How the platforms actually compare
on the things that matter.
Built from published pricing where a provider publishes it, and clearly marked customer-reported figures where it doesn't. Where we don't have a reliable figure, it's marked "not published" rather than guessed at.

A closer look at each one.
Ashbourne
Long-established UK Direct Debit and membership provider, strong with traditional gyms that value its bundled, finance-spread access control hardware. Support runs Monday to Friday only, and most changes need a phone call rather than a few clicks online.
ClubWise
An established, FCA-regulated platform aimed at mid-to-large traditional gyms, with a feature set built up over many years. The interface is frequently described as cluttered, and several core tools are separate paid add-ons rather than included.
Glofox (now ABC Glofox)
Strong footprint in boutique fitness and franchise operators, with a polished member app and global backing. Setup and onboarding fees are common, and reported support responsiveness has declined as the company has scaled.
TeamUp
Popular with yoga studios, CrossFit boxes and other class-based businesses. Pricing scales with member count, so fees rise as the club grows, and it's less suited to a traditional gym that also needs access control.
LegitFit
An Ireland-founded platform growing quickly in the UK, well regarded for ease of use. It processes card payments through Stripe, so transaction fees sit on top of the software fee, and lower tiers cap the number of members or admin users.
Club Manager
A simple, affordable entry-level option aimed at smaller gyms with basic requirements. Reasonable if membership records and payments are all you need, but automation and marketing tools are minimal, and a sales pipeline is reserved for the top tier.
