PushPress vs. Wodify: What Your Gym Software Actually Costs in 2026

Try this before you read anything else. Open Wodify's pricing page and work out what your gym would pay per month.

You can't. Not because you're missing something, but because the numbers aren't there. Wodify publishes exactly one figure, in a banner above the plans: $199 per month per location, struck through and replaced with $99. The line under it supplies the condition: book a demo, within a limited window, and save $100 every month.

So the only real price on the page is the entry tier's list rate, $199, and the number printed next to it is a limited-time end-of-quarter discount that requires getting on a call. Below that banner, the three plan cards carry no prices at all. None of the seven add-ons have prices. The onboarding fee is described as "small." Processing rates are quoted as "as low as," which by Wodify's own feature list is the rate on the top tier, not the rate on yours.

That's the real difference between these two platforms, and it shows up long before you compare features. One company will tell you what you're going to pay. The other one wants a demo first.

Quick Comparison at a Glance

Everything below is taken from each company's public pricing page and public review profiles, verified September 16, 2026.

Two things in that table deserve to be called out honestly. Wodify's best published card rate, 2.7%, is slightly better than PushPress's best published card rate of 2.75% — though it's attached to a plan whose price they don't print. And on support quality, G2 scores both platforms identically at 9.5. Anyone telling you Wodify's support is bad is not reading the same reviews we are.

What is PushPress?

PushPress is gym management software for owner-operated, in-person gyms. It handles billing, scheduling, member management, and coaching, and it's built around CrossFit boxes, functional fitness gyms, and martial arts academies.

The company was started by gym owners, and the pricing model reflects a specific belief: a gym that isn't making money yet shouldn't be paying for software. Core Free is $0 per month, permanently, with unlimited members and staff. You pay a higher processing rate in exchange, and you can move up to Core Pro at $159 or Core Max at $229 when the higher plan pays for itself in lower fees.

The platform splits into Core (the gym management system), Grow (CRM, lead gen, and website), and Train (programming and 1:1 workout delivery). Prices for all of them are on the pricing page. The Staff App — the native app your coaches, admins, and owners actually run the floor from — is included with every Core plan, including the free one, with no per-user or per-coach fee. The gym owns its own Stripe account, which means the merchant relationship, the chargeback exposure, and the card tokens belong to the gym, not to us.

What is Wodify?

Wodify has been a leader in the functional fitness market for over a decade, and it earned that position. It started as workout tracking, which it still does very well, and grew into an all-in-one platform covering billing, scheduling, member management, performance tracking, websites, and now door access.

Its strengths are real. Its leaderboard and PR tracking are deeply loved by CrossFit members, some of whom have a decade of benchmark history in the system. Its customer support scores 9.5 on G2, identical to ours. Reviewers on Capterra rate it 4.5 out of 5 across 154 reviews and consistently praise the service team. It has expanded into martial arts, and it ships a self-service retail kiosk that lets members check themselves out.

The platform's problem isn't quality. It's that the company has made it structurally difficult to find out what it costs.

Why can't you find Wodify's real price?

Here is what Wodify's public pricing page shows as of September 2026. Three plans: Essentials, Accelerate, and Ultimate. One price: $199 per month per location, discounted to $99 under a limited-time promotion for anyone who books a demo. Seven add-ons: Performance Tracking, Custom Websites, Unlimited Automations, Branded App, 24/7 Access, Workout Marketplace, and Heart Rate Tracking. Zero add-on prices.

This matters more than it sounds. Performance tracking is the feature most CrossFit gyms are buying Wodify for in the first place. Wodify's own feature matrix marks it as a paid add-on on both Essentials and Accelerate, and includes it only on Ultimate. So a functional fitness gym has two routes: buy an add-on with no published price, or move to a plan with no published price. The advertised entry figure is not the number most of these gyms will pay. It's the number that gets them on a call.

The onboarding fee has the same shape. Wodify's page says "there is a small onboarding fee to get started." Small is not a number. You will find out what it is after you've invested an hour in a demo and started picturing your gym on the platform.

None of this is unusual for SaaS. It's just worth naming for what it is, which is a sales strategy, not a pricing page.

What does each platform actually cost per month?

The honest answer is that we can build this table for PushPress, and you can check every line of it on our pricing page, and we cannot build it for Wodify, because two of their three plan prices and all seven of their add-on prices are unpublished.

