The best class booking software for small studios
A small studio here means one location, a weekly timetable of group classes and up to a couple of hundred people booking in a month. At that size the software bill matters, and so does how quickly you can set it up and get back to teaching. These are the tools small studios most often compare, priced for the same studio: 100 active customers a month making about 400 bookings.
We make Groopla, so it’s on the list. Every other price comes from the vendor’s own pricing page, checked on 25 October 2026 and linked below. Prices change, so check before you decide.

Groopla
Booking software for group classes, priced by the people who book in a month. Clients book from your link with their phone number and a texted code, so there’s no app or password for them. Every plan has waitlists, class packs and passes, card payments through your own Stripe account, deposits, and text and email reminders. Free up to 20 active customers, then from €25 / $29 a month (Solo), month to month.
It suits studios that run a weekly timetable and want every feature without a sales call. It has no branded app, no appointment booking for one-to-one services and no on-demand video.
Bookwhen
A simple booking page for classes, courses and events, priced by bookings a month. The free plan covers 50 bookings for free events; paid plans run from $16 to $59 a month before tax.
It suits workshops, courses and teachers who mostly need a public booking page. It’s built around events, so check how it handles class packs, monthly passes and waitlists before you move a weekly timetable onto it.
Punchpass
Class scheduling with passes and a video library, on three feature tiers from $59 to $149 a month, month to month, with no fee on top of Stripe’s.
It suits yoga and fitness teachers who also sell recorded classes. Recurring memberships, family accounts and saved cards aren’t on the $59 Grow plan.
Eversports Manager
Studio software popular in German-speaking Europe, priced by bookings a month: from €49 for up to 49 bookings to €229 for 1,500 or more, billed yearly, with a €99 setup fee.
It suits studios that want to be on the Eversports consumer marketplace in Austria, Germany and nearby countries. Busy months push you into a higher package, and yearly billing ties you in.
TeamUp
A long-standing studio and gym platform priced by active customers, with unlimited locations, month to month and no setup fee. A branded app is $99 a month extra.
It suits studios with several locations or ones that want a branded app. At $189 a month for 101–200 customers, it costs a small studio a lot more. See Groopla vs TeamUp.
Mindbody
The largest name in the market, covering classes, appointments, retail and a consumer app. Only the Starter price is published, per location; the plans with marketing and branded-app options are quoted.
It suits studios that also run spa or appointment services, or want to be found in the Mindbody app. The cost grows with every location and with the features you need. See Groopla vs Mindbody.
Momence
Studio software with strong marketing and on-demand content tools. Its pricing page asks you to book a demo for a quote.
It suits studios that want marketing automation in the same tool. You can’t compare the price until you’ve spoken to sales. See Groopla vs Momence.
Glofox
Gym and boutique fitness software from ABC, with plans from €220 to €515 a month and a capped number of text messages on each.
It suits gyms with access control, many members and a branded app. For a studio with a hundred regulars, €220 a month is a lot. See Groopla vs Glofox.
How to choose
- Price each tool at your size. Count the people who book in a typical month and the bookings they make, and work out each tool’s bill from its pricing page. Add setup fees and anything charged on top of card processing.
- Check what the cheapest plan leaves out. Memberships, waitlists and text reminders are often on higher tiers.
- Book a class as a client. If it takes your regulars more than a minute, or makes them download an app, some will message you instead.
- Prefer month-to-month plans, so you can leave if it doesn’t work out.
- Before you switch, decide how you’ll honour passes bought in your old system. Running both for a week makes the change easier.
