TL;DR Summary

Classta: £10 / $15 per month — everything included.

Bookwhen: many everyday features restricted to Standard+ (£19+VAT / $29). No SMS reminders. Attendance register is manual and requires Standard+.

Gymcatch: low base price but relies on bolt-ons that add up. Strong emphasis on clients using the app, which can add friction.

Flat £10 / $15 — no tiers, no bolt-ons. Jump to pricing.
