Eversports is built for larger sports clubs. Bobclass is built for independent Pilates, yoga, fitness and personal training studios — at a fraction of the price, with no hidden fees and support that responds.
Beyond their studio software, Eversports is pursuing a Europe-wide marketplace strategy — inserting themselves between consumers and studios through their discovery platform. When a client finds your studio through Eversports Marketplace, they typically pay a commission, sometimes up to 25% per booking. With Bobclass, your clients book directly with you. No middleman, no commission.
In short: Bobclass Studio is €34.99/month including VAT — no setup fee, no annual contract, no extras. Eversports Accelerate starts at €134/month excluding VAT, adds a €99 onboarding fee, locks you into an annual commitment even on monthly billing, and charges separately for marketing tools and the client app.

Studio owners need fast answers — when a client can't book, or you simply have a question about the waitlist functionality. Studio owners who've switched from Eversports consistently cite support as the biggest difference. You're always talking to a real person at Bobclass, and we typically respond the same day. On the Unlimited plan, you get a direct WhatsApp line to a human — available every day, 8AM–8PM CET, typically responding within minutes. Our App Store reviews (4.7 stars, 356 ratings) mention support more than any other feature.
A common frustration among Eversports customers: discovering after signing that basic features cost extra. Sending marketing emails to your own clients? €5/month ex. VAT on top. The client app? Separate price. Onboarding? €99 ex. VAT. And the Accelerate plan starts at €134/month — excluding VAT. Bobclass Studio is €34.99/month including VAT, with marketing tools and all apps included. What you see is what you pay — full stop.
Online payments are another area where the costs differ. Eversports adds its own markup on top of the standard Stripe processing fee. With Bobclass, you pay only the standard Stripe rate — we add nothing on top.
Eversports markets its client discovery portal as a way for studios to attract new students. In practice, the lead volume for most boutique studios is negligible. Studio owners we've spoken to reported a single new client acquired through the portal over a full year of paying for the platform. Bobclass doesn't promise you a lead pipeline — it makes your existing operation run smoothly: classes, bookings, client relationships, memberships. Happy clients stay longer and refer others. That's how boutique studios grow.
Both Bobclass and Eversports include a client app. But there's a fundamental difference in what that app is for.
The Eversports client app is a marketplace app. When your client opens it, they see classes from your studio — and from every other studio near them. Yoga on Monday? Here are six options nearby. Pilates on Thursday? Three studios are competing for the same booking. Eversports doesn't care which studio the client chooses, as long as they book through the platform. That's the business model.
Bobclass Go shows only your studio. Your classes, your schedule, your brand. Clients open it and see you — not a discovery feed of alternatives. It's a client app that works for you, not against you.
To be fair: Eversports does offer a white-label branded app — one that shows only your studio. But it costs up to €100/month extra, and you still have to pay the Apple and Google developer fees on top of that. It's the solution to a problem they created.
Eversports requires an annual commitment. If the tool doesn't fit your workflow, if support isn't there when you need it, or if the hidden fees add up — you're locked in regardless. Some studio owners we've spoken to know Eversports isn't working for them but are sitting out their contract before switching. Bobclass renews month-to-month, as per the App Store. No sales call required to cancel, no annual lock-in. Start on the free plan and upgrade only when it makes sense for you.
We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. Eversports is likely a better fit if:
Bobclass is built for independent studios and instructors who already have their clients and want a fast, simple tool to manage them well. If that's you, we're confident you'll be happy.
Start on the free plan — no credit card, no contract, no commitment. Already in an Eversports contract? Don't wait it out. Get in touch and we can discuss a free transition period, so you can switch now and not pay twice.
Eversports has four plans, priced excluding VAT. Here's how they compare to Bobclass — which is priced including VAT:
| Bookings/month | Eversports — ex. VAT | Bobclass — incl. VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 25 | No free plan | Free — forever |
| Up to 49 | Light — €59/month | Free — €0 |
| Up to 200 | Starter — €89/month | Pro — €19.99/month |
| Up to 500–600 | Accelerate — €134/month | Studio — €34.99/month |
| Up to 1,499 / unlimited | Professional — €185/month | Unlimited — €49.99/month |
A few things worth noting. Eversports prices are ex. VAT — in most European countries you'll add 20–21% on top. Bobclass prices are incl. VAT, so what you see is what you pay. Eversports also charges a one-off €99 onboarding fee, and their Accelerate plan locks you into an annual commitment even if you pay monthly. Bobclass has no setup fee and no annual contract.
To be fair, Eversports is reasonably intuitive — it's not a confusing product. Where Bobclass pulls ahead is speed of operation. Bobclass is optimised for quick bulk editing: reschedule a class, send a WhatsApp update to all affected clients, done — in under a minute from your phone. Or bulk-reassign every class belonging to an instructor who just called in sick, across your entire timetable, in a few taps. That kind of operational speed matters when you're running a studio and also teaching.
But the bigger difference is more fundamental: Eversports is web-based. To manage your studio, you need to sit down at a computer. Bobclass is a native app on iOS, Mac, and Android — which means you can handle bookings, check attendance, message clients, or reschedule a class from your phone while you're in the park, on the metro, or between sessions. For most independent studio owners, that's not a minor convenience — it's how they actually work.
Bobclass. Pilates studios run three distinct session types: private one-on-one sessions, duets (two clients sharing a session at a lower price per person), and group classes. Eversports is built around group class management — private sessions and duets don't fit cleanly into its scheduling model.
Bobclass handles all three in one schedule. The duet format works in a particularly smart way: a second spot opens automatically once the first client confirms, so a second client can self-book in without any manual coordination.

For most boutique studios, very few. Studio owners we've spoken to report as little as one new client per year through the Eversports discovery portal — and that's before asking whether those clients stuck around.
But there's a deeper reason we don't build this kind of feature: we don't believe in middleman services that take a percentage of your revenue without meaningfully contributing to it. The client found you, booked with you, and keeps coming back to you — a platform inserting itself into that relationship and charging for it is a model we're not interested in replicating. ClassPass works the same way, and we're not fans of that either.
The clients who matter most to a boutique studio aren't shopping around for the best deal on a drop-in class. They're the ones who come back every Tuesday at 9AM, refer their friends, and stay loyal through a price increase because they trust you. Bobclass is built to help you serve those people — not to sell you access to people who'll show up once.
