Trainera vs bsport: a neutral comparison for boutique studios (2026)

Trainera vs bsport: the short answer

bsport is booking and management software for European boutique studios, sold in five quote-based tiers. Trainera is gym and studio management software with public pricing per country, no per-member fee, plus coaching and nutrition built in. Pick bsport for a studio specialist with a negotiated price; pick Trainera for upfront pricing with coaching included.

This page compares the two neutrally, using bsport's public pricing page and the facts Trainera publishes. We did not estimate or guess any bsport price. Our method is set out in how we compare fitness software.

Two tools, two approaches

bsport starts from the studio and its class timetable; Trainera starts from the gym and connects management with one-to-one coaching. Both cover booking and a member app, but with different business models.

• Quote-based pricing: the price is not shown; the vendor works it out after a sales conversation, based on your studio. Every bsport tier works this way.
• Public price per country: the price is on the website and the same for every customer in that country. This is how Trainera's gym plans (Core and White Label) work.
• White-label app: a native app published under your studio's name on the App Store and Google Play, not under the vendor's name.
• Check-in API: an interface that connects a turnstile or scanner to the software so every entry is checked.

bsport pricing and Trainera pricing

bsport publishes no prices: every tier says "Get a quote". Trainera publishes its prices per country, with unlimited members and no per-member or setup fee.

Prices checked on 25 September 2026 from each vendor's pricing page. Trainera prices are the US prices; in Germany and the western eurozone Core is 109 EUR and White Label 199 EUR, and other countries have their own prices on the pricing page. With yearly billing, Core costs 1,090 EUR and White Label 1,990 EUR a year (two months free).

A bsport quote usually depends on the tier, the number of locations and the modules you want; quote-based vendors also tend to factor in studio size. According to its page, bsport has no standard free trial and no free version, but new studios may get a free initial period and progressive pricing. Check for yourself on the bsport pricing page. At Trainera, Core starts with a 7-day trial and can be picked self-serve; there is no free plan for gyms, and White Label is arranged on a call.

Features for a boutique studio

For a Pilates or yoga studio, booking, the member app and payments matter most. For bsport, the table only lists what its pricing page states; "not detailed" means the page does not say, not that the feature is missing.

For booking in depth, see our guide to gym booking software.

What bsport does well

bsport is built for boutique studios and it shows in its tiers. It speaks the language of group-class studios.

• A studio-first product: the page clearly targets Pilates, yoga and cycling studios, with a clear path from Start to Scale.
• Spot selection: on Elevate, members can choose their spot, which matters in a reformer or cycling class where every station counts.
• A tier for networks: Scale is aimed at multi-location studios and franchises.
• A European footprint: a website in five languages and a sales team that can adapt the price for studios that are just starting.

What Trainera does well

Trainera combines running the studio with following each member, at published prices. That helps if your coaches also sell one-to-one coaching or plans.

Every Trainera gym plan (Core, White Label and Enterprise) also includes courses: build video lessons with quizzes and certificates, follow each member's progress, and assign or sell courses to your members or include them in a membership package. Most gym software we checked in October 2026 stops at an on-demand video library. The members-only community feed is included on every plan, with challenges and leaderboards on Enterprise or with the Community Plus add-on. Automations are included on Enterprise, or as the Automations add-on on Core and White Label.

• A price you know up front: Core and White Label have a public price per country, unlimited members, no per-member or setup fee, billed monthly.
• Coaching built in: every coach has a login, their members, plans and messages; members log workouts, meals and progress (measurements, photos, records).
• AI per package: for example, you switch on AI food scanning and plan drafts for the premium membership only; drafts come from a library of 1,700+ exercises and 1,500+ recipes and your coaches approve them.
• Payments into your account: card through your own Stripe account at 0% platform fee, plus cash recorded at the desk and a ledger with CSV export.
• Multilingual: the app works in 28 languages, handy for an international clientele in London, Amsterdam or Dubai.

On the member app, our article on gym software with a branded member app covers what to check.

For studios with an unstaffed door, Trainera also arranges the entrance: an electric strike or magnetic lock on the existing door with a wall QR reader, or a turnstile where traffic is higher. Members hold their QR card to the reader, and Trainera answers allow or deny on every scan, refusing expired memberships and used-up monthly entry limits. More on the turnstiles and door access page.

Which tool for which studio?

The right choice depends mostly on your model: a pure group-class studio, or a studio that also sells coaching. Here is an honest read.

bsport is the right choice if

• you run a reformer Pilates, cycling or yoga studio where choosing a spot in class is central;
• you are opening several studios or a franchise and want a dedicated tier;
• you prefer a negotiated price, possibly progressive while you launch.

Trainera is the right choice if

• you want to know the price before any sales call, with no per-member fee;
• your coaches sell training plans, nutrition plans or one-to-one follow-up on top of classes;
• you want card payments into your own Stripe account and cash handled too;
• your members speak many different languages.

Trainera is not the right fit if

• members must be able to pick their spot: this is not in Trainera's published plans;
• you want a free plan for a gym: Trainera has none, only a 7-day trial on Core;
• you want a dedicated audience-marketing tool for the studio rather than a leads CRM.

How to decide for your studio

Compare the two on your own numbers, not on averages. Three steps are enough.

1. Ask bsport for a written quote stating the tier, number of locations, number of active members and the modules you need, then note the monthly and yearly price and the payment fees.
2. Trial Trainera Core for 7 days with a real recurring class, a few members and a test payment through your Stripe account.
3. Cost the migration: Trainera imports members, packages, expiry dates, trainers and plans for free from an export, for example an Excel file.

A 200-member studio can then set a bsport quote against the Core price shown for its country, on the same members and features.
