Gymcatch vs YogaCRM

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.

YogaCRM is a management platform for solo instructors and small yoga studios, covering scheduling, bookings, check-in, payments, and student communications. Schedules can include recurring classes, workshops, retreats, private sessions, instructor assignments, and rosters, with automatic promotion from waitlists. Students can check real-time availability and book drop-ins, courses, and trials from a device. Check-in supports QR codes or taps, guest and waiver capture, capacity tracking, and no-show follow-ups. Payment options include Stripe, pay-at-venue, memberships, passes, packages, and invoices; instructor payout reports are also available. Listed integrations include iCal and Google Calendar synchronization, Stripe and PayPal payments, and Zoom. Student notices can go by WhatsApp, SMS, or email, with class updates and announcement templates. The mobile app lets owners and team members manage sessions, students, bookings, schedules, check-ins, notifications, and account details. YogaCRM lists a free plan and a 30-day trial, with paid plans from $29 per month. It says it has no contracts and will provide a full customer-data export if a customer leaves.
