Junocal publishes flat per-plan pricing ($39 / $99 / $199), uses Stripe Connect Standard direct, and is independently owned — not part of the ABC Fitness Solutions portfolio. Built for boutique class-based studios, not multi-location fitness chains. Migration from Glofox handled in your first 30 days.
Sources verified May 2026. Glofox pricing references are from third-party reports; Glofox does not publish pricing on its homepage.
Junocal is a Glofox alternative built for small, class-based boutique studios. Three structural differences: transparent flat pricing vs. Glofox's sales-call gating; independence from the ABC Fitness Solutions ownership and post-acquisition fee pattern; and Stripe Connect Standard direct vs. Glofox's bundled processing. From $39/month, no annual contract.
Glofox does not publish pricing on its homepage. Studios get a quote via demo call, with the price typically anchored to studio size, locations and which add-ons (branded app, marketing tools, advanced reporting) are bundled in. The opacity itself is a friction — Junocal publishes flat pricing that every studio gets the same.
Glofox was acquired by ABC Fitness Solutions, part of the broader Xplor/ABC fitness-software consolidation. Documented post-acquisition patterns across the ABC/Xplor portfolio (Mariana Tek, Momence and others) show pricing pressure, contract length expansion and add-on monetisation in the 12-24 months following acquisition. The asset acquired is partly the lock-in.
Glofox is a genuinely good platform for medium fitness gyms — the franchise-tier reporting, multi-location architecture and member-management depth are built for that customer. For a single-location boutique pilates or yoga studio, much of that depth is paid-for complexity. Junocal is intentionally narrower, built for 1-5 instructor boutique class-based studios.
Glofox payments default to Glofox Payments / merchant-of-record processing rather than direct Stripe access. Effective rates and dispute handling route through Glofox rather than Stripe direct. Junocal uses Stripe Connect Standard — the studio owns the Stripe account, pays Stripe's published rates, handles disputes directly with Stripe.

For boutique class-based studios (pilates, yoga, barre, dance, fitness), Junocal is a Glofox alternative with three structural differences: transparent flat pricing ($39 / $99 / $199 published) vs. Glofox's sales-call-gated quotes; independence from ABC Fitness Solutions ownership and the documented post-acquisition fee pattern; and Stripe Connect Standard direct rather than Glofox's bundled processing model.
The most common reasons in publicly verified reviews since the ABC Fitness Solutions acquisition: pricing pressure and tier-up pushes during annual renewals, sales-call gating on pricing changes, contract length expansion, and feature complexity for boutique studios that don't need the franchise-tier reporting Glofox added for its gym-chain customers. Glofox is genuinely good for medium fitness gyms; the friction is when a boutique studio uses the bigger product.
Glofox does not publish pricing on its homepage — quotes require a sales call. Independent reports place Glofox in the $120-$300/month range for boutique studios depending on tier and add-ons. Junocal publishes flat pricing: $39 Starter, $99 Studio, $199 Growth. The transparency is itself a differentiator — a studio gets the same price as every other studio, with no negotiation.
Glofox is owned by ABC Fitness Solutions, which is itself part of the Xplor/ABC consolidation across fitness software. The ownership context matters because ABC's post-acquisition playbook across its other platforms shows a documented pattern of pricing pressure, contract length expansion and add-on monetisation in the 12-24 months post-acquisition. Junocal is independently owned with no investors whose return profile depends on lock-in.
