Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Daxko

Nothing is published: pricing, contract length and processing rates are all quoted, so a board approving the spend cannot benchmark it against a list price or a peer without asking other associations directly.
Daxko holds both the member database and the payment processing, so switching means moving the draft billing relationship for thousands of members, which realistically makes migration a year-long project rather than a quarter.
The interface is functional but dated and front desk staff turnover is high in this sector, so training is a permanent operating cost rather than a one-off.
Reporting is oriented to finance and membership counts rather than programme outcomes, so organisations reporting impact to funders build separate analysis.
It is built for the North American membership nonprofit model, so leisure trusts and community organisations outside that structure find the membership and assistance concepts a poor fit.

FitNotes

Android only, no iOS version despite requests from users
Limited community features compared to social fitness trackers

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

It is not published. Expect an enterprise quote driven by branches, members and modules, a multi-year term, separately priced implementation, and payment processing on top.

FitNotes: Is FitNotes free and does it have ads?

Daxko: Why do YMCAs use it rather than gym software?

Because of financial assistance scales, household memberships and programme credits. Commercial gym systems generally cannot model a sliding-scale membership correctly.

FitNotes: Does FitNotes work offline?

Yes, FitNotes works completely offline and requires no internet connection or account sign-up to use.

Source

Daxko: How hard is it to leave?

Hard. Daxko processes the member drafts as well as holding the records, so migration means re-establishing payment authority with every drafting member.

FitNotes: What platform is FitNotes available on?

FitNotes is Android only and is not available on iOS or other platforms.

Source

Daxko: Is there a smaller product for a single site?

Daxko sells to independent community centres as well as associations, but the pricing model and implementation effort still assume an organisation with dedicated administrative staff.
