We checked the Glofox plans page and the quote form on 13 November 2026. Glofox last modified the plans page on 11 November 2026. Seat figures below come from quoteSeats in our pricing code, run the same day. Review sites print their own tier prices. This article uses the plans page.
The two official pages
The plans page shows three cards. The quote form asks for business type, locations, details and a pricing step, and it shows no dollar amount. A search that lands on the form still has a published card one page away.
The cards mark the amounts as USD. The page lists no price in another currency, and a missing local price falls back to USD. The cards show no tax line.
The three published plans
Glofox labels Boost "Most popular".
Essential is $275 a month. Under that price, the card says new studios pay $99 a month for the first year. Glofox does not define new studio on the page, and the card does not print the rate for month 13. A year at $99 is $99 × 12 = $1,188. A year at the $275 card, if you pay each month, is $275 × 12 = $3,300. Those are two lines on the same card.
Essential lists booking and scheduling, member management, payment processing, payroll, no-show and cancellation fees, e-agreements, reporting, the ABC Glofox mobile app and the staff app.
Boost is $375 a month. A year at that card, paid each month, is $375 × 12 = $4,500. Boost includes Essential, plus lead capture, task management, community content, a store for retail products, a churn predictor, advanced reporting and targeted communication. The card prints no $99 line.
Elite is $625 a month. A year at that card, paid each month, is $625 × 12 = $7,500. Elite includes Boost, plus extra reporting in the staff app, Zapier, bulk multi-location configuration and API access.
Glofox says you can pay month by month or for a year, with no multi-year commitment. The plans page prints no annual price and no discount percent. The twelve-month totals above count twelve payments at the card price. Glofox publishes no annual contract price.

The comparison table on the same page writes SMS as 100 p/m, 250 p/m and 1000 p/m. The FAQ calls that the plan's included limit. Glofox bills SMS past the limit on top of the subscription, and the page prints no overage rate.
ClassPass integration and spot scheduling sit on every published plan. Personal training appointments sit on every published plan too. That line is studio booking.
A second location is a quote
The cards do not label $275, $375 or $625 as a per-location fee, a per-member fee or a per-staff fee. The quote form asks how many locations you run. The plans FAQ says you can add a location, and it sends a studio group to a demo for location pricing. We do not turn a location into a seat count.
Fees the cards leave off
The Essential card lists payment processing among the tools. The FAQ on the same page says Glofox bills payment processing fees on top of the subscription. The plans page prints no card rate. The plans page also prints no onboarding fee, no implementation fee and no add-on price. Ask sales what the quote adds.
Every comparison below leaves standard card fees out of every column. Read the sums as software bills.
The branded app, ABC XLerate and ABC Insights carry no dollar amount on Essential or Boost. Elite includes the branded app and XLerate. Insights stays an add-on on Elite.
The branded app
On the shared ABC Glofox member app, a signed-in member sees your studio and no other gym. A custom branded app puts your name and logo in the App Store and Google Play, so clients install your listing. A store listing puts the studio name where people search, and the icon on the phone is the studio's.
Before this platform, we published over 10,000 white-label coaching apps to the App Store and Google Play.
Kahunas branding is a logo and colour on the client app, a kahunas.app address you choose, and email from your own domain. That starts at 200 seats, $200 a month (200 × $1). A 5-seat plan excludes it. The client app has no store listing. Read the branded app page and the white-label fitness app guide.
Same ABC family, different product
ABC Fitness Solutions acquired Glofox in August 2022. Glofox's article on that acquisition lists ABC Glofox as the studio product and ABC Trainerize as the sibling for personal training and coaching. The plans page copyright line names ABC Fitness Solutions, LLC.
Glofox sells class booking, memberships, a front desk and locations. Trainerize sells coaching client seats. A coach who writes plans for a named roster is pricing a different product. Read Trainerize pricing for that bill. A studio comparing location software can also read Mindbody pricing.
A studio bill next to a seat quote
Disclosure: Kahunas is our product. The Kahunas column is Kahunas tier-gated seat pricing.
