Bookjor and Walla at a glance

Monthly prices need regional context

Pricing

Bookjor publishes local plans. Walla’s current USD prices are per location and are not a Hong Kong quote.

Shared scheduling, different scope

Operations

Both cover classes and private bookings. Walla also documents payroll and retention tools; confirm its venue-rental workflow.

Client apps and staff access differ

Mobile access

Walla offers shared and studio-branded client apps. Staff use its mobile-friendly browser interface.

Compare the whole subscription and setup

Pricing model

Separate subscription, optional features, onboarding, processing and payout costs.

  • Bookjor: free up to 25 bookings/month; Pro USD 20/month; Deluxe USD 50/month, billed monthly. Reports, Client App and multiple locations require paid plans.
  • Walla’s live USD page lists Core at USD 299/month/location and Pro at USD 599/month/location, billed monthly; Enterprise is quoted.
  • Walla Pro includes the branded app and two-way texting; Core lists these as add-ons. Check the app build charge and onboarding/migration option in your quote.
  • Walla uses Stripe and documents transaction and payout fees. Confirm Hong Kong onboarding, HKD settlement, taxes, support coverage and contract terms before purchasing.

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 Walla

    Add each location, selected onboarding, app build/add-ons and transaction/payout fees; confirm contract length.

  • 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.

Feature comparison

Compare supported workflows and plan inclusions; unverified regional or rental details need confirmation. 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.

When Bookjor may fit your studio

Choose by workflow

Evaluate the features you need and the cost of the applicable local agreement.

Evaluate direct bookings first

Use the free booking allowance to test classes, private sessions, venue rentals and packages.

Include room rentals in the trial

Bookjor treats rental availability as part of its booking workflow. Ask Walla to demonstrate your exact rental use case.

Compare optional growth tools

Walla’s payroll, retention and marketing features may be valuable. Decide which you will use, including any app and setup costs.

Which workflow fits?

Bookjor may fit

  • Studios wanting published monthly plans and self-serve setup
  • Teams managing classes, privates and venue rentals
  • Studios that need packages and Stripe Connect payments

Walla may fit

  • May suit boutique studios needing payroll, retention tools and plan-dependent marketing or branded apps.
  • Teams using marketing automation and studio-branded apps
  • Operators that confirm regional availability and total per-location costs

Plan a bounded migration

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Common questions about Bookjor vs Walla

FAQ

Is Bookjor a Walla alternative for Hong Kong studios?

Both support studio scheduling, but check local applicability before choosing. Bookjor publishes HKD plans; the Walla prices shown here are a USD reference, with Hong Kong onboarding and payments still to confirm.

What does Walla offer beyond booking?

Walla documents staff payroll, retention predictions, reporting, memberships and optional or plan-dependent marketing and branded-app tools. Confirm the features included in your selected package.

How should I compare the total cost?

Include each location, contract term, onboarding, branded-app build and subscription charges, texting, developer accounts and payment/payout fees. Monthly billing alone does not establish a cancellable month-to-month contract.

Could I migrate from Walla to Bookjor?

Yes. On paid plans, Bookjor can help import customer records and package balances in the required CSV format. You can also ask for help with basic setup when starting free.
