Which one is for you
Pick Mindbody if
- Fits if you run a yoga, Pilates or fitness studio and want to be listed on a consumer booking app
- Works for brands with several locations that need corporate-level controls
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to try it on your own first: there's no free plan or self-serve trial, only a demo
- Not for you if you want a full price list, as Accelerate and Ultimate are only priced on a sales call
- Tight if you want automated email and text campaigns or the AI front desk, which need Ultimate
- Watch out: a branded client app is an add-on, and room booking and Pick-a-Spot need Accelerate or higher
Pick TeamUp if
- Fits if you run a group fitness studio or CrossFit box with a few hundred members
- Works for operators with several locations, since locations are unlimited on the one plan
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your member count grows: anyone who books or buys in a month counts, and above 500 it's $379
- Pricey if you want an app under your own name, at $99 a month on top
- Watch out: Marketing Suite and the Perform add-on cost extra, and their prices aren't on the pricing page
- Tight if you want time to decide, as the trial lasts 7 days and there's no free plan

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStarter is $79 a location a month and up, the only figure on the page, which is above this category's middle ($49.90). Accelerate and Ultimate have no published price, so the plans with marketing are priced only on a sales call. | C$119 a month for up to 100 active customers, which is where this category's dearer quarter starts. It rises to $189 for 101 to 200 and $379 above 500, with unlimited locations included. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free: no free plan and no self-serve trial. New customers start with a demo. | CNo free plan, but a 7-day free trial of all features. The listing doesn't say whether it needs a card, and a week is short to set up a studio. |
| Features | BClass and appointment scheduling with unlimited staff logins, memberships, packages, retail and payments, reports and a listing on the Mindbody app. Room booking, Pick-a-Spot, automated marketing and the AI front desk come on dearer plans. | BClasses, multi-week courses and appointments, memberships, packs and gift cards, waivers, online and in-person payments, staff schedules and pay rates, door access and family accounts. That's the whole job; bulk email automation is an extra. |
| Ease of use | BMindbody rates 4.6 on the US App Store from 23,558 ratings, which puts it at B on our ease ladder. | CNo app store rating on record. You set up classes, memberships, waivers, payments through Stripe or GoCardless, and staff pay rates before members book. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
