Mindbody offers a broad fitness platform, marketplace distribution, and a large integration ecosystem. ClassFlow is the Pilates-focused alternative to evaluate for studio-owned workout programming, instructor delivery, operator-reviewed AI work, and a published $399 core price.
Official fitness business page was reviewed on October 6, 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 Mindbody publishes, and what ClassFlow charges for the same job.
Mindbody
Advertised
$79/mo per location (Starter)
Spot booking (Client Pick-a-Spot) and room management require Accelerate — price not published
Email and text campaigns plus the sales pipeline require Ultimate — price not published
Branded mobile app is a separate add-on — price not published
What you actually pay
Starter is $79/month per location. Mindbody does not publish Accelerate or Ultimate prices, so a like-for-like total requires a current quote for the tier and add-ons the studio needs.
Starter pricing, tier gating, and the branded-app add-on are from Mindbody's official business pricing page, reviewed October 2026. Pricing changes — confirm current terms before signing.
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 Mindbody.
