Alternatives to Bookwhen – comparing Striive to Bookwhen online booking software

Striive is packed with functions you and your clients will love – and you get full access at every user level.

Compare Striive to Bookwhen for your fitness business

Striive vs Bookwhen for your business accounts

Striive saves you time and effort with business accounting – even when it comes to doing your tax return. Striive supports online and offline client payments, and records your P&L data. You can view it within your Striive account, or export it as a report (your accountant will love that!)

Bookwhen supports online and offline payments, but it won’t store P&L data and doesn’t let you run financial reports.

Striive vs Bookwhen for your fitness clients

Striive collects client data like their goals, contraindications to exercise, and emergency contact details making life much easier for you and the client.

Bookwhen only collects email, phone number and client name.

Striive vs Bookwhen for selling 1-to-1 sessions

When you have a Striive account, your end users have access to a client area (and individual client profiles) where they can check their bookings, messages, notifications and even request private sessions.

Bookwhen doesn’t support private sessions, so if you want to offer 1-on-1 sessions you’ll have to create a one-person class and offer it to the client which is a manual – and clunky – solution.

Striive vs Bookwhen for managing renewable subscriptions

Striive allows you to create renewing subscriptions and offer the option to clients very easily.

Bookwhen offers credit-based passes.

How does Striive’s pricing compare to Bookwhen?

As you can see, there’s a big difference in functionality between Striive and Bookwhen, so a price comparison doesn’t tell the whole story. We don’t believe in offering false economy when it comes to running your business. You get full functionality and access to every Striive feature at all levels of Striive membership. Striive starts at £19 per month - just £10 more than Bookwhen for a lot more functionality.
