How the numbers are made
Formula
V = members × average dues (monthly dues billed)
card volume = V × card share ; ACH volume = V − card volume
payments = members (one per member per month)
PushPress total = plan price + card% × card volume + ACH% × ACH volume + $0.30 × payments
Other rows = published software fee for your member bracket (a floor where the vendor says “starting at”)
+ an optional HYPOTHETICAL processing rate on every payment, shown as a scenario or lower bound
Editorial responsibility and corrections
- Responsibility: each displayed price is checked against the vendor’s own page, and the checked date is recorded. No third-party price source is used as a vendor fact.
- Cadence: prices are re-read by hand monthly (next check 2026-11-02), and also after a reported correction or a visible vendor change. No automatic refresh is promised.
- Corrections: verified errors update the value and checked date; unverifiable points remain labeled unknown. The route is Contact & corrections (address pending).
- Change history: material changes are dated on Updates.
Known limits (visible on purpose)
- Only PushPress publishes enough on its page to compute a full monthly total. Every other row is software-only or a floor. The what-if processing rate turns them into clearly labeled scenarios or lower bounds; it never turns a “starting at” price into your price and is not a vendor quote.
- Scope of the modeled total: 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.
- Not shown on the pages checked October 24, 2026: Gymdesk Payments’ rate, Zen Planner’s member brackets, Mindbody’s plan prices and rates, and Glofox’s prices. Not published on the pages checked October 28, 2026: Wodify’s full card and ACH rate schedule (its pricing page FAQ gives only “as low as” rates) and the amount of the small onboarding fee its FAQ mentions (its page header says “no hidden fees”), Kicksite’s annual price, WellnessLiving’s processing rate and annual total, and Hapana’s and Momence’s subscription prices. TeamUp’s six tiers and Wodify’s list prices were read on October 28, 2026.
- Setup fees, hardware, add-on apps, text-message charges, contract terms and cancellation fees are not modeled unless the vendor page shows them.
- Gym owners’ real switching costs (payment-token migration, staff retraining, member churn risk) are not priced.
- Third-party forum and blog claims about pricing were treated as leads only, not as prices. Mindbody’s app fee follows Mindbody’s own wording; earlier research notes that said 15 to 20% of bookings were not supported by the vendor page.
- The research behind this site shows market signals, not guaranteed traffic or revenue.
Out of scope in this site
Affiliate programs, sponsored listings, paid lead-generation forms and any revenue for this site: none exist, none are claimed, and none have been applied for. The site uses DataBull analytics, self-hosted in my own Cloudflare account (see Privacy), and offers an optional monthly price re-read email through SendFox (double opt-in) (see Updates). Price-change, vendor, sponsorship and contact forms are hosted by FormRobin and linked from Contact & corrections and Advertise; they do not add anyone to the email list. A sitemap is published; no search-engine submission is claimed.
