ForEach Pilates vs Glofox for Indonesian Studios
Glofox (now ABC Glofox) is a popular studio management platform in international markets — but is it the right fit for a pilates studio in Indonesia that relies on QRIS, needs Indonesian-language software, and wants transparent pricing? Here's the honest comparison.
Full Comparison: ForEach Pilates vs Glofox (ABC Glofox)

| Member mobile app | PWA (browser) | Native app (iOS & Android) |
| Local support | WhatsApp (direct) | Email / help center (EN) |

ForEach reminders go out by email and browser push notification — push needs the member's permission (on iPhone, they must add the page to Home Screen first); email still sends even when push isn't enabled. Glofox sends notifications via its native mobile app.
Analysis
Pricing: Transparent vs. Hidden
ForEach Pilates has one published price: Rp 300,000/month, all core features included — no per-transaction fees, no hidden tiers.
Glofox does not publish its pricing. To find out what it costs, you need to contact their sales team and go through a demo process. Based on public user reviews on G2 and Capterra (2024–2025 data), reported costs are generally considerably higher than local Indonesian alternatives — but no official figures are available.
For a pilates studio in Indonesia that is just starting out or growing, this pricing opacity is itself a friction point — it's hard to compare value without a clear number.
Language and Local Support
Glofox is entirely in English — interface, documentation, and support. Support is available via help center and email in English.
ForEach Pilates defaults to Indonesian, with a toggle to English available at any time. Support is direct via WhatsApp — no tickets, no foreign-language email queue.
QRIS and Local Payments
Glofox is built for Western markets with card-based payment infrastructure (Stripe and similar). QRIS — the most common payment method at Indonesian studios, including scans from digital wallets like GoPay and OVO — is not supported.
ForEach Pilates records QRIS, bank transfer, and cash payments directly from the admin dashboard, with proof-of-payment uploads. This matches how Indonesian studios actually receive payment.
Where Glofox Still Has the Edge
Glofox's biggest advantage is its white-label native mobile app. Studios can offer members an app experience in the App Store and Google Play under the studio's own name and logo — not a browser link that members have to bookmark. This is a genuine UX advantage and a meaningful brand signal.
Glofox also has more mature marketing and CRM features (email campaigns, retention tools) and is designed for large multi-location studio chains. If your studio is already at that scale, Glofox may be relevant.
Our Recommendation
Choose ForEach Pilates if your studio is in Indonesia, uses QRIS or bank transfer, needs Indonesian-language software, and wants a clear price without a sales negotiation process.
Consider Glofox if a branded native mobile app is a business priority (for example, to strengthen member retention or brand image), or if you manage many locations and need integrated marketing/CRM tools.
