7 Best Yoga Studio Software in 2026: Pricing, Features and Pros & Cons

Quick comparison

The best yoga studio software

#1

Vagaro

Best for: Yoga studios that want the most complete booking, payments and marketing toolkit at the lowest monthly price

★★★★★★★★★★4.6/5 on G2 (393 reviews, checked Nov 2026)

Visit vagaro.com

Starting price$30/month (1 bookable calendar; $23.99/month for the first 6 months for new customers)

Free planNo — 30-day free trial

Vagaro is the best fit for most yoga studios because it packs the whole job into the cheapest full subscription here. One bookable calendar costs $30 a month and covers online booking for classes and appointments, client records, POS, payment processing and email marketing, plus a marketplace listing. The price grows by $10 a month per extra calendar and caps at $85 a month for seven or more.

The trade-off is the add-on shelf. Text marketing, the website builder and the branded app each cost extra, so a studio that wants all three pays well above the headline price. The $23.99 rate is also an introductory price for the first six months; the list price is $30. Buy Vagaro for the most complete toolkit at the lowest monthly price; buy Fresha when the budget is tighter.

What we like

• Lowest-priced full toolkit here: class and appointment booking, POS, client records and marketing from $30/month
• Price caps at $85/month for 7 or more calendars, so a growing team stops paying per person
• Marketplace listing puts the studio in front of clients searching nearby, at no extra subscription cost
• No per-booking commission on the subscription itself; card processing is 2.2% to 3.5% per transaction

Watch out for

• Each extra calendar costs $10/month, so a 4-instructor studio pays $60/month, not $30
• Text marketing, the website builder and the branded app are paid add-ons, not included
• The $23.99 rate is an introductory price for the first 6 months; the list price is $30/month

#2

Fresha

Best for: Solo yoga teachers and small studios that want marketplace discovery and will accept a commission on new clients

Visit fresha.com

Starting price$19.95/month (Independent, 1 bookable team member; Team $14.95/month per bookable team member)

Free planNo — 7-day free trial

Fresha is the cheapest way into yoga studio software, and the marketplace is the reason to pick it. Independent costs $19.95 a month for one bookable team member and covers online booking, POS, client management, memberships, packages and gift cards. Team pricing drops to $14.95 a month per bookable team member, so a four-instructor studio pays $59.80 a month.

The catch is that Fresha is no longer free, despite what older roundups still say: the subscription-free era ended in 2025. On top of the subscription, Fresha takes a 20% commission on new clients found through its marketplace, with a $6 minimum, and phone support costs $14.95 a month extra on Independent. Pick Fresha when the studio is small and wants new students to find it.

What we like

• Cheapest starting price in this list at $19.95/month for a solo teacher
• Large consumer marketplace brings new students who search and book inside the Fresha app
• Team pricing falls to $14.95 per bookable team member, so a 4-instructor studio pays $59.80/month
• Memberships, packages, gift cards and deposits are included without a higher tier

Watch out for

• Fresha is no longer free: the subscription-free era ended in 2025, so budget the monthly fee
• A 20% commission applies to new clients found through the marketplace, with a $6 minimum
• Phone support costs $14.95/month extra on the Independent plan; reporting is basic

#3

Square Appointments

Best for: Yoga studios that already take card payments through Square and want booking inside the same system

Visit squareup.com

Starting priceFree (Free plan; Plus $49/month per location)

Free planYes — Free plan ($0, 1 location, unlimited staff calendars)

Square Appointments is the only genuinely free plan in this list, and the natural pick for a studio that already takes cards through Square. Free costs $0 for one location and includes a booking website, unlimited staff calendars, text and email reminders, deposits, prepayments and invoices. Booking, payments and POS live in one Square account, so there is no separate processor to set up.

The free plan's gap is classes: running a class timetable, no-show fees, the waitlist and Google Calendar sync all need Plus at $49 a month per location, and Premium at $149 adds resource management for rooms and mats. Card processing runs 2.6% plus $0.15 in person on Free. Start on Square when the studio already runs on it, and budget Plus from the day classes start.

