MyGymDesk vs Traqade: Which Gym Software Is Better for Indian Gyms? (2026)
Quick verdict
Traqade (by Gympik/RoundGlass) shut down on 31 December 2025 — its own website now serves a shutdown notice. Gyms that ran on Traqade need a new platform; MyGymDesk covers the same core ground (members, billing, biometric/QR attendance, multi-location) as an actively developed, India-native platform with published pricing (multi-location from the Growth plan).
Choose MyGymDesk if:
You ran your gym on Traqade and need an actively maintained India-native replacement with UPI collection (Pro plan), GST invoicing and WhatsApp automation.
Choose Traqade if:
No new circumstances favour Traqade — the product was discontinued on 31 December 2025 and is no longer available to buy or renew.

Why gyms switch to MyGymDesk
- →Traqade was discontinued on 31 December 2025 — continuing on it means no updates, no support, and no new signups; migration is a necessity, not a preference.
- →MyGymDesk publishes its full pricing (₹999–₹2,999/month, flat, unlimited members) — Traqade sold annual licences with no public price list.
- →WhatsApp-first member communication: automated payment reminders, expiry alerts and receipts over WhatsApp, which Traqade never offered (it used SMS/email).
- →Biometric (eSSL/ZKTeco) and QR attendance work without a dedicated PC via cloud ADMS push — if your Traqade setup used a compatible device, it can typically be reconnected.
