Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 58 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about StudioBookings, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and class setup and Stripe connection take work.
- 1
Best for yoga studios paying per instructor
It's a class booking tool and nothing more, card payments need your own Stripe account, and cancelling deletes your members' data.
- 2
Paid plans start at $25 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $25 per month for 1 instructor.
- 3
You can try it first
14 days free, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Class booking and waitlists
Members book classes online, join waitlists and buy class passes, and staff see attendance at a glance.
- 6
Waivers and promo codes
Online liability waivers, promo codes, class notes and health reminders come with every plan.
- 7
Logins for staff and members
Staff logins with permissions, instructor rates and individual member logins, plus parent-to-child sharing.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 58 of 85
That is against the other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Solo yoga and Pilates teachers on a $25 plan
- Small studios that want every feature without tiers
- Studios outside the US, since it lists customers in over 40 countries
Worth knowing
- The price rises with the number of instructors, from $25 for one to $115 for fifteen or more.
- Cancelling deletes all the studio's and members' data, so it must be re-entered to rejoin.
- Card payments need a Stripe merchant account, which charges its own per-transaction fee.
- The pricing page shows monthly prices only, with no annual discount stated.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
