Question 1

Is Gymcatch cheaper than BrightCore?

Accepted Answer

Gymcatch is inexpensive at £10 + VAT a month, and that includes automated waitlists, passes and bundles, push notifications and on-demand video. Its seven bolt-ons, including memberships, courses and custom waivers, are £2 + VAT each, so the full set comes to £24 + VAT a month. BrightCore's Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited bookings, waitlists, digital waivers and a member booking app. BrightCore Core at £89 a month is a bigger step up, adding your own branded app, marketing automation, CRM and retention tools.

Question 2

Who is Gymcatch best for, and who is BrightCore best for?

Accepted Answer

Gymcatch suits instructors and small studios that mainly need low-cost class bookings. BrightCore suits studios that want to grow: its Core plan adds your own branded app, automated marketing, and tools that flag members who have gone quiet so you can win them back before they cancel.

Question 3

Does Gymcatch give me my own branded app?

Accepted Answer

Gymcatch's standard plan includes its web, iOS and Android client apps. It offers white-labelled apps to licensors and brands. On BrightCore Core your own branded app is included, and BrightCore publishes it to both app stores under your studio's name, logo and colours.
