Mindbody alternatives
Owners look for a Mindbody alternative when they want a published price instead of a demo quote, run appointments rather than classes, or lead a small team that does not need enterprise tools.
Why owners look beyond Mindbody
- Only the $79 entry price is published; the Accelerate and Ultimate tiers are quoted on a demo.
- Automated e-mail and text marketing are reserved for the Ultimate tier.
- The Mindbody app takes 20%, capped at $30, on the first purchase of a client it brought.
- It is built for classes, gyms and franchises as much as for salons and spas.
The alternatives
Belcome is our product, so it comes first. Each entry says who it fits best, including the ones that fit better than we do.

How to choose
- If the Mindbody app is what brings you new clients, check which alternative runs a marketplace too.
- Count only the people who take bookings when you compare per-person prices with Mindbody's unlimited users.
- If you only take appointments, drop the options built for classes and gyms.
