Which one is right for you?
MoveMembers is the better choice for most independent, single-location studios, boxes, and martial-arts gyms that want pricing they can see without a sales call, a genuine free tier, and no surprise mid-contract hikes. Glofox is multilingual, multi-currency, and ships a branded member app, so it still fits franchises and multi-location networks. For independents, the honest edges are transparency, price, independence, localization, and support.

Which should you choose?
You are an independent single-location studio, boutique, or CrossFit box that wants published pricing you can compare without a sales call, a free tier to start, and no surprise mid-contract hikes. It is a strong fit if you were burned by post-acquisition support decline, or if you need LINE and multilingual reach in Thailand and SE Asia, or martial-arts grading.
You run a franchise or multi-location network, especially inside the ABC Fitness ecosystem, and need franchise and royalty workflows, enterprise account management, or its branded member app at scale.
