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. - **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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** 14 days free with no card, and no free plan. - **Features: C.** Class 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and class setup and Stripe connection take work. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web plus iOS and Android, with Stripe on record. No computer app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from StudioBookings's own pages on 13 November 2026.

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. - You could make: Class booking, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
