Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. PushPress - best for CrossFit boxes and small/mid independent gyms.** Highest user ratings of the main players (4.7/5 on Capterra across ~185 reviews vs Wodify's 4.5), and it has a genuinely usable free tier for core membership/billing/check-in, with CRM automation and performance tracking as paid add-ons. Closest brand ties to CrossFit affiliates. Start here if you're a single-location box.\n\n**2. Zen Planner - best value for mid-size gyms and martial arts/strength studios.** Transparent pricing starting around $99/mo (Studio) up to ~$249/mo (Engage), solid belt/skill tracking, good integrations. Cheaper than Mindbody for comparable scheduling and billing.\n\n**3. Mindbody - best if you want the member marketplace.** $129-$699/mo depending on tier. The scheduling/reservation engine is the most mature, and the Mindbody app itself drives new-member discovery, which no competitor really replicates. The tradeoff: it's expensive, upsell-heavy, and your brand sits inside their marketplace.\n\n**4. ABC Glofox - best when you want your own branded member app.** Members book through ", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
