BrightCore vs PushPress

    Built for boutique studios, not just CrossFit boxes

    Why studios choose BrightCore

    • Local currency payment processing with no workarounds needed
    • Data-compliant from day one, built for studios outside the US
    • Full class schedule management alongside 1-1 appointments
    • Marketing automation and CRM included on Core
    • Dedicated account manager for every Core subscriber

    PushPress limitations

    • PushPress is built primarily for the US market with limited international support
    • Payment processing outside the US requires third-party configuration
    • Class management is CrossFit-focused and lacks flexibility for boutique studios
    • CRM and marketing automation are a separate paid product, not included in the core plan