What we like

• A genuinely free plan with unlimited staff calendars and no monthly subscription fee
• Booking, payments and POS live in one Square account, so no separate processor is needed
• Plus at $49/month per location adds no-show fees, waitlist, classes and Google Calendar sync
• Card rates fall with the plan, from 2.6% plus $0.15 in person on Free to 2.4% on Premium

Watch out for

• Classes, no-show fees and the waitlist all need Plus at $49/month per location; the free plan cannot run a class timetable
• Paid plans are priced per location, so a second studio doubles the subscription
• Yoga-specific marketing and membership tools are thinner than on the class-first tools here

#4

WellnessLiving

Best for: Multi-instructor yoga studios that want published prices, rewards and loyalty built in

★★★★★★★★★★4.5/5 on G2 (197 reviews, checked Nov 2026)

Visit wellnessliving.com

Starting price$69/month (Starter, 1 staff member; $62/month billed annually; Business $199/month)

Free planNo — demo only

WellnessLiving is the transparent alternative to Mindbody. Every standard tier price is published: Starter $69, Business $199 and BusinessPro $349 a month, with annual billing about 10% lower. Starter covers classes and appointment booking, the Achieve client app, the Elevate staff app, POS and automated notifications, plus free data migration from the old system.

The catch is headcount. Starter covers exactly one staff member, so the day a second instructor needs a login, the studio jumps to Business at $199 a month — nearly triple the entry price. Marketing tools, lead management and events also start on Business, and the white-label app needs BusinessPro. Choose WellnessLiving when the studio wants open pricing and rewards built in.

What we like

• Every standard tier price is published openly: Starter $69, Business $199, BusinessPro $349
• Rewards and loyalty are built in from Business, so regular students earn points without an add-on
• Free data migration on every tier, including Starter
• Client and staff apps, POS and automated notifications are included on Starter

Watch out for

• Starter covers exactly one staff member, so a second instructor forces the jump to Business at $199/month
• Marketing tools, lead management and events start on Business, not Starter
• The white-label client app needs BusinessPro at $349/month, and the custom website is a paid add-on on every tier

#5

Mindbody

Best for: Yoga studios that sell classes and memberships and want marketplace exposure

★★★★★★★★★★3.7/5 on G2 (519 reviews, checked Nov 2026)

Visit mindbodyonline.com

Starting price$99/month (Starter, per location)

Free planNo — demo only

Mindbody is the pick when the studio is really a class business that sells memberships. Starter costs $99 a month per location and covers scheduling, POS, online payments, unlimited users and branded website widgets, plus a listing in the Mindbody consumer app. Class scheduling, packages and passes are the core of the product, not an add-on, and the reporting runs deep.

The weaknesses are price transparency and the review record. Only the Starter price is published; the higher tiers need a sales quote, and quoted Starter prices are often reported above $99 once features are scoped. Mindbody also carries the lowest G2 score in this list at 3.7 out of 5, with reviewers citing price rises and billing friction. Choose Mindbody for classes and memberships.

What we like

• Strongest class and membership handling here, built for studios that sell class packs and passes
• Unlimited users on every plan, so front-desk headcount never raises the subscription
• Large consumer marketplace lists the studio to millions of app users looking for classes
• Deep reporting and integrations suit multi-service wellness businesses, not just single-service studios

Watch out for

• Priced per location, so a second studio doubles the bill before any add-on
• Only the Starter price is published; the higher tiers need a sales quote
• Lowest G2 score in this list at 3.7 out of 5, with reviewers citing price rises and billing friction

#6

Zen Planner

Best for: Class-based yoga studios whose bill should follow member count, not instructor count

★★★★★★★★★★4.2/5 on G2 (104 reviews, checked Nov 2026)

Visit zenplanner.com

Starting price$99/month (Studio, up to 45 active members; Essentials from $198/month)

Free planNo — demo only

Zen Planner is the pick when the studio's bill should follow its students, not its teachers. Studio starts at $99 a month for up to 45 active members and covers membership management, online scheduling, member self-service and attendance tracking, with every Studio feature included on every plan. Prospects and instructors are never charged, and the bill adjusts automatically as the member count moves.

The catch is the add-on stack. A website costs another $99 a month, marketing automation (Engage) $249 a month, and the branded member app $39 a month, so the full setup runs well above $99. The price also climbs with members, reaching $289 a month above 250. Pick Zen Planner when the studio is class-based and the teaching team is large.

