ManageMemberships vs EZFacility

ManageMemberships is purpose-built for gyms, MMA facilities, and shooting ranges. It includes member management, native door access control synced to billing, a branded mobile app, CRM with pipelines, classes, events, resource booking, waivers, and automation — all designed for owners who run combat sports gyms or facilities where access control and fast workflows matter.

EZFacility is a generic facility management platform that serves gyms, dance studios, batting cages, shooting ranges, and other recreation businesses. It offers color-coded calendar scheduling, membership management, class and training registration, integrated payment processing, Smartwaiver integration, CRM tools, and a branded mobile app. For ranges, its exclusive integrated POS partner is Rapid Gun Systems, an NCR Counterpoint reseller. It reports 99.99% uptime on AWS and PCI DSS Level 1 certification, and says it has served 3,000+ facilities for over 20 years. ^{1 2}

Why owners switch to ManageMemberships

Side by side comparison

This table is designed to scan quickly, similar to common alternatives pages. The EZFacility column links to public pages where possible.

The core difference: ManageMemberships is built for gyms, MMA facilities and ranges, with native door access that locks on a failed payment, built-in waivers and CRM pipelines. EZFacility is a broad sports and fitness facility platform with deep scheduling and a long track record.

If you value a proven uptime track record (99.99%) and PCI DSS Level 1 certification on public record, EZFacility has that documented. But for day-to-day workflows that match how combat sports gyms and ranges actually operate, ManageMemberships is purpose-built.

Where EZFacility wins

EZFacility has been doing this a long time and at real scale. It says it has served 3,000+ facilities for over 20 years, since 2003, and that each year it schedules 4.5 million sessions, sells 2.4 million memberships and processes $460 million. It reports 99.99% uptime on AWS and PCI DSS Level 1 certification. If you want a vendor with a long public track record, that counts.

Its scheduling is built for sports facilities. Drag-and-drop facility and league scheduling suits multi-sport complexes, rinks, courts and fields, where rentals and leagues matter as much as memberships. Check-in covers RFID cards, mobile, biometric scans and self-service kiosks, and its built-in EZPayments handles card, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay and tap-to-pay. For ranges, it pairs with Rapid Gun Systems for an ATF-compliant firearms POS. If you run a sports complex with leagues and court rentals, EZFacility was designed around that.

Where ManageMemberships wins

The door and the billing are one system. EZFacility describes access control that validates memberships in real time and can restrict areas by membership type, through hardware partners. Whether it cuts off access automatically when a payment fails isn't stated. In ManageMemberships it does: a declined card or an unsigned waiver is refused at the door, and access comes back the moment the member is current.

More is built in. Waivers with e-signatures are native here, where EZFacility uses a Smartwaiver integration. Lead pipelines with stages, owners and follow-ups come with the base plan. The homepage builder is ours, where EZFacility points to a website partner. And your branded member app is included on Core, where EZFacility offers it as an add-on to a custom quote.

And you can see the price before you talk to anyone. Our plans are on the pricing page. EZFacility's prices are behind a form and quoted by facility size, features and add-ons.

Pricing comparison

Since EZFacility quotes privately, get it in writing: the monthly fee for your facility size, the modules and add-ons you'd need (including the branded app), the processing rate, any setup fee and the contract terms. Then compare it against ManageMemberships Core, plus door access if you want it.

Migration from EZFacility

Start with your contract. EZFacility doesn't publish its contract or cancellation terms, so check the agreement you signed for the term length and notice period before you set a cutover date.

Your data exports in standard formats. EZFacility says reports export to CSV, PDF and XLSX, and it syncs with QuickBooks Online. We use those exports to bring over your members, membership types, billing dates and history, and map your memberships to ManageMemberships plans one to one. If your waivers live in Smartwaiver, export the signed records there too.

Ask about cards in writing. EZFacility doesn't publicly state whether stored cards can move to another processor. When a transfer is available, we coordinate it and members never re-enter a card. When it isn't, we build branded card-update forms and run an email and text campaign so members can update their card in a couple of taps.

Cutover is where double-billing happens, and we handle it by hand. Your old system stays live until you've checked that every member came across, and you pick the cutover date. Then we cancel each member's old billing individually, timed to land just before their next charge date, so nobody pays twice and nobody has a gap. Most migrations take two to three weeks from start to launch, and migration is included on every plan.
