Mindbody review

Mindbody has the widest feature set for studios and gyms and one thing no rival matches: a listing on the Mindbody consumer app, which the company says reaches more than 3 million monthly shoppers. Starter costs $79 a month in North America and Asia and includes management tools, integrated payments, branded booking widgets, a customized website, the app listing and basic reporting, with unlimited users. Accelerate adds advanced analytics, room and resource management, Pick-a-Spot and promo codes. Ultimate adds automated email and text campaigns, a lead dashboard and AI Concierge, which answers client questions and missed calls. Only the entry price is published, so the higher plans need a sales call. When the app delivers a client new to your business, Mindbody takes 20% of the first purchase, capped at $30, and later bookings are commission-free. Mindbody Payments charges a rate plus $0.10 to $0.30 per transaction. The breadth also means more setup than lighter tools.
