Comparison
An honest comparison for boutique studios in Switzerland. avoo is the Swiss all-in-one alternative: built for CHF, TWINT and the local day-to-day, transparently priced and self-serve.

vs. Eversports
Eversports runs a consumer marketplace that can bring in new customers, and for that a referral fee applies: 25% on the first booking of customers newly acquired via the marketplace (capped at ~€75 per customer), free after that. Plus a tiered annual base fee + one-off onboarding. avoo: flat monthly price, 0% commission, cancel monthly.
vs. bsport
bsport’s strength is marketplace integrations (ClassPass, Urban Sports Club, Gymlib, OneFit) and AI tools that bring in new customers. avoo instead puts everything in one platform at a transparent flat price: no booking commission, cancel monthly.
vs. Mindbody / ABC
Typical there: tiered plans ~USD 99 up to 499 to 699/mo. per location, plus payment fees, a branded app as a paid extra (~USD 75 to 250/mo.) and a marketplace commission on newly referred clients (20%, capped ~$30). With avoo it’s all in one software, at a flat monthly price, 0% commission, cancel monthly.
vs. Magicline
Magicline is strong for large fitness studios & chains: access control, hardware, multi-year contracts (customers like McFIT or clever fit). avoo grows with you from a single studio to multiple locations with several rooms each, without enterprise overhead and without a multi-year lock-in: simple, fair, cancel monthly. Start small, scale up: welcome, not an enterprise account.
avoo
avoo grows with you: from the small single studio in Switzerland just starting out to a group with multiple locations and several rooms per location (yoga, pilates, fitness, wellness, beauty). No IT team and no sales call needed: up and running yourself in minutes, a fair flat price, cancel monthly. The small studio is just as welcome as the multi-location operation: both get the same simple, complete platform.
For international chains with many locations, franchise structures or very specialised enterprise needs, a larger system may have advantages. We’d rather be honest about where we shine.
