Our Verdict
Mindbody is the industry standard for large fitness studios and wellness businesses that want marketplace exposure through the Mindbody consumer app. However, at $139-699/month with no free plan and long contracts, it's expensive — especially for smaller studios. SchedulingKit offers a free plan, AI-powered features Mindbody lacks, and transparent month-to-month pricing, making it a better fit for businesses that don't need Mindbody's marketplace or POS.
Mindbody Pricing FAQs
How much does Mindbody cost per month?
Mindbody starts at $139/month (Starter), $279/month (Accelerate), $499/month (Ultimate), or $699/month (Ultimate Plus). There's no free plan or free trial. Payment processing fees (2.75% + $0.25) are charged on top.
Does Mindbody have a free plan?
No. Mindbody does not offer a free plan or a free trial. The lowest tier is $139/month. SchedulingKit offers a free forever plan with 2 team members and 100 bookings per month.
Is Mindbody worth the price?
For established studios with 100+ active members that benefit from Mindbody's consumer marketplace (the Mindbody app), the exposure can justify the cost. For smaller studios, solo practitioners, or businesses that don't need marketplace listing, the price is hard to justify when alternatives offer similar scheduling features for a fraction of the cost.
Can I cancel Mindbody anytime?
Mindbody typically requires annual contracts. Early termination may incur fees. Check your specific contract terms. SchedulingKit offers month-to-month billing with no long-term commitment.
What are Mindbody's hidden costs?
