StudioDash vs PushPress

A transparent, capped alternative to PushPress for gyms that want to avoid high processing rates.

Get Started Free

PushPress is a popular gym management platform, especially with CrossFit gyms, and it offers a permanent free plan. The key difference is how the free plan is paid for: PushPress Free is funded by higher payment processing rates, and you upgrade to paid tiers ( 59 or $229/month) to lower those rates. StudioDash keeps a single model: $0/month plus a transparent 1% on payments, capped at 49/month.

Why gyms choose StudioDash

  • Transparent split: you see the standard Stripe rate and a flat 1% on top, capped at 49/month, instead of a higher blended processing rate.
  • The 49/month cap means your platform cost stops climbing as you grow, without moving to a paid subscription tier.
  • One pricing model to reason about, not a free tier vs paid tier processing-rate tradeoff.

When PushPress might be the better fit

PushPress may be the better pick if you are a CrossFit gym that wants its CrossFit-specific workflows and community, or a higher-volume gym that has already modeled its processing costs on a paid PushPress tier.

Small studio or large

Want your own branded 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: fully-branded iOS and Android apps listed under your gym's name, plus a custom domain, for a flat $200/month. On most platforms a branded app is a premium, higher-tier add-on.

StudioDash vs PushPress: common questions

PushPress has a free plan too. How is StudioDash different?+
Both are $0/month. The difference is how the free plan is funded. PushPress Free is reportedly funded by higher card processing rates (around 4.19% + $0.30 per transaction as of the last public listing), and you upgrade to a paid tier to lower them. StudioDash charges the standard Stripe rate (about 2.9% + $0.30 in the US, not marked up) plus a flat 1%, capped at 49/month. For a gym doing real volume, a capped 1% on top of standard rates is usually cheaper than a high blended rate. Verify PushPress current rates on their pricing page before deciding.
Which is cheaper at higher revenue?+
Because StudioDash caps its platform fee at 49/month per gym, your StudioDash cost flattens as you grow. Compare that to your blended PushPress processing cost (or paid-tier subscription plus lower processing) at your expected monthly volume.
