitlisted student is added and notified. Both plans include class packs and unlimited-access memberships; the Studio plan also supports recurring memberships with class limits. Payments use Stripe, and studios connect their own Stripe account. Platsana says it takes no cut of sales, though Stripe processing fees apply. Studios can embed a live schedule on their website, and a branded mobile app lets students browse schedules, book classes and manage passes. Reports cover attendance, bookings and revenue. The service is available on web, Android and iOS. Core costs $50 per month and includes one location and up to 10 instructors; Studio costs $80 per month and includes unlimited instructors. Both plans include a 30-day free trial without a credit card. Extra locations and Schedule API access are paid add-ons.
