WodGuru

8.4
Better overall

WodGuru scores higher overall at 8.4/10 vs 8.0/10. WodGuru is the most affordable gym management software on the market, period. A CrossFit box with 150 members pays $150/mo and gets scheduling, payments, attendance, and member management. That is 3-5x cheaper than Mindbody or PushPress Pro. The trade-off is fewer features, no POS, no marketing suite, and a smaller support team. If you run a straightforward gym and your biggest pain is class booking and payment collection, WodGuru does exactly that at a price that is hard to argue with.

What the pricing really means

At first glance, WodGuru looks cheaper at $1/month vs $239/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 Exercise.com wins

  • Workout builder is the best in the category. You can program progressions, assign plans to clients, and deliver workouts through a custom branded app
  • Custom branded iOS and Android apps included in your plan: your gym name, your logo, your colors. Clients download your app, not a generic one
  • Covers in-person scheduling, online training delivery, and e-commerce (sell programs, merch, supplements) in one platform
  • Support team rated 4.9/5 on Capterra. Trainers report getting setup help and workout template guidance within hours

Where WodGuru wins

  • At $1/member/month, a 100-member gym pays just $100/mo for full management software
  • Perfect 5.0/5 on Capterra, the highest rating in the gym software category
  • Free version available plus a 14-day trial on paid features
  • Simple pricing with no hidden fees, tiers, or feature gates on the paid plan

Where Exercise.com falls short

  • Starts at $239/mo with no public pricing breakdown: you must sit through a sales call to get your actual quote
  • A solo personal trainer paying $239/mo needs to sell at least 3-4 extra online clients per month just to cover the software cost
  • Interface is feature-dense with a steep learning curve. Plan on 2-3 weeks before you feel comfortable navigating everything
  • No consumer marketplace for client discovery. Unlike Mindbody, new clients will not find you through the app itself

Where WodGuru falls short

  • Only about 60 total reviews, so ratings could shift as more users join
  • No POS, retail, or inventory management for gyms selling merchandise
  • Polish company still growing internationally, support hours may not cover all time zones
  • Missing marketing tools and website builder that competitors include
