A Closer Look at the Differences

Glofox (now part of ABC Fitness) is a solid boutique studio platform, popular in Europe and North America. It handles scheduling, memberships, and payments well. But it's built for English-speaking markets — there's no French or Arabic interface, which is a dealbreaker for studios in Morocco where staff and members communicate in multiple languages.

The other major gap is spot selection. If you run a Lagree or Pilates reformer studio, your members need to pick their exact machine when booking. Glofox doesn't offer this. With Jismi, spot selection is a core feature — not an afterthought.

On pricing, Glofox starts around $110/month (about 1,100 MAD/month) with an annual commitment. Jismi Pro is 499 MAD HT/month with no contract. For a boutique studio watching its margins, that difference is significant.
