Setmore Is for Appointments. You Need Studio Software.
Setmore is a great appointment scheduler — for salons and consultants. But your fitness studio needs class packs, memberships, multi-room scheduling, and automatic waitlists. Who's In Studio is built for exactly that, starting at $15.83/month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Setmore
Why switch from Setmore to Who's In Studio?▼
Setmore is a general-purpose appointment scheduling tool designed for salons, consultants, and service businesses. Who's In Studio is purpose-built for fitness and wellness studios — with class packs, memberships, multi-room scheduling, automatic waitlists, and WhatsApp notifications that Setmore simply doesn't offer. Starting at $15.83/month, it's built for how studios actually operate.
Does Setmore support class packs and memberships?▼
No. Setmore is designed for one-to-one appointments, not group classes. It has no concept of class packs (e.g., 10-class bundles), recurring memberships, or capacity-managed group sessions. Who's In Studio has all of these built in, so your students can buy packs, auto-renew memberships, and book into capacity-limited classes.
Can Who's In Studio handle multiple rooms and instructors?▼
Yes. Who's In Studio supports multi-room scheduling so you can run a yoga class in Room A and a Pilates reformer session in Room B at the same time. Each instructor manages their own schedule, and students see real-time availability across all rooms and instructors.
How does the waitlist work compared to Setmore?▼
Setmore doesn't have waitlists for group classes — because it doesn't really support group classes. Who's In Studio has automatic waitlist management: when a class fills up, students join a numbered queue. When someone cancels, the next person is automatically promoted and notified via WhatsApp. Zero manual work.
Is it hard to migrate from Setmore?▼
Not at all. Since Setmore doesn't have class-specific data structures (packs, memberships, attendance history), you're essentially starting fresh with a tool built for studios. Most owners set up their full weekly class schedule in under 30 minutes. Your students don't need to download anything — they book from any browser.
How much does Who's In Studio cost compared to Setmore?▼
Setmore's Pro plan is $12/user/month — which adds up fast with multiple instructors (3 instructors = $36/month). Who's In Studio starts at $15.83/month flat for unlimited instructors, unlimited classes, and unlimited students. No platform fees, no per-user fees, no per-staff charges.
