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 clubs switch

Why Sports Clubs Leave Glofox

The four biggest reasons sports clubs are switching from Glofox to Book & Go.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

Why is Glofox a bad fit for racket sports clubs?
Glofox was built for boutique gyms and fitness studios. It uses class/session scheduling that does not translate well to court operations. It lacks court-specific features like court scheduling, tournament management, player rankings, and open-match coordination. Sports clubs need software purpose-built for courts, not gyms.
Can I get a branded app without upgrading to Glofox Elite?
On Glofox Essential and Boost, a Custom Branded Member App is an optional add-on (cost not published). On Elite, it is included. Book & Go includes a fully branded white-label app on all plans at no extra charge.
Will I lose features if I switch from Glofox to Book & Go?
No. Book & Go offers equivalent member engagement, sales pipeline, and POS features. You gain court booking, tournament management, player rankings, and open-match coordination — features Glofox does not offer.
Is Book & Go cheaper than Glofox?
Glofox advertises "Plans starting at $99/month" but does not publish per-tier pricing. Book & Go offers flat subscription pricing that includes white-label app, POS, tournament management, analytics, and dedicated account support — no tier complexity, no hidden costs. Contact us for a quote.
How long does migration from Glofox to Book & Go take?
Most clubs complete the migration in 2–4 weeks. Our onboarding team handles everything: member data migration, court configuration, payment setup, and app design. We ensure zero downtime for your members during the transition.
What happens to my member data if I leave Glofox?
With Glofox, data lives within their ecosystem. Export options depend on your plan. With Book & Go, you own 100% of player data, emails, and booking history from day one. If you ever switch away from Book & Go, your data comes with you. No lock-in.
