Which one is for you
Pick StudioBookings if
- Fits if you run a yoga or fitness studio and just want class booking
- Works for solo instructors who want to pay $25
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: cancelling deletes all your studio and member data
- Watch out: card payments need a Stripe account that charges its own fees
- Pricey if you grow, as price rises to $115 at 15 instructors
- Not for you if you need memberships billing or door access, as the listing shows neither
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there isn't one
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
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAStudioBookingsFair | 2.4GPATeamUpFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$25 a month for one instructor, $45 for up to five, with every feature included. That's the cheaper quarter of the category. | 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 | C14 days free with no card, and no free plan. | 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 | CClass booking, waitlists, waivers, promo codes, a studio app, reports and texts. It does that job fully, but it's a smaller job than a full studio suite. | 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 | CNo store rating on record, and class setup and Stripe connection take work. | CNo app store rating on record. You set up classes, memberships, waivers, payments through Stripe or GoCardless, and staff pay rates before members book. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb plus iOS and Android, with Stripe on record. No computer app. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with a Business API, Zapier, Stripe, GoCardless, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign and ClassPass. No desktop app. |

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.
