# Trainera vs Eversports: An Honest 2026 Comparison for Studios and Gyms > Eversports charges by bookings per month, Trainera by a fixed studio plan. Prices, first-year cost, features and clear advice on when each fits a studio or gym, with a focus on Germany, Austria and Switzerland. *Author: Trainera Team | Published: 2026-09-25 | Reading time: 7 min* ## Trainera vs Eversports: the short answer Eversports (Eversports Manager) is studio software priced by the number of bookings per month: from EUR 59 a month (Light, up to 49 bookings) to EUR 249 a month (Champion, 1,500 bookings and more) on monthly billing, plus a one-time EUR 99 setup fee, all excluding VAT. Trainera Gym Core costs EUR 139.99 a month in Germany with unlimited members, no per-member fee and no setup fee; White Label, with the gym's own member app, costs EUR 279.99. In short: Eversports suits smaller yoga, Pilates and boutique studios with a modest booking volume, and sports centres that rent out courts. Trainera suits studios and gyms that want class booking, QR and turnstile entry, training and nutrition plans, a leads CRM and a member app in one system. All figures come from the official pricing pages; [our comparison methodology](/blogs/how-we-compare-fitness-software) explains how we work. ## How do the pricing models differ? Eversports charges by booking volume, Trainera by a fixed monthly plan. With Eversports the price rises as your studio gets busier; with Trainera it stays the same however many members book. **Booking-based pricing** means the plan depends on how many bookings (class spots or appointments) go through the software each month. **Flat pricing** means one fixed monthly amount, regardless of members or bookings. | Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly | Limit | | ---------------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------- | | Eversports Light | EUR 59 | EUR 49 a month | up to 49 bookings/month | | Eversports Starter | EUR 89 | EUR 79 a month | up to 199 bookings/month | | Eversports Accelerate | EUR 134 | EUR 119 a month | up to 599 bookings/month | | Eversports Professional | EUR 185 | EUR 169 a month | up to 1,499 bookings/month | | Eversports Champion | EUR 249 | EUR 229 a month | 1,500+ bookings/month | | Trainera Gym Core (Germany) | EUR 139.99 | billed monthly only | unlimited members | | Trainera Gym White Label (Germany) | EUR 279.99 | billed monthly only | unlimited members, own app | Prices checked on 25 September 2026 from each vendor's pricing page. Two details matter. The [Eversports pricing page](https://www.eversportsmanager.com/pricing) shows yearly-billed prices by default (the vendor says yearly saves up to 17%), all amounts exclude VAT, and a one-time EUR 99 onboarding and setup fee applies. Trainera sets prices per country and never converts them: the figures above are for Germany (in the US, Core is $149 and White Label $299 a month). The German prices also apply in Austria; Switzerland and other countries have their own prices on the [Trainera pricing page](/pricing). ## What does each cost in the first year? Up to about 200 bookings a month, Eversports is cheaper than Trainera Core in year one. On the Accelerate plan the two are almost level on monthly billing, and from the Professional plan upwards Trainera Core costs less. | Example studio | Eversports plan | Eversports year 1, monthly + EUR 99 | Eversports year 1, yearly + EUR 99 | Trainera Core year 1, monthly | | ------------------------------------ | --------------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | | Small yoga studio, 40 bookings/month | Light | EUR 807 | EUR 687 | EUR 1,679.88 | | Pilates studio, 180 bookings/month | Starter | EUR 1,167 | EUR 1,047 | EUR 1,679.88 | | Boutique studio, 450 bookings/month | Accelerate | EUR 1,707 | EUR 1,527 | EUR 1,679.88 | | Class studio, 1,200 bookings/month | Professional | EUR 2,319 | EUR 2,127 | EUR 1,679.88 | | Gym, 2,500 bookings/month | Champion | EUR 3,087 | EUR 2,847 | EUR 1,679.88 | Prices checked on 25 September 2026 from each vendor's pricing page. Not included: VAT, payment provider fees, access hardware and add-ons. At Eversports the door access system costs EUR 38 a month (EUR 456 a year), and lighting control with door access EUR 59 a month. At Trainera, connecting up to 10 turnstiles or scanners is included in Core; budget for the hardware itself separately. Trainera gym plans are billed monthly only, so the Trainera column is simply twelve monthly payments. Run the numbers with your real bookings from the last three months, not a peak-season average. ## Features side by side Both systems cover classes and bookings. The differences are in entry, payments, the member app and coaching. For Eversports we list only what its official pricing page states; ask about the rest in a demo. | Feature | Eversports (per pricing page) | Trainera | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Pricing basis | bookings per month | fixed plan, unlimited members | | Setup fee | EUR 99 one-time | none | | Trying it | demo; trial not stated | Core with a 7-day trial, self-serve | | Entry | door access system add-on, EUR 38/month | QR member card and check-in API for up to 10 devices on Core | | Lighting control | with door access, EUR 59/month | not listed | | Card payments | payment provider fees may apply, rates not published | gym's own Stripe account at 0% platform fee, plus PayPal, cash, bank transfer | | Branded member app | not stated on pricing page | Core: Trainera app in your colours and logo; White Label: your own iOS and Android app | | Training and nutrition plans | not stated on pricing page | yes, with AI drafts that trainers review and approve | | Leads CRM | not stated on pricing page | 7-stage pipeline with reminders | | Courts (tennis, padel) | separate sports-centre packages | not listed | | Software languages | not stated on pricing page | 26 languages | Two terms in one line each. A **check-in API** is an interface that lets a turnstile or scanner check, on every scan, that the membership is valid, the access hours fit and the entry limit is not used up. **White label** means the member app appears in the App Store and Google Play under your studio's name and logo, not the software vendor's. Our guide to the [white-label gym app](/blogs/white-label-gym-app) goes deeper. ## When is Eversports the better choice? Eversports is a good choice when your studio has few bookings, is built around yoga, Pilates or classes, or rents out courts. The entry price is low and the prices are public. * **Small studios:** with up to 199 bookings a month you pay EUR 59 to 89 a month at Eversports, well below a fixed studio plan. * **Sports centres with courts:** Eversports has separate packages for sports centres; Trainera does not list court booking for tennis or padel. * **Lighting control:** if you want lights and door controlled together, Eversports offers an add-on for it. * **A setup that already works:** if your team and customers are happy on Eversports, switching for price alone is rarely worth it. For a wider look at class-based studios, see our comparison of [yoga studio software](/blogs/best-yoga-studio-software). ## When does Trainera fit better? Trainera fits when your studio has high booking volume or needs more than class booking: entry, coaching, payments and a branded app in one system, at a fixed price. * **High booking volume:** from about 600 bookings a month, the fixed Core price is below the Eversports Professional and Champion plans. * **Gyms with turnstiles:** QR card, up to 10 devices through the check-in API, and expiry, access hours and entry limits checked on every scan. See the [check-in and access control guide](/blogs/gym-check-in-access-control-software). * **Training and nutrition:** trainers have their own logins, build plans from 1,800+ exercises and 1,100+ recipes, and approve AI drafts. You switch AI features on per membership package. * **Payments without a platform fee:** card payments go through your own Stripe account at 0% platform fee, and reception records cash. More in [gym payment software](/blogs/gym-payment-software). * **Multilingual members:** the app works in 26 languages, including German, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Russian and Arabic. **Trainera is not the right fit** if you run a very small class studio with few bookings and need only booking and payment, if you rent out tennis or padel courts, if you want a free studio plan (Trainera has no free gym plan), or if you expect the software to control your lighting. ## How does a switch from Eversports to Trainera work? Trainera migrates your data for free from an export: members, packages, expiry dates, trainers and plans. You can test Core for 7 days first. 1. Export members and active memberships from your current software, or as an Excel file. 2. Set up your packages in Trainera: price, currency, billing cycle, access hours and entry limits. 3. Rebuild the timetable with recurring series and capacities; see [class scheduling and booking software](/blogs/gym-class-scheduling-software). 4. Invite trainers and front-desk staff by email and choose which pages each can see. 5. Cancel Eversports only once members are booking and checking in through the new app. ## A checklist for your demo calls Ask both vendors the same questions and get the answers in writing. * How many bookings did we have in the last three months, and which plan does that put us on? * Are prices net or gross, and which one-time fees apply? * What transaction fees do we pay per card payment? * Does the member app appear under our name in the App Store? * Which turnstiles and scanners are supported? * Who handles the data migration, and what does it cost?
