ClassFlow is the stronger operating system for a staffed physical or hybrid Pilates studio: machine maps, class programming, instructor delivery, member records, sales follow-up, billing operations, and AI-assisted Studio Work prepared for staff review stay connected beyond digital content and course delivery.
Official pricing and plans page was reviewed on July 13, 2026. Features, fees, and contract terms can change. Confirm your requirements in a current written quote from each vendor.
What it actually costs
The advertised price is not the price.
Entry tiers look cheap because the pieces you need most are sold separately. Here is what Arketa publishes, and what ClassFlow charges for the same job.
Arketa
Advertised
$49/mo (Individual, billed annually)
Individual allows one team member login and adds 3% on top of Stripe fees
Unlimited staff and multiple locations require a Studio tier — price not published
Branded app and website require the top Studio Suite tier — price not published
What you actually pay
$49 covers a solo instructor. Any studio with staff needs a demo-quoted Studio tier that is not published.
And then every card you take
3% on top of Stripe against Stripe alone at 2.9% + $0.30. Arketa states the Individual plan adds 3% "along with Stripe's fees", so card cost roughly doubles. Studio-tier rates are not published.
Card volume / month
Extra per year
$10,000
$3,600
$25,000
$9,000
$50,000
$18,000

ClassFlow
Advertised
$399/mo per studio
No tier upgrade to unlock spot booking, reporting, or the inbox
No per-module charge for marketing, texting, or the sales pipeline
All four Connect products included
What you actually pay
$399 per studio each month. One plan, every feature. No tiers, no modules, and no per-feature add-ons.
Usage-based provider costs (payment processing, managed email and SMS, billable AI) and one-time rollout work are scoped with you before activation — never billed as a feature you thought you already had.
First year: $4,788 for one studio, and every feature is in it. No tier to upgrade into and no module to unlock.

Linked competitor details come from the vendor's public product or pricing pages. An unlinked “Confirm current scope” cell means the capability was not verified from those sources, not that it is absent. Confirm plan, implementation, and regional boundaries directly with Arketa.
