cheap gym software · 2026

Cheap gym software that runs the whole gym, from $15

The real cost of gym software isn't the sticker price — it's the per-member fees, payment markups and annual contract stacked on top. Junocal is $15 a month flat, with the class timetable, memberships, drop-ins, waitlists and check-in all included, and payments on your own Stripe.

the real all-in cost

Flat $15, not per member

Most gym platforms quote a low monthly base, then charge per member or per client on top — so the bigger you grow, the more you pay for the same software. Junocal Starter is $15/month flat, the same whether you have 50 members or 500. No per-member fee, no per-client fee.

And the price you see is the price you pay. There's no annual contract, no marketplace commission skimming your bookings, and no processing markup on top of Stripe. The full all-in cost of running your gym on Junocal Starter is $15 a month, or $150 a year.

what $15 actually buys

Everything in Starter, at $15 a month

This is the entire base plan — one location, up to 10 rooms, up to 5 instructor seats. Nothing here is an upsell. Cheap price, full-featured product.

Class timetable

Publish your full weekly schedule — strength classes, conditioning, mobility, whatever you run — on a booking page members use from any phone browser. Nothing to download. Recurring slots are created for you once you set them.

Recurring memberships

Sell rolling monthly memberships that bill automatically through your own Stripe. Members pause their own membership, renewal nudges go out before each period ends, and failed-payment recovery chases the card so you don't have to.

Drop-in packs

Sell single drop-ins, 5-packs and 10-packs alongside memberships on the same timetable, paid the same way. Members can spend pack credits too, so casual and committed members both book the way they prefer.

Two-mode waitlists

When a class is full, members join the waitlist and get auto-promoted the moment a spot opens — or hold their place for a manual claim. Either way, popular classes keep filling without you watching the schedule.

Day-of roster and check-in

Open the day-of staff roster on any phone to see who's booked into each class and check members in at the door. Coaches see their own classes; the front desk sees the whole day. No extra login fee.

1:1 and duet appointments

Book personal training and small-group sessions as 1:1 or duet appointments next to your group classes. Conditional-logic intake collects injury history and goals before the first session.

Every automated member email

Booking confirmations, 24-hour reminders, welcome emails, win-back at 21 days dormant and failed-payment recovery — all bundled, all on every plan. Coupons, reviews and lead capture come standard too.

Your own Stripe, free CSV export

Connect your own Stripe (Connect Standard) and keep Stripe's published rates with card, ACH (US) and Direct Debit (UK). Export your data to CSV any time, free. No per-member fee, no marketplace cut, no annual contract.

memberships and drop-ins

Bill members the way they already pay, included at $15

Rolling memberships, 5- and 10-class packs and single drop-ins all sit on one timetable and get paid the same way. Members spend pack credits, pause their own membership, and renewal nudges go out automatically before each period ends — no spreadsheet, no manual chasing.

On most platforms the membership engine sits in a higher tier or carries a per-member fee. On Junocal it's in the $15 Starter plan, the same plan that includes the timetable, waitlists and check-in. That's the difference between cheap and stripped down.

your own stripe

You keep the money, and the data

Junocal runs on Stripe Connect Standard. You connect your own Stripe account, payments land at Stripe's published rates with card, ACH (US) and Direct Debit (UK), and Junocal never holds your funds or marks up processing. There's no marketplace commission and no per-member fee on top of the $15/month.

And there's a free CSV export of your members, bookings and revenue on every plan, so your data is always portable. Cheap pricing with no lock-in — month-to-month, public pricing, no annual contract.

when you grow

More locations, still no per-member fee

When you outgrow one room, Studio is $29/month and adds up to 5 locations, unlimited rooms and seats, staff logins, a front-desk role, member broadcasts and a substitute pool for covering classes. Growth is $69/month for up to 10 locations with QuickBooks for the books.

Every tier keeps the same promise: flat monthly price, your own Stripe at published rates, free CSV export and no annual contract. You scale on locations and seats, never on a per-member tax that climbs every time you sign someone new.

the things buyers ask

Questions

How much does cheap gym software actually cost per month?

Junocal Starter is $15/month flat — the same number in USD, GBP and EUR — or $150 a year. That price covers one location with up to 10 rooms and up to 5 instructor seats, and it is the full product: class timetable, recurring memberships, drop-in packs, waitlists and check-in are all included. Studio is $29/month for up to 5 locations and Growth is $69/month for up to 10 with QuickBooks.

Why is per-member pricing more expensive than a flat $15?

Per-member pricing charges you more every time you sign a member, so a growing gym pays a higher bill for the same software. Junocal charges a flat $15/month on Starter no matter how many members you have — 50 or 500 costs the same. There is no per-member fee, no per-client fee and no annual contract to lock you in.

Are memberships and drop-in passes included on the $15 plan?

Yes. Recurring memberships, 5- and 10-class packs, single drop-ins and two-mode waitlists are all on the $15/month Starter plan, not gated behind a higher tier. Members can spend pack credits, pause their own membership, and renewal nudges go out automatically before each period ends. Nothing in that list is a paid add-on.

Can I take payments through my own Stripe with no markup?

Yes. Junocal runs on Stripe Connect Standard, so you connect your own Stripe account and accept card, ACH (US) and Direct Debit (UK) at Stripe's published rates. Junocal adds no markup on processing, no marketplace commission and no per-member fee on top of the $15/month. The money lands in your account, not ours.

What happens to my member data if I switch later?

It stays yours. Junocal includes free CSV export of your members, bookings and revenue on every plan, including the $15 Starter, so you are never locked in. Migration off your current platform is free in your first 30 days — member lists, booking history, packs and memberships carry across. There is no annual contract on either side.

Cheap price, whole gym

14 days free, no card. Class timetable, memberships, drop-ins, waitlists and check-in — all in the $15 base plan, on your own Stripe. Migration done for you in your first 30 days.
