The best yoga studio software for most studios is WellnessLiving or Mindbody, with Momoyoga the pick for a teacher who wants a free plan built only for yoga. All of them handle class booking, class passes and payments; the real difference is what each one bills you for: a location, a staff seat, an active member or a flat plan.
That billing unit decides whether hiring a third teacher or passing 100 students raises your bill. Below are ten platforms ranked for yoga, the price each one publishes, what a branded student app adds, and the card and marketplace fees that sit outside the subscription.
What Yoga Studio Software Bills You For
Yoga studio software is a booking, membership and payments system for class-based studios. The structural split is the billing unit. Mindbody prices per location with unlimited users, WellnessLiving caps its Starter plan at one staff member, TeamUp prices by active customers, and Zen Planner counts only active members.
A studio with five part-time teachers and 80 regulars therefore pays very differently on each model. A seat-based plan punishes a large teaching roster, while a member-based plan punishes a busy drop-in crowd only when those visitors hold memberships. Zen Planner, for example, never counts pay-per-session attendees, prospects or staff.

Ten Platforms Ranked for Yoga Studios
The order weighs published pricing, yoga-specific tools (spot booking, workshops, teacher trainings, on-demand video) and how the bill behaves as a studio grows.
1. WellnessLiving: Clear List Prices for Multi-Teacher Studios
Price: Starter $69/mo, Business $199/mo, BusinessPro $349/mo (10% less billed annually) | Free plan: none | Branded app: BusinessPro | Billed by: plan, with a staff cap on Starter
WellnessLiving publishes every tier below Enterprise, which makes budgeting simple. Starter covers class and appointment booking, the Achieve client app, a staff app, POS and card processing and free data migration. Annual billing trims the three plans to $62, $179 and $314 a month.
The catch for yoga is the staff limit. Starter allows one staff member, so a studio with even two teachers lands on Business at $199 a month, which also adds rewards and loyalty, events scheduling, email and text marketing and lead management. A white-label version of the client app appears only on BusinessPro.
- Book-a-Spot lets students reserve a mat position.
- Enterprise adds multi-location reporting and cross-location visits.
- The card processing rate is not published.
2. Mindbody: The Marketplace Play With Unlimited Users
Price: per location, set with sales for Starter, Accelerate and Ultimate | Free plan: none | Branded app: add-on from Accelerate | Billed by: location
Mindbody charges per location and never per login, so a roster of ten teachers costs the same as two. Every plan includes booking, integrated payments, branded website widgets, a business website and a listing on the Mindbody app, which has 3M+ monthly users.
The trade-off is that tier prices come from a sales call, and the features yoga studios ask about most are tiered. Client Pick-a-Spot and room management start on Accelerate, automated email and text campaigns and the AI front desk sit on Ultimate, and the branded app is an add-on that Starter cannot buy at all.
3. Momoyoga: Built Only for Yoga, With a Real Free Plan
Price: Free, then EUR 34, 69 or 179 a month billed annually (excl. VAT) | Free plan: yes, plus a 14-day trial | Branded app: Custom plan | Billed by: flat plan
Momoyoga is the only platform here made just for yoga teachers and studios. The free plan already runs classes, events, payments, online teaching, video on demand and the free iOS and Android student app. It stops at two memberships or class passes and one paid ticket type per event.
Standard at EUR 34 removes those caps and adds waitlists, booking windows and donation payments. Plus at EUR 69 is the tier a growing studio needs, because recurring memberships, promo codes, branding and the Mailchimp integration live there. Prices are in euros and quoted per month on annual billing.
4. Zen Planner: Pay Only for Active Members
Price: Studio from $99/mo, Essentials from $198, Ultimate from $348 | Free plan: none stated | Branded app: $39/mo | Billed by: active members
Zen Planner bills on Active Members: anyone with a membership or who attended an event in the past month. Prospects, alumni, staff and pay-per-session attendees are never counted, and the bill adjusts itself each month. That suits a yoga studio whose traffic is heavy on drop-ins.
