Why Organizers Switched from WellnessLiving
"We were paying WellnessLiving $159/month and barely using half the features. Who's In Studio at $40.83/mo does everything we actually need — plus Wallet passes which WellnessLiving doesn't have."
Rachel T.
Yoga Studio Owner, London
"The WhatsApp reminders alone justified the switch. Our class attendance went up 25% in the first month. And we're saving over $100/month compared to WellnessLiving."
Michael S.
CrossFit Box Owner, Toronto
"Custom domain on the $19 plan? WellnessLiving wanted us on the $249 plan for that. Who's In Studio is a no-brainer for independent studios."
