When Mindbody is the better choice
You run classes, a gym or a studio: Mindbody covers fitness, beauty and wellness with class scheduling and a ClassPass integration. Belcome is appointment-only.
You want a marketplace sending you new clients: the Mindbody app has 3M+ active users, and the 20% fee applies only to the first purchase of a client the app brought.
Your team keeps growing: unlimited users per location on every plan.
You want a branded app for your business or a website built for you, sold as add-ons.
You run several locations or a franchise and need corporate-level controls.
When Belcome is the better choice
You are solo or a pair: Mindbody's own page says it may not fit one-person operators who only need booking and payments. Belcome publishes the price: $14.95 a month, never more than $68.95 per location.
You want forms, deposits, a waitlist and e-mail campaigns in the plan; Mindbody keeps automated e-mail and text marketing for the Ultimate tier.
Your clients book in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German or Italian.
You run a med spa and want signed SOAP notes, an injectable face chart and good faith exams in the plan, not an enterprise tier.
You want clients booking through AI assistants: the Claude and ChatGPT connectors and the booking-page AI chat are in the plan.
You want to start today with a 14-day free trial instead of a sales call.
