The real cost: beyond the monthly fee
The monthly subscription is only part of the picture. Watch for:
- Transaction fees: On $5,000/month in payments, Momence's 3.9% costs $195/month vs. Bookamat's 0.50% at $25.00 — a $2,040/year difference
- Per-location fees: Mindbody charges $129+ per additional location. A 3-location studio pays $387+/month just for the base subscription
- Add-on features: Branded apps, advanced reporting, and marketing tools often cost extra with Mindbody and Momence
- Annual contracts: Glofox and some Mindbody plans lock you into 12-month contracts

What should you pay?
Rule of thumb
For a small to medium yoga or Pilates studio, you should expect straightforward pricing that scales with your active clients and market, without feature gates or surprise add-ons. If you're paying enterprise-level rates, you're likely overpaying for features built for large franchises.
