So, be sure to review the pricing comparison below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pricing-wellnessliving-vs-mindbody\">Pricing: WellnessLiving vs Mindbody<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindbody&#8217;s pricing is higher than WellnessLiving&#8217;s due to expensive core plans and add-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>WellnessLiving<\/th><th>Mindbody<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pricing Guide<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodyonline.com\/business\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pricing Guide<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Base Price: $69\/month ($39\/first 2 months)<\/td><td>Base Price: $99\/month<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With Mindbody, you have to choose a higher-tier plan in order to get essential marketing and communication features, but WellnessLiving includes these in every subscription. With WellnessLiving, you get automated email, SMS, and push notifications even on our lowest-priced plan, but Mindbody doesn\u2019t include these until you upgrade to the third subscription tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WellnessLiving also offers a client leaderboard, client groups, fundraising, a task manager, and parent-child account linking on all plans, but Mindbody does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customer-support-wellnessliving-vs-mindbody\">Customer support: WellnessLiving VS Mindbody<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both companies provide 27\/7 customer support over the phone and online. However, customers and clients consistently rank WellnessLiving&#8217;s customer service and support above Mindbody in all areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindbody&#8217;s customer support is rated 4 stars on Capterra, and WellnessLiving has earned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capterra.com\/p\/145039\/WellnessLiving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4.3 stars<\/a> for our customer service.

Here are more great reasons to opt for WellnessLiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-get-a-custom-branded-app-that-doesn-t-feature-competitors\">1. Get a custom-branded app that doesn\u2019t feature competitors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With WellnessLiving, you get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/features\/achieve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">custom-branded mobile app<\/a> that is 100% yours. It only features your business; nearby competitors are never included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Mindbody app users will be able to see nearby listings and might decide to go with one of your competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-save-on-credit-card-processing-fees\">2. Save on credit card processing fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WellnessLiving continuously goes to bat with merchants to lower credit card processing fees for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to Mindbody, you\u2019ll save 20-40% on fees for membership payments, class passes, and merchandise. Depending on your revenue, these savings could represent thousands per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-stop-paying-20-fees-for-reserve-with-google\">3. Stop paying 20% fees for Reserve with Google<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can utilize Reserve with Google, so clients can book services directly in Google Search and Maps, without having to pay a 20% fee for this free service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>20% is a hefty cost, and as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/reserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reserve with Google<\/a> gains popularity, the losses will add up. Unlike Mindbody, WellnessLiving doesn\u2019t charge this fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-get-more-features-in-our-core-plans-fewer-add-ons\">4. Get more features in our core plans (fewer add-ons)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you grow with WellnessLiving, the amount you save will only increase. With Mindbody, you have to pay an additional $200 per month to create your own app for clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With WellnessLiving, this is included in our BusinessPro and BusinessMax plans. So, once you\u2019re ready to upgrade, you can unlock even more great features while getting the app thrown in practically for free. But if you stick with Mindbody, you\u2019ll always pay that extra $200 per month even when you upgrade to more costly subscription tiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-take-advantage-of-our-free-onboarding-and-data-migration\">5. Take advantage of our free onboarding and data migration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WellnessLiving offers free onboarding and data migration. So, whether you\u2019re switching from Mindbody or a plethora of apps and systems, we\u2019ll be able to take the reins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team offers a hands-on onboarding process that includes moving over your client data, products, and services. We also talk through your business goals with you and help you make the most of our marketing and analytics features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">request a free demo with our sales team<\/a><\/strong>, and a representative will also walk you through a side-by-side pricing comparison based on your needs.

Some platforms charge extra for add-ons like email marketing or loyalty programs that others include in their base price.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1761931757267\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the implications of marketplace-listing exposure on a software platform?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Marketplaces can boost visibility but may also divert clients to competitors listed on the same platform. Private apps and websites avoid this by giving studios full ownership of client relationships, unlike some platforms that promote rival businesses.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1761931797457\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What scalability considerations should I factor in for future business growth when selecting software?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Choose software that grows with you and supports multi-location management, staff permissions, advanced reporting, and automation. Scalable platforms let you expand without needing a costly upgrade or data migration later.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1761931837403\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which software is better for small studios: Mindbody or WellnessLiving?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Small studios often find WellnessLiving more affordable and user-friendly, with built-in marketing tools and transparent pricing. Mindbody may be a good fit for some larger operations, but can feel complex and expensive for smaller businesses.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1761931880722\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How does the mobile client experience differ between Mindbody and WellnessLiving?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">WellnessLiving offers a fully branded client app under your studio\u2019s name, keeping clients loyal to your brand and you in control of the experience. Mindbody\u2019s app lists multiple studios and allows them to use the same profile to visit multiple businesses. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>*&nbsp;<strong>Mindbody is a trademark of Mindbody, Inc., and is not affiliated with WellnessLiving.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for the perfect solution to help you manage your studio gym or wellness business?
