Arketa alternatives in India: studio software priced in rupees

Last verified: 25 September 2026

Arketa alternatives in India need more than a price comparison. An independent yoga teacher, a Pilates studio with numbered reformers and a wellness brand selling videos may need different plans and member experiences. Start with your team, locations and booking formats, then test Indian billing.

We make StudioFly. Its rupee plans, CRM, GST billing, product inventory and branch reporting are compared below with Arketa’s documented workflows. Preview AI tools, custom quotes and plan differences remain labelled so you can assess what is available to your studio today.

Arketa is a trademark of its owner. StudioFly is not affiliated with or endorsed by Arketa. Other product names on this page belong to their owners.

Choose StudioFly if

  • You want published rupee plans and GST invoicing, with UPI through Razorpay on the eligible plan
  • You want CRM, products, classes and branch performance in one workspace
  • Your members can use a browser portal and book any available place in a class

Look elsewhere if

  • You need family sharing and parents booking for children
  • Your clients must choose a numbered spot or use a branded mobile app
  • ClassPass roster sync and on-demand recordings are buying requirements
PRICING

What each one publishes.

Arketa

  • Viewed from India, Individual is shown as $49/mo, billed annually (save 17%), plus 3% transaction fee and Stripe fees.1
  • Studio Core, Studio Growth and Studio Suite each show Custom, with a demo required for pricing.1
  • Individual lists one team-member login and one location; Studio lists unlimited team members and locations. No numerical Studio quote basis is specified here.1
  • The pricing FAQ says plans renew month to month unless an annual plan is selected, and users can upgrade or downgrade.1
  • Recommended add-ons include Branded Mobile App, Marketing Suite, Branded Website, Accounting and Bookkeeping; numerical prices are not shown in that list.1

StudioFly (India)

  • Growth: ₹1,999 a month, or ₹19,999 a year
  • Pro: ₹2,999 a month, or ₹29,999 a year
  • Enterprise: ₹44,999 a year; monthly billing on request
  • Prices exclude GST. Every plan includes one location and unlimited members, with a 7-day free trial in India. See pricing
HOW TO COMPARE

Five questions worth asking.

  1. Are you buying an individual or studio plan?

    Ask which plan fits your staff and locations, then get the subscription, transaction charges and add-ons together in writing.

  2. Do invoice fields match your Indian business?

    Inspect an actual sample invoice, including your tax identifiers and the required tax split. A configurable tax name alone does not answer this.

  3. How should a full class release its next place?

    Test waitlist eligibility, credit availability and booking limits with your own memberships. Map selection and joining a queue are separate requirements.

  4. Does your marketing package include the tools?

    Distinguish email or SMS allowances from access to campaigns, lead pipelines and automated workflows. Ask for the exact entitlement on your quote.

  5. Is the AI tool ready for your daily workflow?

    Check whether it is a preview, whether it only reads data, and whether it can take actions. Ask what access and future charges apply.

THE ALTERNATIVES

Options worth comparing.

StudioFly

  • Every plan’s price and what it includes is published: Growth, Pro and Enterprise in rupees, with a 7-day free trial in India, no card needed and no setup fee.
  • One workspace for members, leads and CRM, classes, GST billing, WhatsApp reminders and campaigns, email campaigns, and products and inventory. CRM and product management are on every plan; WhatsApp Business API on your own number and Email Marketing Premium are included on Enterprise.
  • UPI, cards and netbanking through Razorpay (Pro and Enterprise; add-on on Growth); GST invoices with GSTR-1 export on every plan.
  • Owners see every location from one login, with a Location Performance view by branch; extra locations are paid add-ons. The Full Website API (Enterprise, or an add-on on Pro) takes bookings and sales on your own website.
  • AI Business Pack: AI insights, a business assistant and a WhatsApp AI agent (Enterprise, or an add-on on Growth and Pro).
  • Email, ticket and phone support on every plan. Tickets get an AI reply around the clock, and a person replies within 2 business hours. Enterprise adds a dedicated customer success manager for onboarding, training and handholding.
  • There’s no consumer marketplace and no choice of a particular machine, and the mobile apps are coming soon.

Consider StudioFly for published rupee pricing and connected studio operations; choose another option if a branded app, family accounts or numbered equipment is essential today.

StudioFly in India

Momence

  • Momence's pricing page, viewed from India, publishes no plans or prices: it asks studios to talk to sales. Pricing is quote-only.22
  • Momence has a WhatsApp integration: the studio provisions a phone number (choosing its country) through Twilio's regulatory form, connects Meta, and then gets a WhatsApp tab in its Inbox and Marketing Templates.23
  • Clients choose their exact reformer, mat position or bike from a room map, and each class is capped to the equipment count.24
  • Momence has an on-demand video library and LMS courses, sold alone or bundled with memberships.25

  • Insights gives one unified dashboard across locations with drill-down into each location, comparing sales, memberships and utilisation.28

Consider Mariana Tek for a branded app and equipment-based classes across locations; confirm Indian payment eligibility.

ABC Glofox

  • Essential and Boost list three optional add-ons (ABC XLerate automated sales engagement, a Custom Branded Member App, ABC Insights Multi-Location Analytics); Elite includes XLerate and the branded app, with ABC Insights still optional. No add-on prices are shown.29
  • Spot Booking (help article dated 28 July 2026) lets members reserve a specific spot, such as a bike, mat or reformer, on an interactive room map in the member app and web portal, and change it before class.30
  • Family accounts let a parent or guardian buy memberships and book for child accounts from the dashboard, app or web portal; the feature is enabled by the onboarding manager or support and is not on all packages.31

IN FAIRNESS

Where Arketa is the better choice.

Parent-managed family bookings

Family sharing supports shared packages and memberships, parent booking and waivers for children.20

Room maps and conditional waitlists

With spot booking enabled, clients choose a spot from a room map at checkout; staff can assign or change spots. Clients can join a full class through Join Waitlist; automatic and manual filling are documented. Automatic waitlisting requires Package and Subscription payment only, a connected pricing option and valid payment method or credit; it respects booking limits.10,11,12

A branded app and video delivery

Studio Suite lists a custom branded mobile app for iOS and Android; a branded app is also a recommended add-on. The client help page directs members to the App Store or Google Play under their studio name; booking, video, communities and account management are described.

SWITCHING

Moving from Arketa to StudioFly.

A realistic plan, step by step. Nothing here needs to happen in a hurry.

  1. Export what you have

    Export the client list from Customers → Clients, then download booking and attendance CSVs from Analytics → Reports. Reconcile active memberships, credits, balances and recurring payments separately; a client export is not a transfer of every record. Contact Arketa support to pause or cancel. Its refund policy permits review of requests but does not promise a refund after a trial ends. (Sources 33, 34, 5, 35, checked 25 Sep 2026.)

  2. Set up StudioFly

    Create your class types, recurring classes, membership plans, packs and staff roles, so the structure is ready before members arrive.

  3. Import your members

    Bring member records across with a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) import, and check the imported records before you use them.

  4. Plan payments

    Saved cards and recurring set-ups usually can’t be moved between payment providers, so plan how members will pay their next fee through StudioFly.

  5. Choose a switch date

    Pick a quiet week, tell members the date and what changes for them, and move bookings over on that day. How long it takes depends on your member count, your plans and how much history you move.