What we like

• Billing follows active members, not staff: prospects and instructors are never charged
• Month-to-month billing with no long-term commitment, and the bill adjusts automatically as member count moves
• Every plan includes 100% of Studio's features, so there is no feature tier to climb into
• Strong fit for class-based studios: scheduling, attendance tracking and member self-service are the core

Watch out for

• Studio starts at $99/month for up to 45 members, then climbs to $289/month above 250 members
• The website ($99/month) and marketing automation ($249/month) are separate products, not included in Studio
• Branded member app costs $39/month extra, and payment processing rates are not published on the pricing page

#7

ABC Glofox

Best for: Boutique yoga studios planning multi-location growth that want a polished member app

★★★★★★★★★★4.5/5 on G2 (147 reviews, checked Nov 2026)

Visit glofox.com

Starting price$99/month (plans starting at $99/month; exact tier prices by quote)

Free planNo — demo only

ABC Glofox is the boutique pick in this list, built for studios where the member experience is part of the service. Plans start at $99 a month, and the platform covers class scheduling, memberships, payments and a branded member app, with multi-location configuration for studios planning a second site. Reviewers rate it 4.5 out of 5 on G2, the highest score among the class-first tools here.

The weakness is price transparency. Only the $99 starting figure is published; Essential, Boost and Elite all need a sales quote, and billing is quarterly or annually with no monthly option. Recent G2 reviewers also report price increases of up to 70% after signing. Choose Glofox when the studio is boutique or planning multi-location growth, and get the quote in writing.

What we like

• Purpose-built for boutique fitness and yoga studios, with a clean interface reviewers rate highly
• Branded member app and multi-location configuration are built for studios planning to grow past one site
• Highest G2 score among the class-first tools here at 4.5 out of 5
• No published onboarding fee, and the plans page lists no hidden fees

Watch out for

• Exact tier prices need a sales quote; only the $99 starting figure is published
• Billed quarterly or annually with no monthly billing option
• Recent G2 reviewers report price increases of up to 70% after signing, so get the quote in writing

The best yoga studio software does more than take bookings: it runs the class timetable, the till, the membership list and the reminders in one place, so a small team spends the day teaching instead of chasing admin. We ranked the seven tools below by fit for the most common buyer — a single-location yoga studio with a small team — starting with the cheapest complete options and ending with the class-first ones, and every price was checked on the vendor's own pricing page on November 10, 2026.

How to choose the best yoga studio software

• Work out the pricing unit first. Vagaro charges per bookable calendar, Fresha per team member, Mindbody and Square Appointments per location, WellnessLiving per staff member and Zen Planner per active member. The unit decides the real bill.
• Count the instructors on the plan you would actually buy. A 4-instructor studio pays $59.80 a month on Fresha Team, $60 on Vagaro, $99 on Zen Planner Studio and $199 on WellnessLiving Business — four very different bills from four similar headline prices.
• Check whether classes are included. Mindbody, Zen Planner and ABC Glofox are built around class timetables; Square Appointments needs Plus at $49 a month before it can run classes at all.
• Check the marketplace fee, not just the subscription. Fresha takes 20% of a new marketplace client's first booking. A studio that gains many new students through a marketplace can pay more in commissions than in subscription fees.
• Try the booking flow as a student. Book a class on the trial, cancel it, and rebook it. If the flow feels clumsy to you, it will feel clumsy to your students too.

A studio also needs to be found online, not just booked. Our guide to fitness studio software covers the wider class-led side, and before you publish new class pages, run your titles through the free SERP snippet preview tool — it shows exactly how the title and description will look in Google.

Whatever you shortlist, try it with real classes before you pay. The trials in this list run 7 to 30 days, which is long enough to run one genuine week — your classes, your instructors, your students — and that week tells you more than any review can. Check two things in the trial: that online booking works from a phone without a phone call, and that the reminder system actually sends. Every tool here sends automated reminders, so there is no reason to buy before you have seen one arrive.

Yoga studio software pricing: what you will actually pay

Take a 4-instructor studio at one location that takes most payments in person. On list prices, the subscription costs $49 a month on Square Appointments Plus, $59.80 on Fresha Team, $60 on Vagaro, $99 on Mindbody Starter, $99 on Zen Planner Studio for up to 45 active members, $99 on ABC Glofox at its starting figure, and $199 on WellnessLiving Business — because Starter covers only one staff member.

