No monthly subscription and no contract: 1% on payments, capped at $149/month.
Predictable cost that stops climbing at the cap, instead of a custom monthly quote.
Core tools included without a multi-tier upgrade path.
Want your own member app? White Label delivers your own iOS and Android apps and a custom domain for $200 to start and then $200/month flat, typically well below a premium branded-app tier, and we keep building features as you ask for them.
Fits studios of any size: the fee cap keeps cost predictable whether you are small or large.

When Glofox might be the better fit

Glofox may be the better pick if its specific polished boutique member-app design and features are exactly what you want and you are comfortable with contract-based monthly pricing.

Small studio or large

Want your own app?

StudioDash scales from a single studio to large, multi-location businesses. Growing or established studios that want their own app can add White Label: your own iOS and Android apps listed under your gym's name, with your colors and your own words for things, plus a custom domain. $200 to start, then $200/month flat. On most platforms a branded app is a premium, higher-tier add-on, and none of them build you the feature you ask for next.
