Gym software costs: modeled, floored or unpublished
Short answer
- Only PushPress is fully priced: Free ($0 + 4.99%/2.89%) vs Pro ($159 + 2.89%/0.79%); the break-even works out to $7,571.43/mo in total dues; above it, the Pro plan’s total is lower.
- Other rows are software-only or floors, not complete costs and not comparable to PushPress totals.
- Scope: membership dues, one payment per member. Booking-led workflows, add-ons and setup are not modeled.
Software fee plus card and ACH processing where the vendor page publishes both, from each vendor’s own pricing page (October 24, 2026; TeamUp and Wodify October 28, 2026). Where a page does not show a number, this tool says so instead of guessing.
What-if: try a processing rate on the unpublished rows
A hypothetical, not a quote: the same rate is applied to every non-PushPress row so you can see the effect. It cannot turn a “starting at” floor into your price; those rows stay lower bounds. Leave blank for software-only values.
This calculator covers: PushPress (Free, Pro and Max), Gymdesk, TeamUp, Zen Planner, Mindbody, Glofox and Wodify. Kicksite, WellnessLiving, Hapana and Momence are in the price table, not the calculator.
Hypothetical rate in use. Totals on these rows are what-if scenarios or lower bounds, not estimates and not vendor quotes.
Modeled software + processing only: one payment per member per month and the plan fees and rates shown. Excludes add-ons (e.g. PushPress Train/Grow/branded app), setup and hardware, text messaging, taxes, refunds, chargebacks, international payments and contract terms. Software fee brackets use your active-member count where the vendor published them. Estimates, not quotes. Formulas & limits.
Three things the audit shows
The free plan costs more at volume
PushPress lists $0/mo with 4.99% + 30¢ on cards, and $159/mo (Pro) with 2.89% + 30¢. Pro costs less once total monthly dues (card and ACH, any mix) pass a break-even that works out to $7,571.43.
“Starting at” is a floor
Mindbody shows “starting at $79/mo” but quotes everything above Starter. Its own page puts a 20% fee, capped at $30, on a new client’s first purchase made through its app.
Vendors bill different things
Flat plan + processing (PushPress), flat plan tiers (Wodify, WellnessLiving), active-member or student brackets (Gymdesk, Zen Planner, TeamUp, Kicksite) or quote-only subscriptions (Glofox, Hapana, Momence).
