Zen Planner pricing in 2026: what a gym pays as it grows
An active member is anyone with a membership or who came in during the last month. So the bill rises as the gym grows: one owner went from $118 to $229 a month, plus $39 for the app.

From $99 a month for up to 45 active members to $289 for 251 or more, on the Studio plan. With a website it is $198 to $388 (October 20, 2026).
What counts as an active member?
Anyone with a membership, or who attended in the past month. Prospects and staff don’t count.
How much is Zen Planner’s app?
The branded member app is $39 a month. The plain Zen Planner member app is free.
Can you move my studio over?
Yes, and we do it for you at no charge. Download your client list from Zen Planner, and we bring it in, put in each person’s visits left on their pack or membership, and set up your classes and prices with you on a call. Saved cards come over where your old app’s payment company allows it, and everyone else gets a link to add their card again. Keep your old app running until you’re ready.
Is there a contract with ohelloo Work?
No. The free plan has no monthly price at all, and Get booked, $79 a month for the whole team, is month to month with your first 14 days free. Cancel before a month ends and you don’t pay for the next one.
