Stop Paying Extra for a Branded App
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.

Why Sports Clubs Leave Glofox
The four biggest reasons sports clubs are switching from Glofox to Book & Go.
Glofox Was Built for Gyms, Not Courts
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.
Branded App Gated Behind Elite Tier
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.
Opaque Pricing Structure
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.
No Tournament or Competition Features
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.
Where Glofox is Stronger
- Boutique Gym & Studio Focus: Glofox is purpose-built for boutique gyms and fitness studios. If you run a gym with class check-ins and membership tiers, Glofox's feature set is tailored to that workflow.
- Member Retention Features: Glofox emphasizes member engagement and retention tools. If your business model depends on long-term member retention for fitness programs, Glofox provides engagement features built for that goal.
- Price Lock Claim: Glofox claims "price is locked for life" on their FAQ. If long-term price stability is important to you, this is a pitch Glofox actively promotes (verify claim directly with Glofox).