Here's ours, in full:

A 200-member CrossFit gym running Core Pro with the Train add-on pays $238 per month in software. That's a number you can check against your bank statement before you ever talk to a salesperson.

The equivalent Wodify configuration is Accelerate or Ultimate plus the Performance Tracking add-on. We can't tell you what that costs. Neither can Wodify's website.

The rate that actually matters is the one you can't compare

Software price is the number owners argue about. Processing is the number that quietly moves more money, and it's where the published comparison breaks down entirely.

Start with the fact that decides it: across PushPress gyms billing $5,000 or more a month, 91% of payment volume runs on cards. Not bank drafts. Cards. So the card rate, not the ACH rate, is what your processing bill is actually made of.

Here's the published card picture. PushPress charges 2.89% + $0.30 on Core Pro and 2.75% + $0.30 on Core Max. Wodify says "as low as 2.7% + 30¢." Their floor is slightly better than ours.

And that's where it stops, because "as low as" is not a rate, it's a floor on a claim. We know which plan that floor belongs to, because Wodify's Ultimate card lists "Our Lowest Processing Rates" as one of its features. Ultimate's price is not published. So the best card rate on the page is attached to the one plan whose cost you cannot look up.

You cannot put those two numbers side by side and get an answer. Neither can we. Neither, apparently, can Wodify's own pricing page.

So on the single biggest line item in gym payment processing, an honest comparison is impossible until you're on a sales call. That is the whole argument of this article, arriving in the place it costs you the most.

The ACH gap is real, and most gyms never collect it

Both platforms charge less for bank drafts than for cards. PushPress is 0.79% + $0.30 on Core Pro and Max; Wodify publishes "as low as" 1.5% + 30¢. On paper we're about half their floor.

On paper. We pulled our own numbers for August 2026, across 2,889 gyms billing $5,000 a month or more:

• 56% of those gyms processed zero ACH. Not a little. None.
• The median gym's ACH share of volume was 0%.
• Only 10% ran a quarter or more of their billing through ACH. Only 2.5% ran half or more.
• Platform-wide, ACH was 6.9% of volume, and it has sat between 6.7% and 7.0% every single month for the last year.

We're not going to pretend a rate advantage is a saving when our own data says most gyms never touch it. If you're in the 56%, the ACH line on either platform's rate card is worth exactly nothing to you.

It's worth something if you change that. (If you've never looked at how your dues actually get collected, our guide to gym billing software walks through the mechanics.) A gym doing $30,000 a month that moves even half its billing to bank draft saves roughly $105 a month against our own card rate, and more against a card rate it hasn't been quoted yet. That's real money sitting in a setting most owners have never opened.

So the useful version of this section isn't "we're cheaper on ACH." It's: go look at what share of your billing runs on cards, at whatever platform you're on. For about half of you the answer will be all of it, and that's the number worth fixing before you shop for software at all.

Who owns your payment account?

With PushPress, your gym has its own Stripe account. With Wodify, your gym is a sub-account under Wodify's Stripe account.

That distinction is invisible until the day it isn't. Owning the merchant account means the chargeback history, the payout schedule, and the fee transparency belong to you. It means you're not financially co-mingled with every other gym on the platform. And it means the stored card tokens for your members are portable: if you leave PushPress, your members' payment methods go with you, and nobody has to re-enter a card.

Ask any owner who has migrated platforms and had to get 200 members to re-enter payment details what that's worth.

Your staff get an app. On Wodify, they get a browser tab.

This is the part of the comparison that doesn't show up on a pricing page at all, and it's where the two platforms are least alike.

PushPress ships a dedicated Staff App — a native app built for coaches, admins, and owners rather than a coach-flavored view of the member app. Staff check people in, manage bookings and reservations, see who's on the floor, run retail, and message each other inside it. It is included with every Core plan, including Core Free, with no per-user and no per-coach fee. Add a fifth coach and your bill does not change.

Wodify does not have a staff app. Staff run Wodify Core in a mobile browser; Wodify's own documentation describes the layout adapting to your screen size, which is an accurate way of saying it's the web app on a phone. There's also Coach View inside the member app, which covers the class-side basics. Wodify's documentation for Coach View doesn't cover staff-to-staff messaging or retail.

The same split shows up on the member side. A PushPress member can hold or cancel their own membership from their app. Wodify's help center tells members to reach out to the business directly to do either. Every one of those is a task that lands on somebody at your front desk, and the difference between a platform where members handle it themselves and one where they text your head coach at 9pm is measured in your staff's hours, not in dollars on an invoice.

