Best for yoga studios paying per instructor
StudioBookings charges by instructor from $25 a month for one to $115 for 15 or more, with every feature in every plan. It's a class booking tool and nothing more, card payments need your own Stripe account, and cancelling deletes your members' data.
Who StudioBookings is for
- Fits if you run a yoga or fitness studio and just want class booking
- Works for solo instructors who want to pay $25
Who StudioBookings is not for
- 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
Why StudioBookings gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for money$25 a month for one instructor, $45 for up to five, with every feature included. That's the cheaper quarter of the category.
- CFree plan and trial14 days free with no card, and no free plan.
- CFeaturesClass 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.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and class setup and Stripe connection take work.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb plus iOS and Android, with Stripe on record. No computer app.

Keep StudioBookings, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace StudioBookings you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 58 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade. It costs $300 a year.
What you could make
- Class booking, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. StudioBookings’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is StudioBookings?
StudioBookings is booking and studio management software for yoga, Pilates, barre, dance and fitness studios. It handles online class booking and waitlists, class passes, waivers, staff logins, reports and a studio-branded iOS and Android app. Every feature is in every plan, and the price rises with the number of instructors.
Worth knowing
- The price rises with the number of instructors, from $25 for one to $115 for fifteen or more.

- The pricing page shows monthly prices only, with no annual discount stated.
Key features
