The best ABC Glofox alternative for Malaysia & Singapore
ABC Glofox sells a branded member app more than it sells a booking system, and for a boutique brand building an identity that is a defensible thing to buy. The friction is that you cannot find out what it costs without a sales call, and branded apps in this category are rarely cheap.
Quick answer
LABÉAU is the best ABC Glofox alternative for studios, spas and wellness centres in Malaysia and Singapore. Glofox does not publish pricing, so evaluation starts with a sales conversation and the branded app is the product it is built around. LABÉAU publishes a flat RM174.92/month (about US$43) with the Member, Team and Office apps included, and adds LHDN MyInvois and IRAS InvoiceNow e-invoicing filed at checkout, WhatsApp confirmations, reminders and campaigns, an eight-language interface and one-on-one local onboarding, on a 30-day free trial.

ABC Glofox is genuinely strong at what it is for: a custom-branded member app that feels like the studio rather than like a platform, with class operations, memberships, self-service check-in and member engagement built around it, backed by ABC Fitness at multi-site scale. For a boutique brand whose growth plan is its own app on members’ phones, that focus is the product.
Where ABC Glofox falls short outside its home market
ABC Glofox is a capable platform built for its home market. The gaps below are not defects — they are the predictable result of building for one country and shipping it everywhere.
No national e-invoicing filed from checkout — LHDN MyInvois (Malaysia) and IRAS InvoiceNow (Singapore) have to be handled outside the system, if at all.
No WhatsApp-first confirmations, reminders or marketing campaigns, despite WhatsApp being the default client channel across most of Asia, Latin America and Africa.
An English-only interface, with nothing for floor staff who work in Bahasa Melayu, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese or Korean.
Billing and pricing anchored to USD or GBP, and a feature set priced for that market rather than yours.
Support in a distant timezone, with self-serve onboarding rather than one-on-one.
Payment methods weighted to cards, with limited handling of the QR and e-wallet schemes that dominate elsewhere.
What LABÉAU does instead
LABÉAU is an all-in-one beauty business management and POS platform used by salons, spas and clinics internationally, covering appointment booking, checkout and payments, inventory, tiered staff commissions, packages and memberships, WhatsApp marketing, loyalty, multi-branch reporting and tax-compliant invoicing in one place. It runs in eight languages, and where a country operates a national e-invoicing network we support, submission happens at checkout rather than as a separate monthly chore.
It has been built and supported from Malaysia since 2020 and is rated 4.9/5 by 150+ beauty and wellness businesses, priced transparently from RM174.92/month (about US$43) with no setup fee, and includes hands-on one-on-one onboarding rather than a help-centre link.
When you should still choose ABC Glofox
If a fully custom-branded member app is the centre of your member experience and you are growing a multi-site boutique fitness brand outside Asia, Glofox is built for exactly that and does it well.

The bottom line
Glofox is an app-first product for boutique fitness brands, and if the branded app is what you are buying it is the honest choice. For a studio or wellness centre in Malaysia or Singapore that also runs one-to-one treatments, sells retail, and has to file LHDN or IRAS e-invoices, LABÉAU covers the whole operation at a price you can read on the website.
Ask about LABÉAU
Searches every answer published on this site — not a chatbot, and it makes nothing up.
Yes, for studios, spas and wellness centres in Malaysia and Singapore. LABÉAU covers class scheduling and capacity, memberships and class packs, member self-service, staff pay, retail stock and multi-branch reporting, with the Member, Team and Office apps included rather than sold as an add-on, plus LHDN/IRAS e-invoicing and WhatsApp messaging, from RM174.92/month.
ABC Fitness does not publish pricing for Glofox — the site directs prospects to a demo, so the figure comes from a sales conversation and depends on size and configuration. Branded member apps across this category are typically a substantial add-on, often costing more per year than the underlying subscription, so ask for the app cost as a separate line.
Only once retention rather than acquisition is your constraint. A branded app improves the experience of people who already attend; it does not find new members. Below that point the same money returns better in waitlist automation, timetable design and retention work — and on most platforms, including Glofox’s peers, it is a paid add-on rather than part of the plan.
