Who should switch from Virtuagym — and who shouldn't?
We are not the best fit for every studio. Here is an honest take — so you don't talk yourself into a painful switch.
Switch if …
- You want a published flat rate instead of a custom quote.
- You want Stripe direct with SEPA, card, Sofort and Apple Pay — payouts straight to your account.
- You want EU hosting, German-speaking support, VAT-compliant invoices and a German-language DPA.
- You need solid booking, subscriptions, class passes, waitlists and live online classes — without a coaching/app suite.
- You want a fully white-labeled booking widget on your domain.
Stay on Virtuagym if …
- You rely on Virtuagym's coaching suite (workout & nutrition plans, progress tracking).
- A native member app with training content is core to your offering.
- Your workflows are deeply embedded in Virtuagym and switching would cause more friction than the value you would gain.

Common concerns about switching
The real reasons studios delay switching — and how easybook.studio answers each.
Virtuagym is quote-based — what does that mean for me?
Virtuagym typically sells via quotes that depend on modules and member count — you go through a sales cycle before you know the price. easybook.studio has a published flat rate from €2.50/month (regular €10) you can see immediately; the Basic plan includes 500 customers.
How does easybook.studio differ on payments?
easybook.studio uses Stripe directly — SEPA Direct Debit, card, Sofort, Apple/Google Pay. Payouts land straight in your business account with no platform markup from us; only standard Stripe fees apply.
We use Virtuagym for coaching, workout plans and the member app — do we lose that?
Honestly: yes, in part. Virtuagym bundles a broad coaching suite — member app, workout and nutrition plans, progress tracking — that easybook.studio does not replicate. easybook focuses on booking, membership management, payments, a white-labeled widget and live online classes via Whereby. If coaching and the native app are your main reason for Virtuagym, weigh that carefully; if it is booking, memberships and payments at a flat rate, easybook is almost always cheaper.
Virtuagym is NL-based — is that a problem for a DACH studio?
easybook.studio is built in Germany: EU hosting, German-speaking support, VAT-compliant invoices under §14 UStG and a GDPR Art. 28 DPA in German. Virtuagym is solid and international, but support and invoicing logic follow a broader international orientation.
