Gymcatch vs Clinch: cheap and DIY, or done for you?
Gymcatch is good value, and lots of UK PTs and instructors love it. If you want the cheapest DIY option with an app, it’s hard to beat. Here’s where it fits, where Clinch fits, and how to choose.
Gymcatch in a nutshell
From £10 + VAT a month, with a free first month (October 2026).
Unlimited bookings, customers and team members.
Client apps for web, iPhone and Android.
Passes, bundles and automated waiting lists included.
Extras like discount codes, memberships and website integration are £2 + VAT each per month as bolt-ons.
No contract.
Where Gymcatch wins
Price. Hard to argue with £10 a month.
Passes, bundles and memberships. If you sell class packs, Gymcatch does it. Clinch doesn’t yet.
A client app. Your clients can download an app to book.
Where Clinch wins
Done for you. Send us your timetable, coaches and prices. We set it up.
Your brand, not an app’s. Clients book on a page with your logo and colours.
Deposits on 1-to-1s. Lock in PT sessions and privates.
Phone support from a UK agency. On the Gym plan and up, you can actually ring us.
Own it outright. When you’re ready, buy the system and move it onto your own website.

So which one?
Pick Gymcatch if you want the cheapest monthly price, you’re happy setting it up yourself, and you sell class passes or memberships.
Pick Clinch if you want it set up for you, you want clients booking with your brand rather than an app, and you’d rather own your system one day than rent it forever.
