A PushPress alternative built for fight gyms
PushPress grew up in CrossFit boxes. Its free plan carries 4.99% + $0.30 per card payment, and rank tracking starts on Pro at $159 USD a month. CornerDesk is one flat price, belt tracking included, on your own Stripe account.
The PushPress trade-offs
- 1
Free, until you count the fees
PushPress's free plan charges 4.99% + $0.30 per card payment; Pro ($159/mo USD) and Max ($229/mo USD) drop that to 2.89% and 2.75% + $0.30 (pushpress.com/pricing, October 2026). On a busy month, the free plan isn't free.
- 2
Belt ranks are a paid tier
Rank tracking isn't on PushPress's free plan — it starts on Pro. In a martial arts school, ranks are the whole point.
- 3
Built around the barbell
PushPress serves CrossFit boxes, strength gyms, and small-group training alongside martial arts. CornerDesk only builds for fight gyms.
