Mariana Tek vs WodGuru
WodGuru scores 8.4/10 vs 7.2/10. Best for: Small CrossFit boxes, yoga studios, martial arts schools, and budget-conscious gym owners who want real management software without spending $150+/month.
WodGuru scores higher overall at 8.4/10 vs 7.2/10. 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 $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 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 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 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
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
