Zivvy vs RhinoFit
Here is the honest version. RhinoFit is budget gym management software — memberships, scheduling, billing and door access from $57 per month flat, with a free-forever tier. Zivvy is the growth platform for martial arts schools — it connects to the machinery you already run and finds the money hiding inside it.
first, an honest question
Owners search "RhinoFit alternative" for two very different reasons. The first is the software — you've outgrown it, a feature is missing, you want different machinery. If that's you, Zivvy is not your answer, and we won't pretend it is. Gymdesk, Kicksite, MyStudio and Zen Planner all compete for that job.
The second reason is the money — the software does what it says, the classes run, and the bank account still doesn't match the effort. That's not a software problem, and it's not a budget problem either. That's hidden profit: failed payments nobody chased, students drifting toward the door, leads that never got a second call. Running lean doesn't cause it — but it does mean nobody's watching for it.
If the software is the problem, switch software. If the money is the problem, you don't have to switch anything.
two different jobs.
Lean machinery at a flat price.
RhinoFit is gym management software built to keep costs down — member management, scheduling, billing, attendance and even door access, at $57 per month flat with unlimited members, or a free tier that runs forever under 20 members. It serves gyms, boot camps and martial arts schools alike. Running lean is a legitimate strategy, and if you want capable machinery at the lowest flat price on this compare list, that is the job it's built for.
The money the machinery records.
Zivvy is the growth platform for martial arts schools. It doesn't manage members, run schedules, or open doors — and it doesn't ask you to leave whatever does. It connects to the school you already run and finds the hidden profit: the failed payments sitting unrecovered, the students quietly going cold, the follow-ups that never happened. Then it helps you recover it — or does the recovering for you.
RhinoFit keeps the records. Zivvy works them.
recording a failed payment is not recovering it
RhinoFit's billing does what billing software does: it runs the charge, and when a card declines, it records the decline. Then the record sits there. In a lean operation there's no billing person, no follow-up sequence, no one whose Tuesday job is calling the parent whose card expired — that's the whole point of running lean. Which means the leak isn't anyone's job. At $57 a month, one unrecovered payment usually costs more than the software. The Vault works the failed payments, The Family Room flags who's drifting, and on the higher tiers Zivvy's team does the chasing. The record becomes recovery.
Lean explains why nobody's chasing the money. It doesn't make the money smaller.

the connection question.
Here's where we owe you the same honesty we promise everywhere else. Zivvy connects to your school's systems through two-way Zapier integrations — that's how we work alongside instead of replacing. As of August 2026, we can't find a RhinoFit app on Zapier. No connection means Zivvy can't read your billing and attendance automatically the way it can alongside Gymdesk, Kicksite or Zen Planner. What still works with nothing connected: the free Diagnostic reads your answers, not your software, and shows you what your school is hiding in minutes. If the number is big enough to act on, talk to us about what a connection path would look like — honestly, before you spend a dollar.
We'd rather tell you about the gap than let you find it after you've paid.
when to choose which
Choose RhinoFit if
You want the lowest flat price on capable gym machinery — $57 a month, unlimited members, door access included. Running lean is a real strategy, and RhinoFit serves it honestly.
Choose Zivvy if
The lean operation runs fine and the money still doesn't add up. The gap between effort and bank account has a name — hidden profit — and finding it is the entire job. Start with the free Diagnostic; it works before anything is connected.
Choose both if
[Verify — a connection path for RhinoFit schools has to exist before this page promises one. Until then, the honest answer is the Diagnostic first, connection conversation second.]
the questions owners actually ask.
Is Zivvy a RhinoFit replacement?
No. RhinoFit is gym management software; Zivvy is a growth platform. Zivvy doesn't do RhinoFit's job, and RhinoFit doesn't do Zivvy's.
What does Zivvy actually cost?
$397, $597, or $897 per month — REVEAL, RECOVER, and RUN. The difference is how much of the recovery work Zivvy's team does for you. Full detail is on the pricing page.
Zivvy costs more than my whole software budget. Why would I look at it?
Because they're different purchases. RhinoFit is a cost you minimize; Zivvy is priced against the money it finds. Run the free Diagnostic first — if the number isn't several times the price, don't buy. That's the honest math.
Does Zivvy connect to RhinoFit?
Not today — we can't find a RhinoFit app on Zapier, and two-way Zapier is how Zivvy connects. The Diagnostic works with nothing connected, and we'll tell you honestly what a connection path looks like before you spend anything.
What support does Zivvy include?
In-app chat, live one-on-one calls, a ticketing system, and email — staffed Monday through Friday, 9am–5pm Central. When something's wrong with your money, you talk to a person.
Where do I start?
The Diagnostic. It's free, it takes minutes, and it works even without a software connection. No card, no call.
