Sportbit Alternative: Sessy vs Sportbit Manager
Is there a simpler alternative to Sportbit Manager?
Yes. If you want predictable per-member pricing, every feature in one plan, and a self-serve trial without a sales call, Sessy is a credible Sportbit alternative. Both platforms handle day-to-day gym and studio operations; the gap is mostly pricing model, plan tiers, and how you get started.
This page is for Dutch and Belgian box, studio, and gym owners on Sportbit (or evaluating it) who hit a Pro paywall for analytics or pay extra for Multi-business as they grow.

Where Sessy is stronger (fairly)
Public per-member pricing. You can calculate monthly cost before talking to sales. Sessy bills only active members in the month; cancelled members do not count. Analytics and occupancy are not locked behind a higher plan.
Worked example — 100 active members: Sessy €31.50/month including VAT (graduated tiers at €0.50 / €0.35 / €0.25 / €0.15 / €0.10 per member).2 Sportbit’s pricing page shows from €51/month (Basic) and from €68/month (Pro) for gyms with under 100 members, without stating whether VAT is included.1 Comparable occupancy, late cancel, no-show, and churn insights require Pro. Separate admin per location uses Multi-business, priced separately.1
Start on your schedule. Sessy offers a 30-day trial with all features and no credit card. Sportbit onboarding is guided; Lite is free only with under 10 members in the first year.1
Locations without add-ons. Unlimited locations, calendars, and session types at no extra cost.2
One app for members, coaches, and admins (role-based member and admin spaces since Sessy 10.0).3
Modern AI. The in-app Sessy AI assistant (beta) answers questions about members, sessions, attendance, and revenue, and prepares changes — you review a preview and tap Confirm before anything is saved. Fifty in-app queries per month are included.4 With MCP at https://mcp.sessy.app, you can connect external tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others) using per-employee tokens; MCP changes apply immediately with no in-app preview step.5 Sportbit’s pricing page does not list comparable AI or MCP features.1
Where you are largely on par
- Payments: iDEAL and SEPA fit Benelux gyms; both support recurring collection (Sessy via Stripe or SEPA batch export to your bank).61
- QR access: Sportbit includes QR/RFID access from Basic; Sessy ships built-in QR scanners and access logs.17
- Results tracking: Both support logging training results (Sportbit from Basic).1
- Core ops: Booking, waitlists, member app, shop, and coach tools — the baseline is similar.
Where Sportbit highlights extras (per their site)
On sportbitmanager.nl/prijzen they also promote:
- Integrations such as Urban Sports Club, Workit (Basic+), Clubplanner, and High Level (Pro)1
- Mailchimp, video library, community wall, family accounts, livestream classes, and make-up lessons1
- Lead Management Dashboard on Pro1
- Branded app in the app stores on request (custom logo in the standard app is in all plans)1
- Fully automated collections via MultiSafepay as well as your own bank1
If your business relies on one of those flows, factor that in. Sessy includes newsletters, shop, reporting, and AI/MCP in the base licence; integration lists differ.
