Revenue model
A direct booking system and a marketplace do not charge for the same service.
- Marketplace role and schedule integration · Checked
- Bookjor plans and limits · Checked
- Bookjor offers 25 bookings/month free, then Pro at USD 20/month or Deluxe at USD 50/month, billed monthly. Stripe processing is separate.
- ClassPass advertises no upfront listing cost or ongoing fixed listing fee. Reservation payouts and payment timing follow the partner agreement.
- Ask ClassPass for the applicable rate floor and net payout terms. There is no verified universal commission percentage to apply to every studio.
- Use direct packages for your own sales and evaluate marketplace inventory separately. Bookjor packages should not be confused with recurring memberships.
- ClassPass’s Partner FAQ says fitness partners participate in its Trial Program with one free first visit for eligible trial users. Confirm trial inventory and payout treatment in the partner agreement.
Compare the cost of your actual setup
Use the same booking volume, staff, locations and required features for both products. A headline subscription is not a total-cost quote.
First-year cost = 12 × monthly software and required add-ons + one-time setup + payment and usage charges + applicable tax.
Check these costs for ClassPass
Compare net payouts, trial visits and cancellation terms; a fee-free listing is not a software subscription or a full-price direct sale.
Match the plan to your work
List monthly bookings, calendars, staff and locations first. Check the plan that covers every required workflow; unlimited classes does not necessarily mean unlimited booking transactions.
Price the extras separately
Request payment processing, platform fees, branded apps, messages, onboarding and migration as separate lines. Confirm currency, taxes, regional availability and any minimum term.
Compare the same billing commitment
Keep monthly billing separate from annual-billing equivalents and introductory offers. Ask what renews, what happens when limits are exceeded, and how cancellation and data export work.

Confirm what you can export
Check your existing provider’s export options, permissions, fees and account-access deadline. Export only records you are entitled to use; marketplace customers may have different marketing permissions.
Agree the mapping before moving
Confirm the required fields, package types, remaining balances and expiry dates with Bookjor. Do not assume booking history, stored cards, recurring payment agreements, waivers or automation rules transfer.
Test, reconcile, then switch
Ask for a small sample check, compare customer counts and balances, and agree a cutover date. Keep an authorized archive and handle future bookings and payment agreements separately before closing the old account.
