Hapana Alternatives With Pricing You Can See Up Front

Hapana is a multi-location fitness platform aimed at franchises and growing studio groups, with a strong focus on member experience and branded apps. Mako is the business platform for independent operators. The clearest difference between them is not a feature — it is that you can find out what Mako costs right now, and you cannot do the same for Hapana.

Pricing

Hapana: No plan pricing is published. Payment processing fees appear on their site, but the software cost itself requires contacting sales. We have not published a figure here because we could not verify one, and inventing one would be worse than saying so.

Mako: Pulse is free. Basic at $139/month — the complete platform with three team members. Team at $249/month — fifteen team members, extra locations at $75/month each, advanced reporting, QuickBooks sync. Enterprise at $999/month — unlimited members across three locations. Roughly 20% off annually, no contract.

Why the Missing Number Matters

Quote-only pricing is not automatically a red flag — genuinely enterprise products are configured per customer, and Hapana sells into franchise groups where that is normal. But it has predictable consequences for a buyer, and they are worth naming:

• You cannot budget before committing time. Comparing five platforms means five sales calls before you know which are even in range.
• Your price depends on how you negotiate. When nothing is published, two studios of the same size routinely pay different amounts.
• Renewal is a negotiation, not a renewal. Published pricing gives you a reference point. Quote pricing does not.

If you are evaluating Hapana, get the full number in writing before the demo persuades you: base platform, per-location charges, branded app, onboarding or setup fees, contract length, and what happens at renewal.

Where Hapana Wins

Multi-Location and Franchise Operations

Built for groups running many sites with shared branding and central reporting. That is a genuinely different problem from running one studio well.

Branded Member App

A strong client-facing app experience, which for a franchise brand is often the point.

Enterprise Support Model

Account management and structured onboarding that matches how larger groups buy.

Where Mako Wins

Published, Predictable Pricing

The number is on the page. You can budget today, without a call, and it is the same number for everyone.

Independent-Operator Economics

$139 covers the whole operational platform. No setup fees, no annual contract, no negotiation.

Financial Intelligence

Profit per class after instructor pay, cash-flow forecasting, unit economics, LTV — built for an owner who is also the CFO.

Free Retention Benchmarking

Pulse costs nothing, imports from other platforms, and compares your churn against market averages. You can evaluate it without a sales conversation, which is rather the point.

The Decision

Pick Hapana if:

• You run a franchise or multi-site group with central brand requirements
• A branded member app is core to your offer
• You have the procurement capacity to run a negotiation and manage a contract

Pick Mako if:

• You want to know the price before the demo
• You are an independent operator, not a franchise group
• You want no contract and no setup fee
• You need financial reporting, not just member management

Your studio is a business. Not a hobby, not a side project, not a calendar with a cash register. It deserves software that treats it accordingly. If your platform cannot tell you whether you are financially healthy, it is not doing its job. And in 2026, you have better options.
