Where each one falls short

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

Phorest

  • No price is published for any of the seven plans, and every route ends at a quote request
  • There is no free trial at all, which the company states plainly
  • The product is described as suited to 3 or more staff, so a solo operator is outside the intended range
  • The branded booking app requires the Ultimate plan, and two way SMS, memberships, lead management and the ads manager are all Elite only

Wodify

  • Pricing is per location, advertised at $99 per month against a $199 per month list price
  • The discounted rate is tied to booking a demo by a stated deadline
  • SMS messaging is only available in the US and Canada
