Pike13 vs Mindbody
A Jonas Software-backed multi-vertical platform against the category's best-known generalist. Pike13 publishes three tiers down to the dollar ($139-$249/mo), every one with unlimited staff and unlimited client profiles — price never scales with headcount. Mindbody publishes only a "from $79/mo" starting figure and quotes nearly everything else; owners report $99-$499+/mo once the plan and add-ons they actually need are included.

The verdict
Pick Pike13 if you run a studio, dance or martial arts school, or education business and want a price that will never rise just because your client list grows. Pick Mindbody if you need its large consumer marketplace for client discovery, which Pike13 does not attempt to compete with.
Choose Pike13 if…
- You want every tier published with zero client or staff caps, so growth never triggers a price jump
- You run a business outside pure fitness — dance, martial arts, tutoring — that Pike13 explicitly targets
- You want a free trial (7 days) before committing, with no sales call required to see pricing
Choose Mindbody if…
- You need Mindbody's large consumer marketplace for client discovery
- You want a well-reviewed branded consumer app without an extra setup-fee conversation
- You are prepared to negotiate pricing directly rather than work from a published ladder
