StudioBookings is booking software for yoga, Pilates, barre, dance and cycling studios, from StudioBookingsOnline LLC in the US. It publishes simple prices in US dollars, set by how many instructors you have, and takes payments through Stripe or PayPal.
For a studio in India, the questions that decide it are rupee billing, UPI, GST invoices and WhatsApp. We make StudioFly; this page compares the options on those and on the class workflow, with every fact sourced and dated 25 September 2026.
StudioBookings is a trademark of its owner. StudioFly is not affiliated with or endorsed by StudioBookings. Other product names on this page belong to their owners.
Check the billing currency and what your bank charges to convert, as well as the headline price.
Ask which gateway you'd use in India and whether recurring passes work with it.
A sales-tax or VAT rate isn't the same as a GST invoice with your GSTIN and the tax split.
Check whether members join waitlists themselves and are moved in without staff stepping in.
Ask how to export members, passes and bookings, and what happens to your data when you cancel.
Consider StudioFly for rupee pricing, UPI, GST invoices and WhatsApp in one workspace built for class-led studios in India; choose StudioBookings for a simple US-dollar booking tool with a free shared app.
StudioFly in IndiaConsider Arketa for room maps and family sharing, if Stripe works for your business.
Consider Kenko for spot selection, self-join waitlists and marketing services, if billing in US dollars works for you.
Consider Bookday for a lean booking tool with a branded app; recurring memberships need Stripe.

A realistic plan, step by step. Nothing here needs to happen in a hurry.
StudioBookings' help centre implies the owner can export or print the member list but gives no step-by-step export, so ask support for your members, passes and bookings before you cancel. On cancellation all studio and member data is deleted, 30 days after termination under the privacy policy. (Sources 28, 29, 30, checked 25 Sep 2026.)
Create your class types, recurring classes, membership plans, packs and staff roles, so the structure is ready before members arrive.
Bring member records across with a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) import, and check the imported records before you use them.
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.
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.
