Glofox Alternative for Gyms
Glofox is gym management software with class booking, member check-in and typically its own payment processing. Enterprise Pay Gateway does not manage class schedules or check-in — it's payments software on your own Stripe account, handling memberships, packages, deposits and a storefront. Gyms needing full class/booking management usually need Glofox or a similar suite alongside, or instead of, EPG.

Glofox at a glance
Glofox is built for gyms and boutique studios, covering class scheduling, member check-in, staff management and generally its own bundled payment processing.
Enterprise Pay Gateway focuses only on the payments layer: memberships and recurring billing, prepaid packages, deposits, a storefront and staff logins, all on a Stripe account in the gym's own name.
If a gym's core need is managing classes and check-in, that's Glofox's territory. If the core need is a Stripe-based billing system for memberships and packages — without a management suite attached — that's what EPG covers.

When Glofox is the better choice
- You need class scheduling, capacity limits and member check-in as core daily tools.
- You want a single vendor managing both operations and payments together.
- You're comfortable with the platform's bundled processing rates rather than a Stripe account in your own name.
Why Stripe users switch to Enterprise Pay Gateway
- They want membership payments in a Stripe account the gym owns directly, with Stripe's own payout schedule.
- They want a platform fee that scales with volume rather than a flat management-suite subscription.
- They want staff logins scoped to payments only, with payouts and account settings owner-restricted.
- They want simple prepaid session packages without paying for check-in and scheduling tools they don't need.
