Mindbody starts at $79 a month per location, and plan prices sit behind a sales call. Own StudioKit for $179 once.
Client records, online booking, memberships and class packs, except the code is yours, the data is yours, and you can see the whole price before you buy.
StudioKit replaces Mindbody for wellness, fitness, salon, and spa operators: a one-time $179 instead of paying from $79 per location/mo indefinitely, and you own the source code and the database. Keep Mindbody if you depend on the Mindbody app for member discovery, or you need turnkey multi-location enterprise features running today with no setup.
| Mindbody | StudioKit | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | from $79 per location/mo, forever | $179 once |
| Ownership | You rent a seat | Private repo, code is yours |
| Lock-in | Data + roadmap held by vendor | Your Supabase, full export anytime |
Why operators leave Mindbody
Six reasons that come up over and over.
- ×Plan prices are quote-only; the page shows only a "starting at $79" figure
- ×Pricing is per location, so a second studio is a second bill
- ×A new client's first purchase through the Mindbody app costs 20%, capped at $30
- ×Text and email reminders start at Accelerate; campaigns start at Ultimate
- ×A branded app is an add-on on Accelerate and Ultimate, with no price listed
- ×Data export is CSV, and a large-volume export service costs extra
The math, over time
Mindbody pricing is from $79 per location/mo, forever. StudioKit is $179 one time. Here's what that means at common operator lifetimes.
| Time horizon | Mindbody (starting price) | StudioKit | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | at least $948 | $179 | at least $769 |
| 3 years | at least $2,844 | $179 | at least $2,665 |
| 5 years | at least $4,740 | $179 | at least $4,561 |
Mindbody shows only "starting at $79 a month" and sends you to a sales call for Starter, Accelerate and Ultimate. Pricing is per location with unlimited users and no onboarding fee. Payments carry a fixed $0.10 to $0.30 per transaction plus a rate that is not published, and a new client's first purchase through the Mindbody app costs 20%, capped at $30. Starting price. Plan prices are quote-only ("Let's talk"). Priced per location, with no per-user fee. Source: mindbodyonline.com/business/pricing, read 2026-10-26. You pay your own hosting (Supabase free tier covers most small operators) + Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30c on payments. No platform middleman fees.

What's actually different
Feature parity is table stakes. The real shift is ownership.
No platform cut
Mindbody charges a fixed fee per transaction plus a rate it does not publish, and takes 20% of a new client's first purchase through its app, capped at $30. With StudioKit your customers pay your own Stripe account at Stripe's standard rate.
Multi-location without multi-bills
Adding a second location to your StudioKit deploy doesn't double your software bill. It's the same codebase serving multiple locations from one Supabase project (or fork the repo per location if you prefer isolation).
Branded customer experience
Your booking page lives at your domain with your branding. No "Powered by Mindbody" chrome. Your customers see your studio's identity, not a marketplace platform's.
Build the experience you want
Want intake forms to ask about injuries before yoga class? Add fields. Want to gate certain class times to members only? Edit the booking logic. Want SMS reminders 2 hours before, not 24? Change one number.
How switching works
Most operators take 2-3 weeks end to end. We handle the data migration; you handle the customer-facing brand polish.
- 1
Export from Mindbody
Mindbody's data export pulls client records, class schedules, membership data, and transaction history. Some custom fields may need manual mapping. Schedule the export for a low-traffic period.
- 2
Buy StudioKit + Migration Setup
Migration Setup ($499 one-time) handles the export → StudioKit import pipeline, dedupe, membership tier mapping, class catalog port, and end-to-end smoke test. 5-7 business days.
- 3
Brand + configure
Customize the public homepage with your studio's aesthetic, point your domain at the deploy, set up your class catalog, configure your membership tiers, and integrate Stripe for direct payment.
- 4
Parallel run for two weeks
Direct new bookings to StudioKit. Let existing Mindbody memberships continue to expire naturally (or import the recurring schedules directly via the Migration Setup service). After a clean two-week run, cancel Mindbody.
Questions we hear
My members are used to the Mindbody app. Will they need a new one?+
StudioKit is a web app your members can add to their phone home screen under your own branding. It is not a native app-store app, so if a branded store app matters to you, Mindbody sells that as an add-on.
What about my recurring memberships?+
Migration Setup ports recurring memberships to Stripe subscriptions billed directly to your account. The transition is one-time work; once the Stripe subscription is live, recurring charges flow through Stripe (you keep more of each charge since the platform middleman is gone).
What does it cost ongoing?+
StudioKit is $179 one-time. Recurring: Supabase ($0 to $25 a month for most studios), Vercel ($0 to $20), Resend ($0 to $20) and Twilio for SMS reminders (about $15 to $50 depending on volume). Stripe takes its standard rate per payment. Mindbody starts at $79 a month per location, with plan prices only on a sales call.
Multi-location, do I need 2 deploys?+
No. One StudioKit deploy serves multiple locations from the same Supabase. Each location has its own booking page, its own class catalog, its own staff schedules, all sharing the same member database. Some operators prefer per-location forks for full isolation; both patterns are supported.
Can my front-desk staff still use this without learning to code?+
Absolutely. The day-to-day dashboard is point-and-click, same patterns as Mindbody for booking, check-in, member lookup. Code only comes into play for deeper customization, which Migration Setup handles for you up front.
What about classpass / external booking platform integrations?+
Classpass requires the studio to be on Classpass's integration list. StudioKit's API surface allows building these integrations on a per-platform basis (Custom Build service). Some external booking platforms accept iCal/webhook integrations directly, which StudioKit supports out of the box.