It runs month-to-month, with an annual contract only on request. The company started in 2006 under a martial arts school owner, which shows in extras such as belt and skill tracking. Essentials adds a website and Ultimate adds marketing automation and a CRM.
5. Momence: Room Maps and Heat-Limited Capacity in One Calendar
Price: quote only, built per studio | Free plan: none published; free trial | Branded app: optional, price not published | Billed by: not published
Momence, part of Xplor, builds its yoga setup around the room. Mat, heated classes, workshops, courses and privates share one calendar with room maps, capacity caps and automatic waitlists, and hot yoga studios can manage heat-limited capacity, mat spacing and turnaround between classes.
Students book, stream on-demand video and manage memberships in the free Momence app, and a custom-branded app with the studio name is optional. Staff roles, automated substitutions and payroll reporting sit in one dashboard, and the Momence team migrates data for switching studios.
6. TeamUp: Customer-Band Pricing for Small Studios
Price: $119/mo for 0-100 active customers | Free plan: none stated | Branded app: $99/mo | Billed by: active customer band
TeamUp sets the price with a slider of active customers, with bands at under 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 501 or more. A studio with up to 100 active customers pays $119 a month and gets memberships and packs, waivers, family accounts with shared memberships, a penalty system for late cancels and an AI Business Advisor.
Add-ons are priced in the open. The Custom Branded App is $99 a month with no setup fee and no cancellation fee, and the Marketing Suite is $109 a month. Each higher customer band raises the monthly price, so plan for the bill to step up as the studio grows.
7. Walla: Boutique-Only Software Priced per Location
Price: plans start at $299/mo per location; Core, Pro and Scale quote only | Free plan: none | Branded app: included from Pro | Billed by: location
Walla builds only for class and appointment studios such as yoga, Pilates, barre and cycling, and describes itself as trusted by “1,000+ locations across 46 states and Canada”. Every plan carries unlimited users, Book-a-Spot and waitlists, payroll and pay rate setup, and no booking fees for clients.
Core includes 2,000 texts a month and Scale raises that to 10,000. Pro adds the Marketing Suite, two-way texting, a branded studio app and video on-demand courses. At $299 per location it has the highest published entry price here, with multi-location pricing on request.
8. Glofox: Built to Scale From One Studio to Hundreds
Price: quote only, shown after a business details form | Free plan: none; free demo | Branded app: Branded Member App, price not published | Billed by: not published
Glofox, now branded ABC Glofox, is “Trusted by 30k+ studios & gyms worldwide” and serves class-led businesses from independent yoga studios to gym brands. Its yoga scheduler builds a weekly timetable with capacity per class across teachers and rooms, alongside memberships, packs and offers.
The pitch leans on retention: automated lead nurturing and trial conversion, failed-payment recovery, and community content shared through a branded member app. Multi-location yoga brands get centralised reporting and shared memberships, so it suits a studio with expansion plans.
9. Arketa: Solo Teachers With Video and Trainings to Sell
Price: Individual $49/mo billed annually; Studio plans quote only | Free plan: free trial on Individual | Branded app: Studio Suite | Billed by: plan
Arketa Individual covers one team member login and one location, with class and event scheduling, memberships, booking widgets and an unlimited on-demand video library. It suits a teacher who sells teacher trainings with payment plans, retreats and recorded classes from one storefront.
Individual carries a 3% transaction fee on top of Stripe fees, which matters as sales grow. Studio Core, Growth and Suite are priced on request and add unlimited team members, payroll reporting and, on Suite, a branded app that also displays on Apple TV and Roku. Studio plans renew annually.
10. Vagaro: Per-Calendar Pricing That Also Books Appointments
Price: $30/mo for one bookable calendar, rising per staff member | Free plan: free trial | Branded app: available, price not published | Billed by: staff calendar and location
Vagaro serves salons, spas and fitness businesses and lists yoga among its business types. The Just Me plan is $30 a month for one bookable calendar, with an introductory $23.99 for the first 6 months, and the price climbs as calendars are added from 2 to 7 or more.
