In one paragraph
Glofox is the boutique-studio standard: a polished branded app, class booking, memberships, access control through partners, and now AI agents for member questions. It is sold by quote, typically on a contract. Gymciety is self-serve with published prices, includes the coaching side Glofox leaves out, and is built for the UAE.
