Where Gatherly fits

Gatherly brings class scheduling, booking, payments, student self check-in, attendance, student records, packs, memberships, waivers, intake questions, booking confirmations, broadcast email and revenue reporting together in a phone-first studio tool.

Gatherly’s focus is the work around teaching: see who is booked, who has paid and who has arrived from your phone. This is a fit statement, not a claim that another product cannot support those tasks.

What Punchpass publicly lists

Punchpass lists Grow at $59 per month with unlimited classes, passes and instructors, plus waivers and waiting lists. Flow is $99 per month and adds recurring memberships, series and family accounts. Pro is $149 per month and adds custom intake. These are listed monthly plan prices, not a calculation of all possible payment-related costs.

Compare the whole bill

The business subscription is $1 USD per billable calendar day, plus a 1% Gatherly fee on card payments and recorded offline payments. The studio bears the Gatherly fee. A full 30-day billable month costs $30 before payment fees; a full 31-day billable month costs $31.

First 3 months on us means the signup calendar month plus the next two calendar months are subscription-free. It is not a rolling 90-day trial. The offer covers the business subscription, not a waiver of transaction fees.

Compare subscription charges, payment-related charges, required add-ons and contract terms for your actual workflow. Gatherly’s percentage fee means a lower base subscription does not establish a lower total cost at every payment volume.

Choose Punchpass if…

Choose Punchpass if family accounts, series enrollment or its content-library workflow matter to your studio. Check which plan contains each required feature and how payment processing is charged.

Choose Gatherly if…

Choose Gatherly if your priority is connected class booking, payment, self check-in and student records for a small teaching business, managed from your phone. Confirm any specialist requirement before moving your records or committing to a plan.
