Arketa vs Momence (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 Momence if

• Fits if you run a yoga, Pilates, dance or cycling studio that sells memberships and class packs
• Works for teachers who sell on-demand video or teacher trainings beside live classes

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales: Momence quotes on a call, and its trial length isn't stated
• Not for you if your staff want their own phone app: the app is for clients, and staff use a mobile browser
• Pricey if you want an app under your studio's name, at $250 a month on top of the subscription
• Watch out: cards go through a new Stripe account at Stripe's fees, and automated bookkeeping for QuickBooks or Xero is $85 a month

Arketa

• The iOS and Android app is for clients; staff work in a mobile browser. A branded app under the studio's name costs $250 a month on top of the subscription.
