SCHEDULE A DEMOTrusted by hundreds of independent studios globally
I speak with owners and managers using Mindbody every week. Here's how they compare on the things that matter most when deciding whether to move to StudioGrowth.
| Why studios switch | StudioGrowth | Mindbody |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | Pay monthly and cancel anytime. | Often contracts are 12-36 months long with price lock options |
| Pricing clarity | Our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. | Users report price increases and add-ons over time. |
| Customer interface | Clean, modern, fast; clients book in seconds. | Modernized, but many users still expect a smoother feel. |
| Branded app | Included on all plans; option for your own App Store/Google Play app. | Custom/brand app typically an extra monthly fee. |
| Support | Personalized 1:1 help from the founders and engineers (Zoom, custom videos). | Primarily contact centers; tiered/paid support options. |
| Feature depth | Full toolkit for studios: bookings, memberships, passes, courses/events, reporting, automations, unified inbox. | Very feature-rich; enterprise depth. (Both strong.) |
| Consumer marketplace | Not offered. | Large consumer marketplace for client discovery. (Mindbody wins.) |
| Business model | Founder-led and self-funded with a driven team. | Private-equity owners where the playbook is on investor returns |

SCHEDULE A DEMONo pressure. Just an honest conversation about what works for you.
You get everything you expect from Mindbody—class bookings (with waitlists), scheduling, member management, billing, marketing, and community features.
Your customers book through your own branded mobile app. Bookings, profiles, and payments land in your built-in CRM automatically. Waivers, attendance, and check-ins are built in right where you need them.
When you need to reach people, use one simple inbox for email, SMS, in-app messages, and push notifications. Stripe is our payment processor for subscriptions, packs, and one-time payments, with fast, reliable payouts.
Most studios that switch from Mindbody tell us the same thing: StudioGrowth feels easier, for staff and clients. The booking experience is clean and modern, and the schedule is simple to manage.

Clear, predictable pricing built for independent studios. No hidden fees or long-term contracts.
We've seen studios unable to join StudioGrowth because they were locked into long-term contracts with Mindbody. Watching owners struggle with price hikes and lock-ins, we made price transparency a core tenet of how we operate.
Maybe you've been left on hold for weeks or pushed to generic help articles. With StudioGrowth, you can stay calm when something goes wrong. We stay by your side until it is resolved.

Yes! We work closely with you to migrate all your customer data and active packages and memberships. We also migrate any future bookings. However, we are unable to migrate historic attendance and bookings data. You can safely download this data from Mindbody and store it for your records.
It typically takes us 3-6 weeks to get your account live. If you need to migrate customer billing data then it could take longer. The process of migrating customer billing data (credit/debit card data) will require support from both Mindbody and Stripe.
We do white-glove onboarding where we build your account for you including creating all your class schedules, adding packages and memberships and importing customer data. Once done, we schedule a 1:1 onboarding call and hand over the system to you. Over the next few months we regularly connect with you to ensure you are using the system without any issues.
We provide pre-recorded training videos and also create custom videos for you and your team as needed.
