Fitli vs Gymdesk
The two most transparent pricing tables in this catalog, built on opposite scaling logic. Fitli bills by staff-seat count ($49–$149/mo, Solo to Enterprise) with unlimited clients at every tier — including the top one, which is still a published number. Gymdesk bills by member count instead (five tiers, $75–$200/mo) and falls back to a quote only past 400 members, while also shipping belt/rank tracking for martial arts schools that Fitli does not offer.

The verdict
Pick Fitli if your client roster is large or growing and you want the bill to stay flat regardless — a solo instructor with 300 students pays the same $49/mo as one with 10. Pick Gymdesk if you run a martial arts school (belt/rank tracking is built in) or simply prefer a ladder that scales with members rather than staff, with door access and a branded app available as paid add-ons.
Choose Fitli if…

- You run a small team (1–11 staff) at a yoga, Pilates, dance or general fitness studio
Choose Gymdesk if…
- You run a martial arts school and want belt/rank tracking built in
- You would rather price by member count than by staff seats
