Glofox is the better fit if you want their member app and a plan aimed at boutique studios or several locations, and you are fine requesting a quote. Fitnito is the better fit if you want to read the software price first and start on a free plan, and you do not need a native app.

Built Because One Gym Got Priced Out
Fitnito started when an independent gym faced a steep price hike on its booking software — an increase that cut too deep into a small business's margins to justify. With weeks to spare before members would lose the ability to book classes, we built a simple, affordable alternative and got them back up and running before the next billing cycle.
That's why affordability isn't a marketing angle for us — it's the entire reason Fitnito exists.
