WellnessLiving is a broad platform for fitness studios, salons and spas.

It includes point of sale, appointments and SMS, which Who's In Studio does not.
Who's In Studio is built for group-class studios. Starter ($19/mo, or $190/yr) and Growth ($49/mo, or $490/yr) have every feature; the only difference is that Starter covers up to 99 active members and Growth is unlimited. Starter moves up to Growth automatically when you pass 99. Who's In Studio Starter is $19/mo against WellnessLiving's $69/mo: $50 a month ($600 a year, 72% less) before any add-ons.
Billed monthly: WellnessLiving Business $199/mo vs Who's In Studio Growth $49/mo (unlimited members and instructors), $150 a month less. Billed annually: $2,148 ($179/mo) vs $490/yr, $1,658 a year less.
