Compare Axiom Booking vs. FitDesk

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.

FitDesk serves as an online platform tailored for independent personal trainers and fitness coaches, enabling them to efficiently oversee client records, manage schedules, and handle bookings. Trainers can create customized workout plans, session packages, monitor client progress, and maintain communication with their clients all in one place. Clients benefit from the ability to book sessions, adhere to tailored workout routines, log their progress, and make payments for sessions or packages online. The platform offers a personalized client experience and integrates seamlessly with the trainer’s Stripe account for processing card payments, while also allowing for the logging of cash transactions. It features invoicing capabilities, including payment links and reminders related to bookings and payments. Notably, FitDesk does not impose a monthly subscription fee, charging only 0.7% on card payments processed, with a minimum fee of 1p per transaction; standard Stripe fees will also apply. There are no fees for cash payments made through the platform. Although FitDesk is accessible via mobile browsers, it currently lacks dedicated native applications for iOS and Android devices. Overall, it provides a comprehensive solution designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of both trainers and their clients in the fitness industry.
