Well presumably 150 is what you pay to use the service, and they have like 100+ companies using it. The model is exactly like Planet Fitness or similar gyms: It doesn't work if everyone visits at once, but you plan on most people using

Serafe is completely crazy. For business it's based on turnover, so every financial company gets screwed. And for students 300 CHF is half your semester cost if my memory serves me right.
