Compare Axiom Booking vs. Elite Coach Booking

Axiom Booking offers comprehensive software solutions for booking, scheduling, and invoicing tailored for those who rent out spaces or conduct sessions, whether it's in village halls, sports clubs, gyms, studios, co-working environments, or conference and meeting facilities. The system operates on customizable availability slots, effectively eliminating the chance of double bookings by managing rooms, courts, desks, and classes in a unified live calendar that supports recurring events, detailed room configurations, and additional services like equipment rental and catering, all reflected in the invoicing. Invoicing can be activated at your discretion, allowing bookings to automatically generate invoices and facilitating direct payments through Stripe, which ensures funds are transferred to your account, while also accommodating partial payments, refunds, and credit notes. Clients can easily make reservations through a personalized portal that reflects your branding, accessible via your domain or seamlessly integrated into your website, with a hassle-free, passwordless sign-in process. Other features include maintaining client records, managing booking approvals, SMS notifications, a secure document vault, and role-specific access for staff members. For just £2 per month per bookable item, you can utilize this software with no restrictions on user numbers, and you can try it out for 28 days without the need for a credit card.

A comprehensive solution for independent sports coaches and small academies, this platform offers booking, payment processing, and a customizable website. Coaches can create a branded site that includes venue-aware booking options, driving time calculations, lesson packages, prepaid credits, reminders, and client management tools. The Elite package enhances functionality with features for clinics, camps, regular classes, memberships, waivers, and even paid video reviews. Both Core and Elite plans allow payments to be directed into the coach's own Stripe account, although standard Stripe processing fees will apply. The Core plan is priced at $39 per month, while the Elite plan costs $79 per month, effective from the date of the first confirmed booking, alongside a one-time activation fee of $1. The platform's billing model imposes no monthly fee but retains 20% of all paid lessons conducted through it, which includes the Stripe processing costs. This service is specifically designed for individual instruction, steering clear of models that involve facility payroll or retail point-of-sale systems. With its user-friendly interface and tailored features, it empowers coaches to manage their businesses efficiently and effectively.
