What the pricing really means
At first glance, ClubReady looks cheaper at $149/month vs $179/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where ClubReady wins
- Purpose-built for franchise models with multi-location management
- Robust lead management and sales pipeline tools
- Trusted by major franchise brands
- Comprehensive billing with past-due recovery
Where Mariana Tek wins
- Custom branded app is the best in boutique fitness. Over 90% of members book through it, which means fewer no-shows and less front-desk work
- Full API suite (Admin, Customer, Studio, Stripe, Documents) lets you build custom integrations that most competitors cannot support
- Interface is clean and polished for both studio owners and their clients. Members actually enjoy using the booking experience
- Multi-location reporting tracks attendance, revenue, and instructor performance across 2-100+ studios in one dashboard
Where ClubReady falls short
- Lowest review scores in comparison at 2.9 Capterra and 3.0 G2
- Interface cluttered and outdated
- Limited support hours 7am-7pm CST weekdays only
- Poor value-for-money rating at 2.6/5
Where Mariana Tek falls short
- No public pricing. You must go through a sales call, and studios report costs on the higher end for boutique software
- Xplor acquired Mariana Tek, and support quality has dipped since the acquisition. Response times are slower and turnover is noticeable
- No built-in class package expiration reminders or automated marketing sequences. You need a separate email tool for retention campaigns
- Designed for boutique studios, not large commercial gyms. If you run a 5,000-member health club, this is the wrong fit
