Frequently asked questions
Why is Kasratbook more expensive than Akton?+
Akton at ₹89/mo gives you basic member tracking. Kasratbook at ₹999/mo gives you UPI autopay, WhatsApp automation, a branded member app, biometric check-in, class scheduling, and analytics. The 10× feature difference pays for itself in recovered payments alone.
Is Akton good enough for a small gym?+
If you have under 50 members and don't need automation, Akton works. But the moment you want members to pay online, check in with biometrics, or book classes from an app, you'll need to switch.
Can I start with Akton and switch to Kasratbook later?+
Yes, many gyms do exactly this. We import your Akton data in hours. But starting with Kasratbook's free trial saves you the hassle of migrating later.
