Where Glofox falls short

3 things studios complain about.

Pain 1

Innovation slowed after the ABC acquisition

Glofox was acquired by ABC Fitness in 2022. The product roadmap froze for 18 months. Customer reviews on G2 since 2023 trend negative.

Pain 2

No AI, no automation, no modern marketing

Email is basic. No drip sequences with event triggers. No AI copy. No churn-risk scoring. No win-back automation.

Pain 3

Branded app is an extra $100-200/month

You're already paying $200+ for the platform. The branded app — the thing your members actually touch every day — is a separate add-on.

How KOLLABO OS fixes it

What you get when you switch.

0% transaction-fee markup

Stripe Connect-direct. You keep 100% of card revenue minus Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢. We make money on subscriptions, not by skimming your processing — that's $9-14k/year saved on a $40k/mo studio vs Glofox's 2.5%.

Branded client app included on Growth ($199/mo)

Your logo, your colours, your studio name — bundled in at $199/mo. Glofox charges $100-200/mo on top for the same thing. Pro ($399/mo) gives you a fully custom native iOS + Android app published under your name.

Spot Filler — auto-fills empty class slots

When a class has empty spots 24h before start, Spot Filler automatically pings the clients who usually attend that time. Included on Growth+. Recovers 5-15% of would-be empty seats.

Try before you commit — preview mode + 14-day free trial

What switching looks like

Migration done by us. Not you.

Glofox export is by request to their support team (24-48h). We can pull customers, classes, memberships, and recurring schedules. Migration: ~3 hours. We run both platforms in parallel for the first week so members don't see any disruption.

To be fair to Glofox

Glofox has strong UK + Ireland market share. If most of your customers discover you via Glofox's app or word-of-mouth in their network, factor that in.
