Best Mindbody Alternatives (2026)
Seven studio and gym platforms that publish their prices, ranked by our independent score, next to what Mindbody owners report paying.
Most owners who look for a Mindbody alternative give the same reasons: there is no published price list beyond a $79/mo starting point, owners report paying $99 to $499+ a month per location once they are on Starter, Accelerate or Ultimate, the branded app is an extra, and processing rates are not published. Every platform below publishes at least its core pricing, so you can compare before you take a sales call.

Columns are monthly cost at that many members.
Monthly subscription only, sorted by cost at the middle column; add-ons and card processing are extra. Figures come from the fee data behind each review’s calculator. ~ marks an estimate: either the vendor publishes no full price list (we model a typical reported figure) or the plan depends on more than roster size. Mindbody is modeled at a typical reported mid-tier figure.

What you give up
Mindbody’s consumer marketplace still sends some studios new clients. If a meaningful share of your bookings come through the Mindbody app, check that number before you switch, and budget for marketing to replace it.
