For a fitness or appointment studio, MoveMembers does the whole job
SimplyBook is an excellent, mature booking tool for any service business. But a fitness, martial arts or EMS studio needs more than bookings: memberships and packs, class rosters, a check-in kiosk, belts and a shop. MoveMembers covers the appointment side and all of that in one flat-priced app, with native LINE and a Thai interface, and no per-booking limit as your volume grows.
MoveMembers vs SimplyBook, compared
| Feature | MoveMembers | SimplyBook |
|---|---|---|
| What it's built for | A studio's whole operation in one app.Memberships, class packs, appointments, check-in and payments, for gyms and fitness, martial arts or EMS studios. | Appointment booking first, for any service business (salons, clinics, tutors, wellness).Deep booking, lighter on memberships and class packs. |
| Pricing model | Flat public tiers.Free $0, Pro $99/mo, Max $199/mo, everything included. Priced by active members, not by bookings. | Tiered by bookings per month and by how many 'custom features' you switch on.Free tier is small, then roughly $9.9 / $29.9 / $59.9 / $99.9 USD. Cheap to start at low volume. |
| Booking volume limits | No per-booking cap.A busy appointment studio with 100+ sessions a week pays the same flat price. | Plans are capped by bookings per month.A busy studio climbs tiers as its volume grows. |
| How features are unlocked | Everything in the tier.Messaging, shop, multi-location and multi-currency are included, with no per-feature quota. | A large 'Custom Features' catalog: capabilities are enabled within a per-plan feature quota, so more features can push you to a higher plan. |
| Memberships, packs, recurring | Full memberships, class packs, credits, recurring billing, freezes and expiry. | Has memberships and packages, but it is appointment-first, so membership depth and package workflows are lighter. |
| Group classes and capacity | Group classes with capacity, waitlists, a check-in kiosk and a live roster. | Class scheduling exists, but the core is 1:1 and service appointments. |
| Appointment scheduling | Yes, and tuned for single-station studios: buffers, per-service capacity and exclusivity so two sessions can't clash on one machine. | Its core strength.Very deep booking rules, intake forms, resources and a mature booking widget. |
| LINE messaging | Native two-way LINE, built in on Pro and Max.It is the dominant channel in Thailand. | No native LINE.Reminders by email and SMS, plus some channels via integrations. |
| Languages / Thai interface | UI in 10 languages, including Thai. | Also strongly multilingual, Thai included.Roughly at parity here. |
| Martial arts / belt tracking | Multi-grade and belt tracking, built by a working Muay Thai and MMA gym owner. | Not a fitness or martial arts tool, so no belt or grade tracking. |
| Front desk: check-in and POS | A check-in kiosk and a point-of-sale shop at the counter, with stock. | No gym check-in kiosk or retail point of sale.It is a booking system. |
| Maturity and ecosystem | Newer and focused on fitness.Fewer integrations, but the studio essentials are built in. | Very mature, with a large install base and a big feature and integration marketplace across many industries. |
Which should you choose?
You run a fitness, martial arts or EMS studio, or a gym, and want appointments AND memberships, class packs, a check-in kiosk, belts, a shop and native LINE in one flat-priced app. You take a high volume of sessions and don't want per-booking limits, and your members live on LINE.
You are a pure appointment or booking business outside fitness (salon, clinic, tutoring, wellness), you want the widest booking-feature and integration catalog, or your monthly volume is low enough that its free or cheaper tiers cover you. As a dedicated booking system it is mature and very capable.
