WellnessLiving vs Mindbody

The two all-in-ones that multi-service studios shortlist first, split by pricing philosophy. WellnessLiving publishes every core plan — Starter $69/mo (one staff member), Business $199, BusinessPro $349 with a white-label app — while Mindbody publishes only a $79/mo starting point and quotes Starter, Accelerate and Ultimate, with owners reporting $99–$499+ per location.

Higher score

WellnessLiving

The Mindbody alternative that publishes its prices — unlimited clients, AI agents and rewards, but a $69 plan built for one staff member.

Mindbody

Consumer reach and booking — opaque, quote-based pricing.

The verdict

Pick WellnessLiving if you want to know the price before the demo, need unlimited staff, rewards and asset booking at $199/mo, and want your own white-label app at a published $349. Pick Mindbody if its consumer marketplace (3M+ active app users) will genuinely fill your classes — that discovery is the one thing WellnessLiving’s Explorer directory does not match. On both, read the processing terms and contract before you sign.

Choose WellnessLiving if…

  • You want every core plan price published before a sales call
  • You book rooms, bikes or courts — Book-a-Spot asset reservations are built in
  • You want rewards, leaderboards, reviews synced to Google and AI insight (ISAAC) on your plan
