Migration Guide
Complete migration guide -- move your members, billing, and data with zero disruption. Most migrations go live within 48 hours of us receiving your export. Concierge migration is $990, waived on annual plans.
Hapana is built for boutique, franchise, and multi-site fitness brands, and it has real traction with well-known names in that space. But a few things about how it's priced and packaged push some owners to look elsewhere.
Hapana doesn't publish its base subscription pricing. You need to book a demo to get a quote, across three per-location tiers (Basic, Premium, Pro). That makes it hard to compare costs upfront or budget with confidence before a sales conversation.
Hapana's published fee schedule includes a $2.50 fee per failed payment and a $25 fee per chargeback, on top of card-not-present processing at roughly 2.9-3.0% + $0.30 and ACH at 1.0% + $0.40. Those per-incident fees add up as your membership base grows.
"Hapana AI" is only available on the Pro tier. Gyms on Basic or Premium don't get access to it, and there's no published free trial to test it either, only a demo.
Hapana's Access module (door entry) is sold as an add-on rather than bundled into the core platform.
Switching from Hapana to VERVE Pulse trades an opaque, demo-gated pricing model for transparent AUD pricing with smart automation included from day one.
Three plans, published upfront: Core $199, Grow $349, Pro $549 (+GST), each with active members included. No sales call needed to find out what you'll pay.
Churn prediction and an AI business coach are included from Core, not gated to a top tier you have to earn your way into.
Full access to the platform for 30 days, not a sales demo. Test it with your own data before you commit.
Log every machine, automate maintenance schedules, track warranties, and forecast replacements. Built in, not a separate module.
Pulse integrates with Kisi for door access control as part of the same platform running your billing, marketing, and reporting.
Hapana's export tools give you a clean starting point for your member data. Most migrations go live within 48 hours of us receiving your export.
Log in to Hapana and export your contacts to CSV. Download the Membership Details report from your dashboard, per Hapana's own help documentation.
Create your free account at vervepulse.io. The 30-day trial gives you full access to every feature, including AI automation that Hapana gates to its top tier. Your dedicated onboarding specialist contacts you within 24 hours to plan the migration.
Upload your Hapana CSV exports into VERVE Pulse. The import tool automatically maps member fields including names, contact details, membership types, and billing information. Your onboarding specialist verifies accuracy against your export.

Connect Stripe, Square, or your preferred payment processor. Create membership plans with transparent pricing. If you use door access, set up the Kisi integration.

| Data Type | Transfer Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Member profiles | Full transfer | Via contacts CSV export |

Hapana doesn't publish its own migration or onboarding timeline. Most Pulse migrations go live within 48 hours of us receiving your export.
This timeline assumes a single-location gym. Multi-location operations may need extra time.
No. Core member data transfers via CSV import. Hapana's help docs describe exporting a contacts CSV and a membership details report. Export everything you want to keep before cancelling.
Yes. The 30-day free trial lets you run both platforms side by side. Hapana itself does not publish a free trial, only a demo, so Pulse's trial gives you a real hands-on comparison before you commit.
Most migrations go live within 48 hours of us receiving your data export, with zero downtime. Hapana does not publish its own migration or onboarding timeline.
Yes. VERVE Pulse offers a $990 concierge migration service, waived if you bill annually, and free with a qualifying VERVE Fitness gym fit-out. A dedicated onboarding specialist handles the entire process.
Hard to say. Hapana does not publish its base subscription pricing; you have to book a demo for a quote. VERVE Pulse starts at $199/month +GST, published upfront, with AI automation included on every plan. Hapana's published fee schedule includes a $2.50 failed-payment fee and a $25 chargeback fee per incident, and its AI features are gated to the top Pro tier.
