The short version

  • Only Google Home has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ABC Fitness split across separate products by business type, so ABC Ignite, Glofox, Trainerize and Evo are different systems rather than tiers of one; Google Home web version (home.google.com) has limited controls compared to the mobile app
  • They diverge on capability: ABC Fitness covers Payment processing, Google Home covers Google Assistant.

  • ABC Evo is sold for Latin American markets rather than globally
  • GymSales and XLerate are separate products on top of the core management system

Google Home

  • Web version (home.google.com) has limited controls compared to the mobile app
  • Battery-camera live streams on the web app auto-stop after 5 minutes
  • Requires compatible Google/Nest or third-party smart-home hardware - it is a control app, not a standalone product
