Monthly cost comparison

Mindbody: ~$200-500/mo — the enterprise wellness leader

Mindbody is in virtually every yoga studio vertical we curate at roughly $200-500/mo. It's the right choice when you operate multiple locations, a franchise, or a high-volume studio that needs enterprise-grade management. Mindbody's differentiator is scale: handles complex membership tiers, multi-location scheduling, retail inventory, and marketing automation with depth that boutique platforms can't match. The consumer app is also genuinely powerful: millions of users discover and book classes through Mindbody, making it a significant lead generation channel. The trade-off is cost and complexity: Mindbody requires dedicated administrators and is overkill for single studios. Mindbody is the wrong choice for boutique studios that prioritize community over scale.

Glofox: ~$150-400/mo — the boutique fitness specialist

Glofox is priced at roughly $150-400/mo and is the right choice for boutique yoga studios, Pilates studios, and small fitness centers that want a modern, brandable experience without enterprise complexity. Glofox's differentiator is branding: the app is white-label and customizable, creating a seamless brand experience that feels like your own rather than a third-party platform. The class management is also genuinely useful: waitlists, drop-in pricing, and teacher substitution workflows designed for boutique fitness. The trade-off is ecosystem depth: Glofox's consumer reach and multi-location features are lighter than Mindbody's. Glofox is the wrong choice for multi-location chains or studios that depend on marketplace discovery.

For teams under 50, paying $200-500/mo for Mindbody means spending significant money on features you may never use — evaluate whether the complexity is actually earning its keep.

Momence: ~$100-300/mo — the modern, community-focused platform

Momence is priced at roughly $100-300/mo and is the right choice for yoga studios that prioritize community building and modern member experience over traditional gym management. Momence's differentiator is engagement: the platform includes community feeds, challenge tracking, progress sharing, and social features that turn members into advocates. The virtual class integration is also genuinely useful: hybrid in-studio and online classes managed from one platform with automatic recording and replay access. The trade-off is operational depth: Momence's payroll, retail, and multi-location features are lighter than Mindbody's. Momence is the wrong choice for studios that need comprehensive business management rather than community engagement.

The right platform depends on your actual team size and workflow complexity — match the tool to your headcount, not to marketing promises.
