A Glofox alternative for studios that want one system

Glofox and Alef Solutions both run class-based studios — schedules, memberships, billing, member communication. The difference is scope and delivery: Glofox (sold as ABC Glofox) is a dedicated boutique-fitness platform with a branded member app, while Alef runs the whole business on one shared record, with scheduling as one module alongside CRM, POS, and a website builder — and we stand the system up for you.

About Glofox

Glofox, sold as ABC Glofox, is a boutique fitness and gym management platform: class booking, memberships and recurring billing, lead capture with a fitness-focused CRM, and a branded member app studios offer under their own name. Its boutique-studio focus and member-app experience are real strengths. Alef takes a different approach — one operating system for the whole business, delivered trained and running.

Pricing model
A per-user subscription to run it, plus a scoped one-time fee to build your system — delivered running, not configured by you.
Tiered subscription plans quoted for your studio, plus integrated payments.
Scope
One platform, one login, shared records: scheduling and classes, memberships, attendance, POS, CRM, and a website builder — the whole business, not just the front desk.
A dedicated boutique-fitness suite: class booking, memberships, billing, lead capture, and a branded member app.
Memberships
Membership plans on one entitlement engine, with a business-wide roster, freeze and unfreeze, and MRR — the same rights-to-attend that one-tap check-in consumes.
Memberships and recurring billing built for class-based studios.
One customer record
The same customer record across classes, POS, and CRM — a booking, a sale, and a contact are one person, not three systems.
A fitness CRM that follows members from lead capture to renewal, inside the studio suite.
Delivery
White-glove: we configure, populate, train your team, and hand you a running system.
Guided onboarding and migration support, within a fitness-focused product.

When Glofox may fit better

  • A branded member app under your studio's own name is a priority, and an app-first member experience is what you're buying.
  • You want a vendor focused purely on boutique fitness, with CRM and messaging built around the member lifecycle.
  • Your needs stay inside the studio — classes, memberships, member messaging — without retail POS, inventory, or a website builder in the same system.

When Alef Solutions fits better

  • You want scheduling, memberships, POS, CRM, and your website on one shared record — not stitched-together point tools.
  • You'd rather receive the system delivered running — configured, populated, and your team trained — than set it up yourself.
  • You run a broader business where the studio is one part of the operation, and you want it all in one place.