Over a year, that is $588 on Square Appointments Plus, $717.60 on Fresha Team, $720 on Vagaro, $1,188 on Mindbody Starter, $1,188 on Zen Planner Studio, $1,188 on ABC Glofox at its starting figure, and $2,388 on WellnessLiving Business. The same four instructors and the same one location cost $588 a year at the cheap end and $2,388 at the dear end — a $1,800 gap that comes from the pricing unit, not from features.

Three costs sit outside every number above. First, card processing: in-person rates run from 2.2% on Vagaro and 2.29% on Fresha to 2.6% on Square Free, plus a per-transaction fee on every sale. Second, marketplace commissions: 20% of a new client's first booking on Fresha. Third, the add-ons: phone support on Fresha Independent, the website and marketing automation on Zen Planner, and the white-label app on WellnessLiving all sit outside the headline price. If the studio also sells online classes, the comparison changes — see our guide to online yoga class platforms for the video-led side.

Annual billing cuts the bill on some tools here: WellnessLiving Starter drops from $828 to $744 a year, and Vagaro, Fresha, Square Appointments, Mindbody, Zen Planner and ABC Glofox publish no annual discount, so the monthly figure is the whole story. One more cost to check before you commit: a second location is a second subscription on Mindbody, Square Appointments and Zen Planner, so price the second studio before you commit to a tool for the first.

Know the difference: yoga studio software vs a booking app

The confusion in this category is between a tool that takes appointments and a tool that runs the studio. A booking app only fills the calendar; yoga studio software adds class timetables, memberships and class packs, client records, POS and payments, marketing and reporting in one system. All seven tools in this list do the full job, which is why they cost more than a simple booking link — and why a teacher who only needs a calendar should look at a cheaper booking-only tool instead.

There is a second, quieter confusion: marketplace tools and own-brand tools. Fresha and Mindbody bring new students through their consumer marketplaces, and charge for that discovery — Fresha with a 20% commission on new marketplace clients. WellnessLiving, Zen Planner and ABC Glofox put students on the studio's own branded booking page instead, so the studio keeps the relationship and pays no commission. Neither model is better in itself; the question is whether the studio wants to buy discovery or own the student relationship.

A third distinction worth knowing is the pricing unit. Two tools can both advertise about $99 a month and cost very different amounts for the same studio: Mindbody at $99 covers one location with unlimited users, while Zen Planner at $99 covers up to 45 active members, and WellnessLiving at $69 covers just one staff member. Always price the tool for your actual team size, member count and location count before comparing headline prices.

Quick comparison: tool type by need

Mistakes to avoid

• Budgeting on the headline price alone. A $69 tool can cost $199 a month once the team is counted. Price the tool for your actual headcount and member count, not for one person.
• Forgetting the marketplace commission. Fresha's 20% applies to new clients found through the marketplace. A studio that gains many new students that way can pay more in commissions than in subscription fees.
• Calling Fresha free. Fresha ended its subscription-free era in 2025. Independent now costs $19.95 a month in the US, and older articles that call it free are out of date.
• Buying on the annual price, then paying monthly. WellnessLiving Starter is $62 a month billed annually but $69 month to month. Compare tools on the billing cycle you will actually use.
• Paying for a second location before you need it. Mindbody, Square Appointments and Zen Planner all charge per location. Price the second studio before you commit to a tool for the first.

How we chose

We checked each vendor's own pricing page on November 10, 2026 and recorded the starting price exactly as shown, including the annual-billing figure where the page lists one, and we ranked the tools by fit for the most common buyer — a single-location yoga studio with a small team — not by brand size. Two notes on the numbers: Mindbody's site shows a $79 figure in some placements, but its pricing page lists Starter from $99 a month per location, so $99 is the figure we lead with. Ratings are shown only where a fresh G2 page gave a clear score and review count on November 10, 2026: Vagaro, WellnessLiving, Mindbody, Zen Planner and ABC Glofox. Fresha and Square Appointments carry no rating here because their G2 listings rest on three reviews and one review respectively — too thin to mean anything. No vendor paid for a place in this list, and none of the links here are affiliate links.

What to do next

Start with the free plan or trial of your top pick and run one real week of classes through it. Check that students can book from a phone without calling, that reminders arrive, and that the till balances at the end of the day before you commit to a year. If the classes are sorted but new students are not finding you, our local SEO service handles the visibility side — or compare providers in our guide to fitness studio software.
