What you need to know
There are three clear areas where Hapana comes out on top compared to Arketa. They are:
- Hapana’s clear pricing structure, with no surprises or additional fees that catch you unaware
- Hapana’s smart scheduling feature, which makes it easier for you to manage your gym and save time on admin
- The powerful reporting and analytics that come with Hapana, helping you make more strategic business decisions
Hapana’s pricing aligns with its comprehensive, scalable platform, bundling more enterprise-grade functionality into each tier and reducing the need for modular add-ons that keep adding to the cost.
At Arketa, on the other hand, the extra costs quickly add up. Last we checked, there’s the one-time set-up fee of $750, the cost of individual instructors (from $33/month and $119/month for B2B), Stripe fees of 2.9% + $0.30, Arketa fees of 3% for individuals and 1% for businesses… and more. It can all lead your costs for gym management software to spiral out of control.
Both setup and support are included in your fees, meaning no unexpected surprises. We also offer Professional Services as an add-on if you want extra customizations to take your automations to the next level.
You bet. Scalability is one of Hapana’s biggest strengths. As your business grows, you can tap into:
