Compare
A practical comparison for yoga, Pilates, and fitness studio owners: compare everyday booking workflows, plan limits and the full local cost before choosing.
No credit card required
Pricing
Bookjor offers Free, Pro at USD 20/month and Deluxe at USD 50/month. Payment processing fees are separate. Mindbody publishes a starting price for North America and Asia; request a local quote.
Setup
Bookjor lets you set up your studio and first schedule yourself. Mindbody uses a broader sales and onboarding process. Compare the setup and support your team actually needs.
Contracts
Bookjor offers monthly plans and online subscription cancellation. Check current subscription terms. Mindbody terms can vary by package and sales agreement.
Platform focus
Bookjor focuses on classes, private sessions and venue bookings. Mindbody also serves small studios, with broader marketing, marketplace and multi-location tools across its plans.
Pricing philosophy
Mindbody advertises Starter from USD 79/month per location for North America and Asia. Confirm local pricing and eligibility; this is not a guaranteed Hong Kong quote. Accelerate and Ultimate require a sales quote.
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.
Ask for a local quote covering every location, add-on, payment fee, messaging allowance and qualifying new-client acquisition fee.
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.
Request payment processing, platform fees, branded apps, messages, onboarding and migration as separate lines. Confirm currency, taxes, regional availability and any minimum term.
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.
Features below describe the platforms, not everything included in an entry plan. Mindbody tier notes refer to its current public lineup; confirm Hong Kong availability and the exact workflow in a demo. Bookjor Free includes 25 bookings/month, two staff accounts and one location. Reports, the Client App and multiple locations require a paid plan; the Admin App and Stripe payments are included on Free. Stripe processing fees are separate.

Why studios switch
Every studio needs a different mix of features. These points help independent fitness, yoga, and Pilates studios compare the two platforms.
Bookjor shows classes, private sessions and venue rentals in one calendar. Test how each platform presents your actual schedule, staff and bookable venues before choosing.
You can cancel Bookjor online. Mindbody terms and cancellation steps may vary by package and agreement, which is worth confirming before signing.
Mindbody offers broad wellness-business functionality. Bookjor is intentionally focused on the workflows fitness studios actually run every day — schedule, sell, check in, and report.
Bookjor is self-serve: create your studio, add a real schedule, and test the booking flow without a sales call. Setup time depends on your classes, data, and settings.
Paid-plan assistance covers customer records and package balances in Bookjor’s required CSV format. This is not a promise to transfer your entire account or recreate the old system.
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.
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.
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.
