The Gymdesk trade-offs
- 1
A price that climbs with your roster
Gymdesk's tiers run from $100/mo USD (up to 50 active members) to $240/mo USD (151–250), with 251+ quoted — or $75 to $200 if you use Gymdesk Payments or an approved partner (gymdesk.com/pricing, October 2026). Every member you add moves you toward the next tier.

The branded app is an add-on

Asked and answered
01How does Gymdesk pricing compare?
Gymdesk's published pricing is $100, $125, $175, and $240 a month (USD) for up to 50, 100, 150, and 250 active members, or $75–$200 when you process through Gymdesk Payments or an approved partner; above 250 it's quoted, and extra locations cost more (gymdesk.com/pricing, as of October 2026). CornerDesk is $99 CAD/mo flat for unlimited members, staff, and classes. We compare the numbers as listed, without converting currencies.
02Does CornerDesk handle belt testing like Gymdesk?
CornerDesk keeps a rank ladder, runs grading events with candidates and results, promotes on a pass, and can limit classes to a minimum rank. It doesn't score test-readiness automatically — your instructors decide who's ready, with each student's attendance history on their profile.
03Can I import my Gymdesk members?
Yes. Export your members from Gymdesk to CSV and drop the file in — column auto-detect, duplicate flagging, plan mapping, and a full preview before anything writes.
04Do my members need an app?
No. Members get a magic link by text that opens their portal in a browser — book, cancel, check in, update their card, sign the waiver. Nothing to install.
