Mindbody alternatives for studios in India

Last verified: 24 September 2026

Mindbody covers a lot, but it isn’t set up for every studio. In India, the gaps that matter most are rupee pricing, UPI, GST invoices and WhatsApp. On 24 Sep 2026, Mindbody’s pages listed none of the four for India.

This page lists alternatives worth comparing, with what each one publishes about pricing and India. Every fact is sourced and dated. StudioFly is one of the options, and we say where others may suit you better.

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

Choose StudioFly if

  • Your studio is in India and you want published rupee pricing and a self-serve free trial
  • Members pay by UPI, and you invoice with GST
  • Fee and renewal reminders on WhatsApp matter to you

Look elsewhere if

  • You want a consumer marketplace: stay with Mindbody
  • You run a spa or salon alongside fitness at scale: look at Zenoti
  • You bill outside India in USD, GBP or AUD: look at Mindbody, Momence or Glofox
PRICING

What each one publishes.

Mindbody

  • For reference: Mindbody’s US page says plans start at $79 USD a month per location (viewed from the US; $99 when viewed from India on 24 Sep 2026). The UK page starts at £89 and the Australia page at A$89.1,2,3,4

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. Pricing you can see

    Is there a published price in your currency, or only a sales call? Does it charge per location, per member or per plan?

  2. Payments in India

    Can members pay by UPI, and does it work with an Indian payment gateway?

  3. Tax

    Does it produce GST invoices and a GST filing export?

  4. Messaging

    Can it send reminders on WhatsApp, where most members in India read their messages?

  5. Your class model

    Does it handle the way your studio actually books: capacity, packs, waitlists, private and duo sessions, and particular machines if you need them?

THE ALTERNATIVES

Options worth comparing.

StudioFly

  • Growth, Pro and Enterprise plans published in rupees, with a 7-day free trial in India and no card needed.
  • UPI, cards and netbanking through Razorpay; GST invoices with GSTR-1 export; WhatsApp fee reminders.
  • Members book their own spot or join a waitlist, and private and duo sessions sit alongside classes. There’s no consumer marketplace, and no choice of a particular machine.

Consider it if you run a class-based studio in India and want rupee pricing, UPI, GST and WhatsApp in one place.

StudioFly in India

Zenoti

  • Pricing: “Get a Quote”.22

  • Offers two-way transactional WhatsApp messaging; segments listed are salon and spa, medspa, fitness and barbershop.25,22

Consider it if you run a larger or multi-location business, especially spa or salon alongside fitness, and are comfortable with quote-based pricing.

YoActiv

  • Pricing: four tiers, each with “Get a Demo” and no published price.26
  • Built by Tapiyoka Technologies Private Limited, per its site footer, with pages for yoga, Pilates and dance studios.27

Consider it if you want an Indian vendor and are happy to go through a demo for pricing.

Momence

  • Pricing: “Let’s talk pricing”.28
  • Offers native WhatsApp integration, and processes payments through Stripe.29,30
  • Part of Xplor Technologies since Clubessential Holdings (which acquired Momence in January 2025) merged into Xplor, closing on 30 March 2026.31,35

Consider it if WhatsApp messaging matters and you bill in a country where its Stripe-based payments are available.

Glofox

  • Pricing: “Plans starting at $99 per month”.32
  • Glofox Payments runs on Stripe; ABC Fitness Solutions completed its acquisition of Glofox on 26 August 2022.33,34

Consider it if you bill in USD in a country where its Stripe-based payments are available.

IN FAIRNESS

Where Mindbody is the better choice.

You want a marketplace to bring you new clients

Mindbody lists businesses in the Mindbody app, which Mindbody says has 3M+ active users, and offers ClassPass. StudioFly has no consumer marketplace.9,10

Clients must choose a particular reformer

Mindbody’s Pick-a-Spot lets clients choose a numbered spot. StudioFly members book their own spot, but not a particular machine.8

You need integrated card payments in several countries

Mindbody lists integrated payments in 10 countries plus the EU/EEA, and publishes prices in USD, GBP and AUD. Outside India, StudioFly prices its plans in US dollars and members pay through PayPal.6,1,3,4

You want a branded app in the app stores now

Mindbody builds and publishes a branded app for the studio. StudioFly’s mobile apps are coming soon.11

Families book together

Mindbody’s dance page describes one account booking for several family members. StudioFly has no family accounts.12

You need built-in email and text marketing journeys

Mindbody’s Ultimate tier includes automated email and text journeys with A/B testing.13,1

SWITCHING

Moving from Mindbody to StudioFly.

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

  1. Export what you have

    From your current system, export your client list, active memberships and class packs with their expiry dates and remaining classes, and any outstanding balances. Check which reports your account can export before you plan the move.

  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.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Your questions, answered.

Want to talk through your own setup?

Let’s have a conversation
What is the best alternative to Mindbody in India?

It depends on your studio. Compare published pricing, UPI payments, GST invoices and WhatsApp messaging, since those are where the platforms differ most in India. This page lists what each option publishes, with sources, so you can compare them on your own criteria.

How much does Mindbody cost a month?

Mindbody’s US pricing page says plans start at $79 USD a month per location (viewed from the US); viewed from India on 24 Sep 2026, it showed $99. The UK page starts at £89 and the Australia page at A$89. Higher tiers are quote only.

Who are Mindbody’s competitors?

Mindbody’s own comparison pages name Arketa, bsport, Exercise.com, Glofox, Hapana, Kenko, Mariana Tek, Momence, Square Appointments, Vagaro, WellnessLiving and Zenoti.

Is Mindbody similar to ClassPass?

No. Mindbody is business software; ClassPass is a consumer membership. Both belong to Playlist, and listing on ClassPass is optional for Mindbody customers.

Can I switch from Mindbody without losing my members?

Yes, if you plan it. Export your client and membership data, set up your classes and plans in the new system, import members from a spreadsheet, and give members a clear switch date.
