TeamUp Charges You More
As You Grow. We Don't.
TeamUp's usage-based pricing sounds fair — until your studio grows. More active clients means a bigger bill every month. At 100 clients you might pay $99/mo, but at 300 clients that jumps significantly.
Who's In Studio flips the model: free forever, regardless of how many clients you have. You only pay 2.7% when a client makes a paid booking. More clients, more classes, more instructors — same price: free.
📈 With TeamUp, success = higher bills. With Who's In Studio, success = more bookings at the same free price.

- • $99/mo for up to ~100 active clients
- • Price increases with each tier
- • No free tier to test with

- • Cost grows as you grow
- • Must commit before seeing ROI

Why Studios Switched from TeamUp
"TeamUp's per-client pricing meant my costs went up every time I gained a new member. With Who's In Studio, I stopped worrying about software costs and focused on teaching."
Nina S.
Yoga & Meditation Teacher
"I loved TeamUp's features but couldn't justify $99/mo when I was just starting out. Who's In Studio gave me the same scheduling and waitlist tools for free. Now I'm established and still not paying a subscription."
Tom B.
CrossFit Box Owner
"The WhatsApp notifications are a game changer. My clients actually see the waitlist alerts — unlike emails that go to spam. That alone was worth the switch from TeamUp."
Aisha W.
Pilates Studio Manager
