The Zen Planner alternative for UK clubs.
Zen Planner is US fitness and martial arts business software sold on quote, with add-on modules for websites, apps and marketing. OurClub works differently. There is no monthly fee, just one all-in percentage of what you process, card fees included, with every feature and the member app in the box.
You pay nothing until your club takes money.

You pay a single rate from 4.25% of what you process, tapering as your volume grows, with no fixed monthly cost.
- Zen Planner
- Tier pricing is not published on their site; third-party listings report plans from around $99/month scaling with active members. Payment processing fees are charged on top; third-party reviews list paid add-ons for the branded app and website.

Pricing not published
Zen Planner sells on quote, so no like-for-like estimate is possible from public figures.
Estimates from list prices published on https://zenplanner.com/pricing/ (accessed July 2026) and OurClub's live ladder. Where a platform excludes payment processing we add Stripe's standard UK card rate as an estimate; actual processor rates vary by club. For the full method, read the UK cost guide.
