The SportsNow alternative for Swiss studios

With avoo you run your whole studio on one platform: bookings and passes, a member app in your look, your own website with a page builder, shop and reception till, marketing that runs by itself.

Like SportsNow, a Swiss provider, in francs and with TWINT. The difference is the price: with avoo everything is included in one fixed amount, instead of spread across packages and add-on modules.

What you run with avoo

One platform for the whole studio day. Every feature in detail is on the Features page.

Instructor pool

Open classes without a fixed instructor go into a pool: available instructors see them instantly and pick them up themselves. No more WhatsApp hunt for cover.

Fully integrated studio website

Your own branded website with a section builder (hero, classes, schedule, team, passes, shop, FAQ, contact), booking built right in, no second website tool.

Your own app: included, no store needed

A fully branded member app from day one: add it to the home screen via a link, every feature included, updates itself, works offline: no store download, no waiting for app review. Optionally a real listing in the App Store & Play Store under your own account: then the app belongs to you, not us, not a half-finished template app under someone else’s roof.

Digital signage

TV or tablet displays for reception and entrance: schedule, upcoming classes, workshop promo. Pair a screen via QR; the screen itself needs no login.

TakeAway

Pre-order snacks & drinks before or after training, pick up and pay at reception, including add-ons per item.

POS / combined sale

Point of sale at reception: passes, shop items, TakeAway and vouchers on one invoice and one payment.

Automatic instructor payroll

Instructor pay per activity, appointment or workshop, calculated automatically from classes held and attendance.

No booking commission

A fixed monthly price instead of a percentage per booking. You pay the transaction fees directly to your payment provider.

Marketing automation (journeys)

Multi-step automated flows: welcome series, win-back of inactive members, pass expiry, abandoned-cart reminder, birthday. Ready-made templates, runs by itself.

Lead funnel / mini-CRM

Move prospects from first enquiry to membership (pipeline), with 1-click conversion and a conversion rate.

What SportsNow costs, and what avoo costs

SportsNow tiers its price by feature level: the higher the package, the more features. Add-on modules cost extra, on top of the package.

How far that goes, SportsNow shows itself: even VAT handling is an add-on module (CHF 35 a month, from Premium MAX).

avoo has one price, and everything is included in it.

The SportsNow packages

FREECHF 0 / MonatBasic functions for running the studio
Premium BASICCHF 40 / MonatMember management, online payments, website embedding
Premium MAXCHF 90 / Monatplus automation, holiday management, training tools
Premium MAX PROCHF 150 / Monatplus team management, payroll, till
Premium ENTERPRISECHF 230 / Monatplus access and check-in, multiple locations

Add-on modules cost CHF 20 to 55 a month each, on top of the chosen package.

The avoo price

avoo costs CHF 45 a month plus VAT, one location, and it includes what SportsNow spreads across packages and add-on modules: bookings and passes, member app, own website, reception till, marketing.

Do the maths for your studio: take the package that covers your features, and add the modules you need. A higher package, or two or three modules, already go beyond the CHF 45 that at avoo covers everything.

SportsNow states its prices with no mention of VAT. avoo prices are exclusive of VAT.
