For gyms in Thailand and SE Asia, MoveMembers fits better
If your members live on LINE and you want a Thai interface, MoveMembers is the better fit: native LINE messaging (PushPress has none), a UI in Thai and nine other languages, and flat pricing with messaging included instead of a $329/mo add-on. PushPress is still excellent, especially for CrossFit boxes and US gyms with its mature workout tracking and larger install base.
MoveMembers vs PushPress, compared
| Feature | MoveMembers | PushPress |
|---|---|---|
| Published pricing | Flat, public tiers: Free $0, Pro $99/mo, Max $199/mo (USD). Same prices apply internationally. | Public core tiers: Free $0, Pro $159/mo, Max $229/mo (USD). International pricing is quote-only. |
| Free tier | Free forever, no card, up to 25 active members, full core features. | Genuinely free and more generous on headcount: unlimited members. Trade-off is the highest processing rate (4.99% + $0.30 per card charge). |
| How the vendor makes money | Subscription only. You keep 100% of your payments, no transaction commission (connect your own provider). | Subscription plus payment processing: 4.99% (Free), 2.89% (Pro), 2.75% (Max) + $0.30 per card charge. The free plan is monetized through the higher rate. |
| Total cost at full feature set | Messaging (LINE, WhatsApp, email), shop, multi-location and multi-currency are included in the Pro/Max price. No separate modules. | Base plan plus paid modules: Train from $79/mo, Grow $329/mo (CRM + email/SMS/WhatsApp), branded app about $81 to 97/mo. Full stack reported around $559/mo plus processing. |
| LINE messaging | Native two-way LINE messaging built in (Pro/Max), the dominant channel in Thailand. | No LINE support found in the product or docs. Its only over-the-top option is WhatsApp, inside the Grow add-on. |
| Other messaging channels | WhatsApp, email and SMS two-way alongside LINE (you supply your own provider; carrier fees may apply). | Automated push, email and SMS; WhatsApp only via Grow ($329/mo), needs Meta verification and template approval. |
| Languages / Thai interface | UI in 10 languages including Thai, plus EN, FR, ES, IT, DE, ZH, MY, PT, KM. | Appears English-first; we found no evidence of a Thai-language interface (treat as unconfirmed, not a hard 'English only'). |
| Martial arts / belt tracking | Built by a working Muay Thai and MMA gym owner; multi-grade and belt tracking. | Comparable: PushPress added rank and belt tracking to Core Pro and Max. Roughly at parity, not a MoveMembers-only feature. |
| CrossFit / workout tracking | Supports CrossFit and functional gyms, but a younger platform with a lighter workout-programming ecosystem. | A genuine strength: purpose-built for CrossFit affiliates with mature workout logging, PRs, leaderboards and a social feed (in the Train add-on). |
| Local market fit (Thailand / SE Asia) | Built in Thailand for Thai and SE Asian gyms: LINE, Thai UI, local-first workflows. | US-centric but genuinely international (reported 5,000+ gyms, 34 countries, 135+ currencies via Stripe). Thailand onboarding not explicitly confirmed. |
| Setup and lock-in | Self-serve, live in an afternoon, data export and no lock-in. | Also self-serve with an instant free plan. Common complaints are add-on cost creep and, for some reviewers, billing reliability. |
| Maturity and reviews | Newer and smaller, fewer public reviews to date. | Established with a large review footprint (G2, Capterra). Praised for ease of use and its member app; criticisms include billing hiccups and add-ons inflating the price. |
Which should you choose?
You run a gym in Thailand or Southeast Asia and your members live on LINE, you need a Thai or otherwise localized interface, or you want messaging included in a flat published price rather than a separate CRM module plus higher processing. It is also a natural home for Muay Thai, MMA and BJJ academies that want belt tracking with local-first communication.
You run a CrossFit box or a US-based gym that benefits from its mature workout tracking, leaderboards and polished branded member app, you value a large well-reviewed platform with a big install base, or your members do not use LINE and English is fine. Its CrossFit depth and unlimited free-tier headcount may serve you better.