It takes $0 from online bookings and includes a free Vagaro Marketplace listing, 1,000 free emails a month and booking through Instagram, Facebook and Apple Maps. Software cancels anytime without a fee, but the free card reader needs 12 months of Vagaro Merchant Services processing or a $150 early cancellation fee.
Yoga Features That Separate These Platforms
Generic gym tools handle memberships well but miss the details a yoga timetable runs on. These are the features worth testing in a demo or trial:
- Mat spot booking: WellnessLiving and Walla Book-a-Spot on every plan; Mindbody Pick-a-Spot from Accelerate.
- Donation classes: Momoyoga accepts donation payments from the Standard plan up.
- Teacher trainings and retreats: Arketa sells trainings with payment plans; Zen Planner schedules teacher training alongside workshops and privates.
- On-demand video: Momoyoga includes it free, Arketa offers an unlimited library, and TeamUp lists on demand programming.
- Class-pass networks: Momoyoga integrates with Urban Sports Club.
Momoyoga also runs a special offer for teacher training organisers and non-profits, which makes it worth a call for a studio whose main income is a training course rather than weekly classes.
What a Branded Student App Adds to Your Monthly Bill
Every platform gives students a shared booking app, but a studio-branded app in the App Store is almost always an upsell. Take a studio with three teachers and 90 active members that wants its own app:
- Zen Planner: Studio from $99 plus the $39 app add-on, so from $138 a month.
- TeamUp: $119 for the 0-100 band plus the $99 app, so $218 a month.
- WellnessLiving: BusinessPro at $349 a month, or $314 billed annually.
- Momoyoga: the Custom plan at EUR 179 a month on annual billing.
- Mindbody and Arketa: a quoted add-on (Mindbody from Accelerate), or bundled in Arketa Studio Suite.
- Walla: bundled from the Pro plan; Glofox, Momence and Vagaro offer one at an unpublished price.
The gap between $138 and $349 is wider than most core features justify. If students already book happily through a shared app or website widget, the branded app can wait until retention, not bookings, is the problem.
Card Fees, Platform Fees and Marketplace Commissions
The subscription is only part of the cost. Card processing runs on top, and a few platforms add a percentage of their own. Stripe, which Arketa and Momoyoga use, charges 2.9% plus $0.30 per card payment in the US.
- Momoyoga Free adds a 5% platform fee to every online payment; paid plans pay the Stripe fee only.
- Arketa Individual adds 3% per transaction on top of Stripe fees.
- Mindbody Payments charges a rate plus a fixed $0.10 to $0.30 per transaction, and a third-party processor is allowed.
- Mindbody app bookings from brand-new clients carry a 20% fee capped at $30, on the first purchase only.
- Vagaro takes $0 from online bookings, and Walla charges clients no booking fees.
- Zen Planner Payments and WellnessLiving processing are priced on request.
The Momoyoga numbers give a clean break-even. At 5%, the platform fee equals the EUR 34 Standard plan once online sales reach EUR 680 a month, so a teacher selling more than that saves money by upgrading. On Arketa Individual, $3,000 of monthly sales means $90 in platform fees before Stripe takes its cut.
Any platform that stores student cards should follow the card industry security standard maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council. For a wider view of processors and their rates, see these payment processors for small business.
How to Pick Yoga Studio Software for Your Studio
- Count teachers first. One teacher fits Momoyoga, Arketa Individual or WellnessLiving Starter; two or more rules out the WellnessLiving Starter plan.
- Count active members, not contacts. Zen Planner and TeamUp both scale with active students, so a list of 2,000 past drop-ins costs nothing extra.
- Decide whether marketplace bookings matter. Mindbody charges 20% of a new client’s first purchase through its app, capped at $30, while the Vagaro Marketplace listing is free.
- Price the branded app separately, from $39 on Zen Planner to a full plan change on WellnessLiving.
- Check the contract. Zen Planner is month-to-month and Arketa Studio plans renew annually.
If appointments matter as much as classes, a dedicated scheduler can sit beside your studio system; these booking tools for private sessions cover that side.