If you're comparing these two on packaging, this is the honest version of it: Grow, Train, and the Staff App are separate products and two of them are separate bills — but the Staff App isn't one of them, and all three do more than their Wodify counterparts, because in one case the counterpart doesn't exist.

If you're switching from Wodify

You are almost certainly not worried about features. You're worried about the 90 days and the member who has had a Murph time in that system since 2017.

That fear is legitimate, and it's the single most common reason long-tenured gyms stay put. Here's what's actually documented.

Payments. Both platforms run on Stripe, and a Stripe-to-Stripe migration moves your members' stored card tokens without anyone re-entering a card. The caveat worth knowing up front: this runs through a migration request form, and it depends on your current provider exporting the data in a Stripe-compatible format. Start that request early and get the confirmation in writing before you commit to a launch date.

Performance history. This one is solved, and it's more hands-on than most owners expect. You request a combined performance results file from Wodify's support team. Each member then imports their own CSV at train.pushpress.com, under My Workout History → Import Scores. It takes about thirty seconds per person. Two things determine whether it works: the file has to be a CSV, and any benchmark workouts need to be linked in PushPress before the upload, or scores won't attach to the right movement. Only the first 50 results display right away — the rest are in there, they just aren't on screen. The step-by-step walkthrough is in our help center.

What doesn't move. Retail product information and programming templates don't transfer; those get rebuilt. Ex-members and leads go into Grow separately rather than into your member list. The member list import needs, at minimum, first name, last name, and email.

The full breakdown of what moves and what doesn't lives on our PushPress vs Wodify comparison page. Ask for specifics on your data, and get the answer in writing.

The gyms that switch well tend to have a trigger: a relocation, an ownership change, a renewal date, or an inherited setup that was never configured properly. If you're mid-season with a working system and no complaint, there's no urgency here, and we're not going to invent one.

What changing platforms bought Greg Buck at CrossFit Arioch in Elgin, Illinois: 20% year-over-year revenue growth, membership from roughly 150 to over 200, and average retention from 15 months to 21. "It all would have been impossible with Wodify," he said. "I wouldn't have been able to make that switch without PushPress." His full numbers are in the CrossFit Arioch case study.

If you're opening a gym or shopping for the first time

Your problem is the opposite. You have no data to migrate and no habits to break. What you have is a pre-revenue business and a spreadsheet that doesn't balance yet.

Wodify's entry point is $199 per month per location — discounted to $99 for anyone who books a demo, under a limited-time promotion that was running when we published this — plus an unpublished onboarding fee, and performance tracking sits above that tier. PushPress Core Free is $0 per month with unlimited members and staff, the Staff App included, and no setup fee on Core plans. You pay the higher processing rate until you have enough volume that Core Pro's lower rates save you money, and then you upgrade because the math says to, not because a contract renewed.

For a gym that opens in three weeks with forty founding members, that difference is not philosophical. It's whether software is a fixed cost before you've collected your first dues.

Where Wodify is the better choice

Choose Wodify if your gym's identity is built on deep, years-deep performance tracking and your coaches live in the leaderboard daily. Wodify started as workout tracking and it is still the thing they do best.

Choose Wodify if having one product matters more to you than what each piece does. Their CRM unlocks with a higher plan tier; ours is a separate product with its own bill and its own price. Both sync to the Core platform, and ours does more.

The verdict

If you already know what Wodify costs you and you're happy, this article isn't an argument to switch. Plenty of gyms run Wodify well for a decade.

But if you're evaluating both right now, it comes down to this. You can price PushPress in ninety seconds from a public page. You cannot do that with Wodify, and that asymmetry doesn't end at the pricing page, it follows you into the billing relationship. Cards are 91% of gym payment volume, and on cards you cannot compare the two platforms at all, because Wodify's best rate sits on a plan whose price it won't print. And because you own your Stripe account and your members' card tokens with PushPress, the decision you make today isn't one you're locked into for ten years.

Wodify is a good platform with a pricing page designed to require a phone call. We'd rather just show you the number.

FAQ

Is PushPress cheaper than Wodify?

