Is OPEN a good Eversports alternative?
Yes, especially for an independent studio that brings its own clients and wants predictable, low-entry costs. OPEN and Eversports cover the same core jobs: class schedules, online booking with waitlists, payments, memberships and a client database.
The difference is the commercial model. OPEN starts free, publishes every price and charges no per-booking commission on your own clients. Eversports starts at €49/month with a €99 setup fee and adds a 25% referral fee on customers it sends you through its marketplace — a real discovery channel, but one you pay for.
How do OPEN and Eversports pricing compare?
OPEN’s pricing is public: Free €0 · Private €17.99 · Plus €47 · Business €69.99 (15% off yearly). There is no sales call and no setup fee.
Eversports also publishes its prices — fairly — with plans from €49/month (billed annually, ex-VAT) up to €229/month, tied to booking volume, plus a one-time €99 setup fee and payment-provider transaction fees. The clearest pricing difference is at the entry point (OPEN starts free) and on commission (OPEN takes none on your own clients).
Does Eversports charge a commission on bookings?
On customers acquired through the Eversports marketplace, yes: Eversports states a “transparent referral fee of 25% per booking … capped at €75 per person”, and the fee stops once those customers become regulars. On clients you bring yourself, no marketplace fee applies.
OPEN charges no per-booking commission. If most of your bookings come from your own community, that difference compounds; if you lean on Eversports’ marketplace to find new clients, the referral fee is the cost of that reach.
Which is better for a boutique studio?
For a single-location or boutique studio that fills classes from its own community and wants to start free with no setup fee, OPEN tends to fit better. For a studio that wants to be discovered by new customers browsing a consumer app, Eversports’ marketplace is a genuine advantage.
Both handle SEPA, both speak several European languages, and both connect to Urban Sports Club, so the decision usually comes down to acquisition model and cost rather than core features.
When Eversports is the better choice
Eversports’ marketplace is its strongest card. It runs a consumer-facing app and website where people search for and book classes, so a studio that wants to be found by new customers — rather than only serving its existing community — gets real discovery from being listed.
Founded in Vienna in 2013, Eversports has an established presence in the DACH region and a larger team behind it. If marketplace-driven acquisition matters more to you than avoiding a setup fee and a referral commission, Eversports is a reasonable pick.
