Class booking for yoga, Pilates and fitness studios. Clubsmith is enrolment, term fees and per-meeting attendance for clubs, tutors and activity providers. Here is how the two compare, including where Punchpass is the better choice.
It is built for a studio: class passes, memberships, retail and a waitlist flow that a gym expects.
Best for: A fitness or yoga studio selling passes and drop-in classes.
It models what a club actually is: a term with weekly meetings, children linked to the guardians who pay for them, and bank transfer alongside card.
Best for: A club or tutor running terms, with families and a weekly register.

No, and neither does Clubsmith. Both leave you on your own payment processor. The difference is what each is built for: Punchpass is a studio; Clubsmith is a club.
Clubsmith. Punchpass has no concept of a child with a guardian, so you would be recording every parent as the customer. Clubsmith keeps the child as the member and the parent as the payer.
Clubsmith's paid plans start below Punchpass's, and both are flat — neither takes a percentage.
You can schedule recurring classes, but the register is per class rather than per term meeting, and there is no invoice-per-enrolment flow. Clubsmith is built around the term.
