Arketa vs Fitli (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Arketa if

• Fits if you're a solo yoga or fitness instructor selling live classes and on-demand video
• Works for boutique Pilates, yoga and spin studios willing to get a price on a demo

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you sell a lot on Individual, as each sale carries a 3% fee on top of Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30
• Tight if anyone helps you run classes, because Individual allows a single team member login
• Not for you if you want campaigns or a branded app without a sales call: they need Studio Growth and Studio Suite
• Skip it if you want a full price list, as only Individual is priced and the Studio plans are quoted on a demo
• Watch out: the trial's length isn't stated, and there's no free plan to fall back on

Pick Fitli if

• Fits if you run a US yoga or dance studio and want payments built in
• Works for teams of up to 10 that want every feature on one plan

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a trial without a card, as it needs one
• Watch out: Usio charges 2.9% plus $0.30 per card and 1.9% plus $0.30 per ACH
• Not for you if you're in Canada, as payments are US only
• Skip it if you want live email or accounting sync, as those run through CSV files
• Skip it if you want a phone app, as none is listed
