Our verdict
Both target gyms and boxes rather than spas. PushPress is the more modern, member-experience-focused gym OS with strong automation and a clean app, popular with functional-fitness and strength studios. Zen Planner is the long-established option with deep membership and retention tooling, often chosen by martial arts and affiliate gyms. Newer studios wanting a streamlined, app-first stack tend to prefer PushPress; operators who want mature, battle-tested membership management lean Zen Planner.
