Running Classes, Not Appointments? Step Up to Studio Software.
Vev is appointment software for service businesses, from $9.99/mo. Its published plans do not list class packs or recurring memberships. Who's In Studio is built for a class timetable: memberships, packs, waitlists, waivers and check-in from $19/mo.

Is Who's In a Vev alternative?
Yes, for studios that run group classes. Vev starts at $9.99/mo and is built around appointments (Vev's own pricing page, checked 5 October 2026). Who's In Studio Starter is $19/mo for up to 99 active members, with memberships, class packs, waitlists, waivers and QR check-in on both plans and member payments on your own Stripe account with no Who's In fee.
