8.4
Better overall

WodGuru scores higher overall at 8.4/10 vs 7.5/10. 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 $69/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 WellnessLiving wins

  • $69/mo Starter gets you class booking, payment processing, and a client app: cheaper entry than Mindbody at $99/mo for similar basics
  • Built-in loyalty and rewards program lets you give points for check-ins, referrals, and purchases. Most competitors require a third-party tool for this
  • Branded Achieve client app (white-label on BusinessPro at $349/mo) handles booking, purchases, and notifications without members leaving your brand
  • Free data migration from Mindbody, ClubReady, or other platforms. They handle the import so you do not lose member history

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 WellnessLiving falls short

  • Starter plan only allows 1 staff seat with basic scheduling. Any studio with 2+ instructors needs Business at $199/mo minimum
  • Website builder and content tools are paid add-ons on top of your plan, which inflates the real monthly cost
  • Support quality dropped noticeably in late 2025. Multiple users report longer hold times and less knowledgeable reps
  • USD-only pricing and payment processing. Studios in Canada, UK, or Australia deal with currency conversion headaches

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

Who is each product built for?

WellnessLiving

Target: 1-20 locations

Buy WellnessLiving if you run a boutique studio with 2+ instructors and want a Mindbody alternative with built-in loyalty rewards at a lower price point. The Business plan at $199/mo is the sweet spot. Skip the Starter plan, because 1 staff seat is too limiting for any real studio operation.
