iBooking, whose member product is branded Membro, is a Norwegian system for gyms and fitness centres, with a complete member registry, group-class management and resource booking. It is quote-only and modular, with no published prices as of July 2026, its UI is Norwegian, and it leans on Avtalegiro, the Norwegian direct-debit rail. Class Booking is publicly priced, multilingual, and built for class-based studios.
Why studios switch
Studios rarely leave iBooking over one missing feature. The reasons we hear are cumulative: a bill that grows faster than the studio does, a system shaped for operators much bigger than an independent studio, and support that turns slow exactly when bookings are on the line. Class Booking is deliberately built for the studios those trade-offs squeeze hardest.
iBooking is quote-only and priced by module, with no published prices as of July 2026. Class Booking shows Basic, Pro and Studio on a public page, the same for everyone, so you know the cost up front.
iBooking is built for gyms and fitness centres, not specifically for yoga or pilates. Class Booking is studio-first: group classes, memberships, seasons and fixed spots are the core, not an add-on to a gym system.
iBooking's UI is Norwegian and its preferred payment method is Avtalegiro, the Norwegian direct-debit scheme. If your members are outside Norway, that is a constraint. Class Booking runs in six languages on your own Stripe account.
A member keeps the same weekly spot in the same class, with a waitlist behind it. iBooking has season and concept management and waitlists, but a reserved-recurring-seat product is not documented.
One subscription covers several named family members, each with a profile. A family membership is not documented for iBooking.

Honest take
We're not the right fit for everyone. Here's when you should stay with iBooking.
Tell us when you want to switch. We export your members, classes, schedules and active subscriptions from iBooking, import them to Class Booking, sit on a video call with you to verify everything looks right, and switch your domain over the weekend. Your customers don't notice.
iBooking is quote-only and modular, with no published prices as of July 2026, so the cost depends on the modules you select and the quote you receive. Class Booking publishes Basic, Pro and Studio on one page, the same for everyone. You can compare our flat price against your iBooking quote directly.
iBooking is built for gyms and fitness centres, with strong access control and resource booking. If that is your operation, it may suit you well. If you run yoga, pilates or class-based sessions, Class Booking is studio-first, with seasons, memberships and fixed spots as the core.
Class Booking documents a fixed-spot subscription: a reserved recurring seat with a waitlist. iBooking has season and concept management and waitlists, but a reserved-recurring-seat product is not documented. Confirm with iBooking if this is central to you.
It can. iBooking's UI is Norwegian and its preferred payment method is Avtalegiro, the Norwegian direct-debit scheme. Class Booking runs in six languages on your own Stripe account, so it fits studios across and beyond the Nordics.
It depends on the setup, which we confirm on the discovery call. Avtalegiro mandates do not move to a card-based system automatically; where that applies, members set up payment once on first login on Class Booking, and we provide an email template you can send the day before.
