Glofox (now under ABC Fitness) centers on a branded class-booking app and scheduling for boutique studios, on quote-based pricing. MemberZone centers on the membership economics instead: recurring dues, tiers, and register rewards with no monthly platform fee. If a branded booking app is core to your member experience, Glofox is built for it; if memberships and loyalty at the register are what you actually need, MemberZone gets you there without a quote.
