Which one wins for your gym?
Choose MoveMembers if you want to start on a genuine free plan, message members on LINE and WhatsApp, and run your interface in Thai, Burmese, Khmer, or Chinese. Vibefam has no free tier and stacks paid add-ons, but it publishes its prices, launches in about an hour, and offers PayNow and GrabPay, so it is a fair pick for a Singapore studio that does not need free or LINE.

Which one fits a gym your size
MoveMembers. Vibefam has no free tier, so the smallest studio pays $89 a month for a room it is still filling.
MoveMembers on price once a single add-on is counted, and on LINE. Vibefam if PayNow and GrabPay are how you are actually paid and LINE means nothing to your members.
Closer than the other comparisons on this site. Their Singapore payment rails and their onboarding are real advantages. MoveMembers stays flat at $199 with several locations, no add-on stack, and an interface in ten languages.
Which should you choose?
You want a genuine free tier to start (Vibefam's floor is $89/mo annual after a 7-day trial), native LINE and WhatsApp messaging (a Vibefam reviewer flags the missing WhatsApp API), a multilingual UI for Thai, Burmese, Khmer, or Chinese clienteles, or martial-arts grading shaped with fight gyms that use it every week.
You specifically want its AI website builder, ClassPass integration, or a PayNow and GrabPay-first Singapore setup, and you do not need a free tier or LINE. Vibefam publishes its pricing openly and offers a roughly 1-hour launch, a Studio Success Manager, and free migration, so it competes well on service in APAC.
What it costs over a year
Count the add-ons before comparing headline prices, because the headline is where the two look alike. A studio that wants a branded app is at roughly $269 a month there against $199 here; one that also wants the AI dashboard is near $398. The difference is not a discount, it is a different way of packaging the same job.
The other line that does not appear on either pricing page is the messaging one. If your members are on LINE, an English-only platform with no LINE channel means you keep running the conversation somewhere else, by hand, forever. That cost is a person's time every week, and it does not show up on an invoice.
Five questions to put to them in writing
A demo answers what the software does. These answer what it will cost you and what happens if you leave, which is what you cannot undo.
- Which add-ons do I need to match what I already do today, and what is the total?
- Is the annual price the one advertised, or does it require a year up front?
- Which features sit on the top tier only?
- Is there a WhatsApp or LINE channel today, and if not, is one committed?
- Can I export members, memberships and attendance, and in what format?
What MoveMembers does not do
- No named PayNow or GrabPay integration. A Singapore studio posts its own QR under a custom label, and the desk confirms the transfer: the mechanism works, but it is not the one-click rail they have.
- No ClassPass connection. If a meaningful share of your class attendance comes through ClassPass, that is a channel we do not plug into.
- No door access integration. They sell one; we do not have an equivalent.
- No AI dashboard. Reports are reports: attendance, revenue, retention, compared to the same stretch of the previous period.
The payment rails are the honest weak point of this comparison, and pretending otherwise would be the kind of claim this page exists to avoid. In Singapore, PayNow is how a studio is paid, and a named integration that reconciles it beats a QR the desk confirms by hand. If that daily friction is your main cost, their answer is better than ours today.
What the friction buys, if you accept it, is a free tier that is not a trial, no add-on stack, a LINE channel for the members who use it, and an interface in ten languages. Those are the four lines that decide it for most studios in this region, and none of them is a matter of opinion.
Who each product was built for
Vibefam was built in Singapore for Singapore, and it shows in the right places: PayNow and GrabPay first, ClassPass connected, onboarding done by a named person, prices published rather than quoted. For a studio whose members are in Singapore and whose money arrives through those rails, the fit is genuine, and it is the closest comparison on this site.
MoveMembers was built with gyms in Thailand, where the channel is LINE, the transfer is PromptPay, and the coach at the desk may read Thai, Burmese or Khmer rather than English. The free tier exists because a room still filling up should not pay, and the absence of add-ons exists because a studio that has to price four modules before knowing its bill will price them wrong.
So the question is not which product is better, it is which country's habits you run on. A studio in Singapore that never touches LINE and needs ClassPass should look hard at theirs. A studio in Bangkok, Chiang Mai or across the border has almost nothing to gain from GrabPay and everything to gain from a channel its members already read.

Vibefam vs MoveMembers, answered.
MoveMembers has a genuine free plan; Vibefam does not. Vibefam publishes its prices openly (from $89/mo annual, $109 monthly, after a 7-day trial), so this is not about hidden pricing. The real wedge is starting free and avoiding Vibefam add-ons like a branded app (+$80) or AI dashboard (+$129).
Vibefam relies on email and SMS, and a reviewer on Software Advice explicitly flags the missing WhatsApp API; it has no LINE. MoveMembers includes both LINE and WhatsApp natively, which is a concrete advantage for messaging-first gyms in Thailand and SE Asia.
Yes. MoveMembers ships a UI in 10 languages including Thai, Burmese, Khmer, and Chinese. Vibefam appears to be English-only, with no public evidence of a localized interface, so multilingual operators tend to prefer MoveMembers.
Yes. Export your members, memberships, and schedule from Vibefam and import them into MoveMembers via CSV, with help from the team. You can start on the free plan and upgrade only when you grow, so there is no upfront commitment.
Vibefam is a strong pick if you want its AI website builder, ClassPass integration, or a PayNow and GrabPay-first setup, and you do not need a free tier or LINE. It is Singapore-based with hands-on onboarding and free migration, so it competes well on service in APAC.
MoveMembers, in most configurations. Their tiers reach about $189 and the branded app, the AI dashboard and door access stack on top at roughly $80, $129 and $50. Max is $199 with everything included and several locations. Count the add-ons you would actually switch on before comparing headline prices.
Through the generic wallet flow rather than a named integration: the studio posts its own PayNow QR, the amount is shown beside it, and the desk marks the transfer received. If one-click PayNow reconciliation is what decides your week, theirs is better than ours today, and we would rather write that than imply otherwise.
Only on MoveMembers: free forever up to 25 active members, with booking, the member portal, check-in, LINE and payments included. Vibefam runs a seven-day trial and then starts at about $89 a month billed annually.
