Exercise.com or MeetScarlet: a gym app with your name.
For a gym or studio that wants members booking classes and joining waitlists in an app with its name, at a price it can see before a demo, MeetScarlet is the better pick: the app comes in every plan for $349 a month, while Exercise.com prices its custom-branded apps by quote. MeetScarlet's setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly. We make MeetScarlet; every Exercise.com fact here comes from Exercise.com's own pages.
Which should you pick?
Who wrote this: the team that makes MeetScarlet. We compare from each vendor's own public pages, read on November 1, 2026, not from a hands-on test of the rival. Where a vendor does not publish something, we say so rather than guess.
Pick MeetScarlet if you run one gym or studio and want members booking classes, joining waitlists and buying memberships and packs in an app with your name, at a price you can see before a demo: $349 a month, plus $999 setup on monthly billing, free on yearly. Full classes get a waitlist that moves members up when a spot opens, which we did not find on Exercise.com's pages, and our team sets the app up and submits it under your own Apple and Google accounts.
Exercise.com may suit you if training content is part of what you sell, such as workout plans, livestreaming and on-demand content, or you want door access through Kisi or Gantner.
Why gyms pick MeetScarlet over Exercise.com
- A published price: $349 a month with the app included, plus $999 setup, or $3,490 a year with no setup fee; Exercise.com asks you to get a quote
- Class waitlists where members move up when a spot opens; we found no waitlist on the Exercise.com pages we read
- Your app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts; the Exercise.com pages we read don't say whose accounts hold its apps

Questions to ask on an Exercise.com demo
Exercise.com's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:
- What does the branded app cost for one gym, and is there a setup fee?
- Is the app listed under my gym's own developer accounts, or Exercise.com's?
- Who owns the app listing if I leave?
- Can members join a waitlist when a class is full?
- If you leave, can you export your client list, and what comes with it?
Ask us the same questions about MeetScarlet; our prices are on the homepage.
Moving to MeetScarlet
We import your member list from a spreadsheet or CSV export, then set up your classes, coaches, hours and memberships as part of setup. About 4 to 6 weeks for the store apps, most of it Apple's enrollment. Your web app's link is ready during setup, and members can book there as soon as you choose your MeetScarlet plan. They keep the same account when the store apps launch.
