PRICING

What each one publishes.

ABC Glofox

  • Viewed from India on 25 Sep 2026, the plans page says “Plans starting at $99 per month”. It uses “$” without a currency code. Essential, Boost and Elite say “Request Pricing”; Enterprise says “Contact Us”. Treat this as a starting figure, not a quote for your studio.1,35
  • Tier features are public. XLerate and the standalone branded app are optional on Essential and Boost and included in Elite. ABC Insights is optional on the plans page, even for Elite; its reporting page instead says Elite includes it. Ask for the chosen plan and add-ons in writing.1,16
  • The plans FAQ says the monthly price is “locked for life”, while the Terms of Use allow increases at renewal with 30 days’ notice. The Order Form sets the contract term and payment-service fees. These sources conflict; use the written quote and contract to clarify your obligation.1,2
  • ABC Fitness announced completion of its Glofox acquisition on 25 August 2022; the copy on Glofox’s blog is dated 26 August. Today’s product is ABC Glofox. A dated primary source for the rebrand itself could not be verified.36,1

StudioFly (India)

  • Growth: ₹1,999 a month, or ₹19,999 a year
  • Pro: ₹2,999 a month, or ₹29,999 a year
  • Enterprise: ₹44,999 a year; monthly billing on request
  • Prices exclude GST. Every plan includes one location and unlimited members, with a 7-day free trial in India. See pricing

IN FAIRNESS

Where ABC Glofox is the better choice.

Members choose their exact place

ABC Glofox documents room-map selection for bikes, mats and reformers. StudioFly books a place in a class without choosing equipment. Ask Glofox support to confirm Spot Booking access.18

A studio-branded store app is essential

Glofox offers a standalone branded app, subject to package and Apple Developer requirements. StudioFly’s mobile apps are coming soon; members currently use the browser portal.1,29

Parents book for children

Glofox’s family accounts let guardians buy and book for children, subject to package eligibility. StudioFly does not provide family accounts.30

Your network needs roaming memberships

Glofox describes roaming memberships, HQ controls and ABC Insights roll-up reports. Confirm the Insights package conflict before choosing a plan.33,34,16,1

Your front desk needs AI phone handling

ABC AI Agents handle calls, text and chat, including lead follow-up. StudioFly’s AI Business Pack describes a business assistant, insights and a WhatsApp agent, not an AI phone receptionist.31

SWITCHING

Moving from ABC Glofox to StudioFly.

A realistic plan, step by step. Nothing here needs to happen in a hurry.

  1. Export what you have

    In Glofox, download the client CSV from Manage > Clients > Actions > Download, and export transactions from the Transactions report. Separately reconcile active memberships, remaining credits, expiry dates and balances; a client list alone is not a complete migration. The terms require 30 days’ cancellation notice and describe data return within 60 days after termination subject to outstanding and off-boarding fees. Confirm your Order Form and obtain exports before closing access. (Sources 49, 7, 2, checked 25 Sep 2026.)

  2. Set up StudioFly

    Create your class types, recurring classes, membership plans, packs and staff roles, so the structure is ready before members arrive.

  3. Import your members

    Bring member records across with a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) import, and check the imported records before you use them.

  4. Plan payments

    Saved cards and recurring set-ups usually can’t be moved between payment providers, so plan how members will pay their next fee through StudioFly.

  5. Choose a switch date

    Pick a quiet week, tell members the date and what changes for them, and move bookings over on that day. How long it takes depends on your member count, your plans and how much history you move.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Your questions, answered.

Want to talk through your own setup?

Let’s have a conversation
How much does ABC Glofox cost in India?

Its plans page, viewed from India on 25 Sep 2026, says “Plans starting at $99 per month”, without a currency code. The individual tiers require a quote, and an INR price is not listed. Ask for your billing currency, location count and add-ons together. (Sources 1, checked 25 Sep 2026.)

Does Glofox support UPI and Indian GST invoices?

UPI and Indian GST invoice fields are not listed on the checked payment and tax pages as of 25 Sep 2026. Glofox Payments’ country list does not name India. This is a limit of the published evidence, not proof that no arrangement is possible; ask for a demonstration for your business. (Sources 3, 6, 4, checked 25 Sep 2026.)

Can my clients book a duo appointment themselves?

Glofox’s Semi-Private PT article supports two or more clients but requires staff to book them. StudioFly has Couple/Duo PT packages where two members train together and members book trainers’ open slots. (Sources 22, checked 25 Sep 2026.)

Is Glofox the same product as ABC Glofox?

The site now sells ABC Glofox. ABC Fitness announced completion of the Glofox acquisition on 25 August 2022. The dated rebrand announcement could not be verified, so this page does not assign a rebrand date. (Sources 36, 1, checked 25 Sep 2026.)
