#2

Mindbody

Industry standard for large and multi-location studios

Pricing
Starter from $79/mo per location; higher plans quote-only

Pros

  • Large consumer marketplace that can bring new clients

Large wellness centres and spas

Our Verdict

The go-to for large studios and chains that want an all-in-one business suite and marketplace exposure. For a single-location studio: Who's In Studio Starter is $19/mo against Mindbody's $79/mo per location: $60 a month ($720 a year, 76% less) before any add-ons.

#3

Vagaro

Best for businesses that mix classes with salon and spa services

Pricing
From £20/mo for 1 bookable calendar (UK page); extra calendars cost more

Good value for a solo practitioner or a salon-studio hybrid. Each extra bookable calendar adds cost, and the product is appointment-first.