Standard card processing fees sit outside both columns. Glofox prints no card rate, and Kahunas takes 0% commission on package sales. Stripe or PayPal charge their usual fees on the Kahunas side. The table adds neither fee.
Glofox publishes a plan card. Kahunas bills per seat. A seat is an active client or a non-archived team member. Kahunas leaves the owner off that count. The minimum is 3 seats. We ran quoteSeats on 13 November 2026.
| Roster | Glofox published card | Kahunas tier-gated seat pricing |
|---|---|---|
| 1 or 2 clients | Essential is $275 a month. $275 × 12 = $3,300 if you pay each month. Glofox publishes no annual rate. The card does not call this a per-seat price. | 3 seats. One and two clients meet the 3-seat minimum. $5 × 3 = $15 a month, $180 a year if you pay each month. Annual billing is 20% off: $12 a month, charged as $144 a year. Excludes recipes, automations, leads, team tools, education, challenges, communities and branding. |
| 5 clients | The same Essential card, $275 a month. Glofox prices the plan, not this roster. | 5 × $5 = $25 a month, $300 a year if you pay each month. Annual billing: $20 a month, $240 a year. Same exclusions as the 3-seat row. Branding starts at 200 seats, $200 a month. |
You buy different software in each column. The Essential card covers class booking, memberships, payroll and a member app for the plan Glofox names. The Kahunas $15 and $25 quotes cover workout plans, nutrition plans, check-ins, habits, messaging and package payments for that seat count. A class timetable and a seat count measure different things. We do not convert locations into seats, or class bookings into clients.
At the Essential card, $275 sits $260 above the 3-seat quote ($275 minus $15 = $260) and $250 above the 5-seat quote ($275 minus $25 = $250). Over 12 months of paying each month, those gaps are $3,300 minus $180 = $3,120 and $3,300 minus $300 = $3,000. Treat each gap as a difference between two bills. You do not pocket that gap by moving a class roster onto seat software. Boost, Elite, a second location, or an unpublished add-on can move the Glofox invoice. The public page prices the three cards and the $99 line, and leaves those other moves unpriced.
At 13 clients, Kahunas bills 25 seats at $62.50 a month, because 25 × $2.50 = $62.50 and 13 × $5 = $65. We do not quote a ceiling for a range. From 3 seats the price is $15 a month. 25 seats cost $62.50 a month. 50 seats cost $100 a month (50 × $2). 100 seats cost $150 a month (100 × $1.50).
Kahunas counts each non-archived team member as a seat, and team tools start at 50 seats ($100 a month). The Glofox cards do not price a staff login. A solo coach with no staff pays no team-seat line on Kahunas.
Limits on the Kahunas side
Glofox runs the studio day. You publish a class schedule, sell memberships and packs, take a drop-in at the desk, and check members in. Spot scheduling sits on every published plan. Elite adds bulk setup across locations.
Kahunas sells a different product, and these limits are ours:
- Our calendar lets a client request a session inside the hours you set. It has no public class timetable and no spot booking for a class.
- Our payments sell coaching packages through your own Stripe or PayPal account. Kahunas takes 0% commission. Those packages have no studio till and no class-pack checkout.
- We do not list you on a consumer class marketplace.
- Recipes, automations and leads start at 25 seats ($62.50 a month).
- Team tools start at 50 seats ($100 a month). Education, challenges and communities start at 100 seats ($150 a month, 100 × $1.50).
- Logo and colour on the client app start at 200 seats ($200 a month). The client app has no store listing.
A studio that needs the class schedule and the front desk keeps a location product for that job. A coach who writes training plans for a named roster uses a per-seat platform for that job. Some studios want both jobs. A studio that wants both buys both products.
Kahunas offers a 14-day trial on the plan you choose. Stripe takes a card at sign-up and charges nothing until the trial ends. A 3-month money-back guarantee covers the paid plan after the trial. Glofox publishes no trial length on the plans page. Glofox sends you to a demo, and that demo asks for no card.
