Why studios switch from Mindbody
Built for small studios, not enterprise
Mindbody was designed for gym chains and large franchises. If you're a 1-10 person studio, half the features are irrelevant and you're paying for all of them.
No 12-month contract
Mindbody locks you in for a year. LavaBookings is month-to-month. If we're not earning your business every month, we don't deserve it.
4x cheaper to start
Mindbody starts at $139/mo before add-ons. LavaBookings starts at $29/mo with everything included. No marketing module upsell, no report upgrade.
