# Trainera vs bsport: a neutral comparison for boutique studios (2026) > bsport sells its five tiers on a quote, while Trainera publishes prices per country with no per-member fee. This neutral comparison covers what each does well, what each pricing model means and which boutique studio each one suits. *Author: Trainera Team | Published: 2026-09-25 | Reading time: 7 min* ## Trainera vs bsport: the short answer bsport is booking and management software built for European boutique studios (Pilates, yoga, cycling), sold in five tiers (Start, Build, Engage, Elevate, Scale) that are all quote-based. Trainera is gym and studio management software with two plans at a public price set per country, Core and White Label, with no per-member fee, and it adds coaching, training and nutrition plans and a member app. If you want a studio-specialist tool and are happy with a negotiated price, bsport is a sensible pick; if you want to know the price up front and run coaching in the same tool, Trainera is worth a trial. 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](/blogs/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 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. | Plan | Monthly price | What is included (per the pricing page) | | ------------------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | bsport Start | Price on request | Unlimited bookings | | bsport Build | Price on request | Middle tier | | bsport Engage | Price on request | Member app in the studio's brand | | bsport Elevate | Price on request | Audience marketing, spot selection in class (Choose Your Spot) | | bsport Scale | Custom quote | Multi-location and franchises, branded app | | Trainera Gym Core | $149 | Dashboard, memberships, QR and turnstile check-in, scheduling, CRM, website; members use the Trainera app in your colours | | Trainera Gym White Label | $299 | Everything in Core, plus your own iOS and Android app under your name | _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 139.99 EUR and White Label 279.99 EUR, and other countries have their own prices on the pricing page._ 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](https://www.bsport.io/pricing). 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.

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. | Need | bsport | Trainera | | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Class booking | Unlimited bookings from Start | Classes, small groups, open gym and PT in one planner, recurring series, capacity and rosters, booking two weeks ahead from the phone | | Spot selection in class | Yes, from Elevate | Not offered in the published plans | | Member app in your brand | From Engage | Core: Trainera app in your colours and logo; White Label: your own native app in the stores | | Marketing | Audience marketing from Elevate | Leads CRM with a 7-stage pipeline and reminders, push broadcasts to members | | Several studios | Scale tier (multi-location, franchise) | Not detailed in the public plans; Enterprise is quoted | | Training and nutrition plans, AI | Not detailed | Plans from your coaches, AI drafts they approve, AI switched on per membership package | | Payments | Fees not published | Card through your own Stripe account at 0% platform fee, PayPal, cash, bank transfer | | Access control | Not detailed | QR card, turnstiles and scanners via the check-in API (up to 10 devices on Core) | | Languages | Website in English, French, Dutch, German, Spanish | App in 26 languages | For booking in depth, see our guide to [gym booking software](/blogs/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. * **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 1,800+ exercises and 1,100+ 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 26 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](/blogs/gym-software-with-branded-member-app) covers what to check. ## 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.

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. _To see what Trainera covers for a studio, visit [Trainera for gyms and studios](/for-gyms) or [start the 7-day Core trial](/auth/register?role=gym)._ ## Related reading * [Fitness software pricing index 2026](/blogs/fitness-software-pricing-index-2026) * [How we compare fitness software](/blogs/how-we-compare-fitness-software) * [Trainera vs Mindbody: Honest 2026 Comparison](/blogs/trainera-vs-mindbody-comparison) * [Best Mindbody Alternatives (2026)](/blogs/best-mindbody-alternatives) * [White-Label Gym App: Your Gym's Own Branded Member App](/blogs/white-label-gym-app) ## FAQ ### How much does bsport cost? bsport does not publish its prices: its five tiers, Start, Build, Engage, Elevate and Scale, are all quote-based. The figure usually depends on the tier, the number of locations and the modules you choose. According to its pricing page there is no standard free trial or free version, but new studios may get a free initial period and progressive pricing. Ask for a written quote to compare. ### What is a bsport alternative with public prices? Trainera publishes its gym and studio prices per country. In the US, Core costs $149 a month and White Label $299; in Germany and the western eurozone they cost 139.99 EUR and 279.99 EUR. Both include unlimited members with no per-member or setup fee, and Core starts with a 7-day trial. Other countries have their own prices on the Trainera pricing page. ### bsport or Trainera for a reformer Pilates studio? If members need to choose their machine or spot when booking, bsport lists this feature (Choose Your Spot) on its Elevate tier, while it is not in Trainera's published plans. If your studio also sells training plans, nutrition plans or one-to-one follow-up from your coaches, Trainera brings those together with booking in the same app. ### Does Trainera offer an app in the studio's brand? Yes, in two ways. On Core, members use the Trainera app in your colours and with your logo. On White Label, you get your own native iOS and Android app under the studio's name, published by Trainera to the App Store and Google Play, with push notifications sent under your brand. At bsport, the branded app is included from the Engage tier. ### Can I move from bsport to Trainera without retyping members? Yes. Trainera imports members, membership packages, expiry dates, trainers and plans for free from an export, for example an Excel file. You can trial Core for 7 days with one recurring class and a few members before switching, and keep your current tool running until the migration is finished. --- Source: https://trainera.fit/blogs/trainera-vs-bsport-boutique-studios
