Glofox locks the branded app behind Elite or charges extra on lower tiers. Your sports club deserves a white-label app included from day one.
Book & Go is the best Glofox alternative if you're a sports facility (padel, tennis, pickleball) rather than a fitness studio. Glofox is class-and-gym focused; Book & Go is court-booking and tournament focused with a native mobile app.
The four biggest reasons sports clubs are switching from Glofox to Book & Go.
You are forcing your sports club into gym membership software. Glofox was designed for boutique gym check-ins, fitness classes, and wellness sessions. Court-based sports need court scheduling, tournament management, player rankings, and open-match coordination — features Glofox does not offer. Book & Go was purpose-built for racket clubs and multi-sport facilities.
Glofox includes a Custom Branded Member App only on its Elite plan. On Essential and Boost, the branded app is an optional add-on (cost not published). You are paying extra for what should be included. Book & Go includes a fully branded white-label app on all plans at no extra charge.
Glofox advertises "Plans starting at $99/month" but does not publish per-tier pricing. Essential, Boost, Elite, and Enterprise all require contacting sales. You have no idea what features cost or when you will be forced to upgrade. Book & Go has transparent pricing with all features included.
Glofox has zero tournament management, brackets, or player ranking features. These are core features for sports clubs but irrelevant for gym businesses. Book & Go includes full tournament and league management with automated draws, brackets, pool play, and player rankings — all included.