On published pricing, PushPress starts lower: Core Free is $0 per month with unlimited members and staff, while Wodify's entry Essentials plan lists at $199 per month per location, plus an unpublished onboarding fee. A limited-time end-of-quarter discount was running when we published this, bringing Essentials to $99 for gyms that book a demo. A full comparison at the mid and top tiers isn't possible, because Wodify does not publish prices for its Accelerate and Ultimate plans or for any of its seven add-ons. On processing, cards carry about 91% of gym payment volume, and there the comparison cannot be completed: Wodify's published floor of 2.7% is slightly lower than PushPress's 2.75% on Core Max, but that floor sits on a plan whose price Wodify does not publish. PushPress's ACH rate of 0.79% + $0.30 is roughly half Wodify's published 1.5% floor, though PushPress data shows 56% of gyms process no ACH at all. In the personal training and small-group segment, PushPress does not reliably undercut Wodify, so get quotes from both.

How much does Wodify cost per month?

As of September 16, 2026, Wodify publishes one figure, in a banner above its plans: $199 per month per location for the entry Essentials tier, discounted to $99 for gyms that book a demo under a limited-time promotion. The three plan cards themselves show no prices, so the Accelerate and Ultimate tiers have no published cost. None of Wodify's seven add-ons (Performance Tracking, Custom Websites, Unlimited Automations, Branded App, 24/7 Access, Workout Marketplace, Heart Rate Tracking) have listed prices; the feature matrix marks each simply as "Add-on." Wodify's page also references "a small onboarding fee" without stating the amount. Because performance tracking is an add-on on Essentials and Accelerate and is included only on Ultimate, most CrossFit and functional fitness gyms will pay more than the advertised entry price. To get an accurate total, request a written quote that itemizes the plan, every add-on, the onboarding fee, and your specific card and ACH processing rates.

Does Wodify have a staff app?

Not a dedicated one. Wodify staff run Wodify Core in a mobile browser — Wodify's documentation describes the layout adapting to your screen size — and there is a Coach View inside the member app that covers class-side basics like check-ins and attendance. Wodify's Coach View documentation does not cover staff-to-staff messaging or retail. PushPress ships a separate native Staff App for coaches, admins, and owners, covering check-in, bookings and reservations, retail, and internal messaging. It is included with every PushPress Core plan, including the free tier, with no per-user or per-coach fee.

Does PushPress have a free plan?

Yes. PushPress Core Free costs $0 per month with no setup fee on Core plans and includes unlimited members, staff, and leads, plus scheduling, billing, class booking, waivers, appointments, basic workout programming, and the Staff App. The tradeoff is processing rates: Core Free is 4.99% + $0.30 on credit cards and 2.89% + $0.30 on ACH, compared with 2.89% + $0.30 and 0.79% + $0.30 on Core Pro at $159 per month. Most gyms upgrade once their billing volume makes the lower processing rates cheaper than the subscription. Wodify does not offer a free plan.

Can I move my member payment data from Wodify to PushPress?

Yes, in most cases. Both platforms process payments through Stripe, which allows a Stripe-to-Stripe migration of stored card tokens, so your members do not have to re-enter their payment details — the step most likely to cause cancellations during a platform switch. Two caveats: the migration runs through a request form rather than a button, and it depends on your current provider exporting the data in a Stripe-compatible format, so start the request early and get confirmation in writing before you set a launch date. The structural difference is account ownership: PushPress gyms hold their own Stripe account, while Wodify gyms operate as a sub-account under Wodify. Because you own the account with PushPress, your member payment tokens remain portable if you ever leave.

Can I bring my members' workout and PR history from Wodify?

Yes, and the process is documented. You request a combined performance results file from Wodify's support team, and each member imports their own CSV at train.pushpress.com under My Workout History → Import Scores, which takes about thirty seconds per person. The file must be a CSV, and any benchmark workouts need to be linked in PushPress before the upload so scores attach to the correct movement. Only the first 50 results display immediately; the rest are imported but not shown on the initial screen. Retail product information and programming templates do not transfer and are rebuilt in PushPress. Ex-members and leads are imported into Grow separately from the active member list.

Is Wodify's customer support better than PushPress's?

They rate the same. On G2 as of September 2026, both PushPress and Wodify score 9.5 out of 10 for quality of support. PushPress rates higher on ease of use (9.3 versus 8.8), ease of setup (9.1 versus 8.9), and meets requirements (9.1 versus 9.0), and holds a 4.8-star overall rating across 197 reviews to Wodify's 4.7 stars across 204 reviews. Wodify reviewers on Capterra frequently name the support team as a top strength. Support quality is not a meaningful differentiator between these two platforms, and any comparison that claims otherwise should be treated with suspicion.
