WellnessLiving vs Mindbody (2026): Price, Fees and Which Fits a Pilates Studio
Short answer: WellnessLiving’s pricing page lists Starter at $69 per month for one staff member, Business at $199 per month for unlimited staff, and BusinessPro at $349 per month with the white-label app. Annual billing on that page is $62 / $179 / $314. Enterprise is quote-only. Mindbody publishes only Starter from $79 per month per location with unlimited staff. A solo instructor comparing sticker prices is looking at $69 versus from $79. A studio with two or more staff is looking at WellnessLiving Business at $199 versus Mindbody Starter from $79, then whatever unpublished Mindbody tier adds the marketing they need.

Published pricing, side by side
WellnessLiving, monthly and annual, as printed:
| Plan | Monthly | Annual billing, per month | Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $69 | $62 | 1 |
| Business | $199. The starred $39 is a 2-month promotion (80% off, offer expires Nov. 15, 2026), not the regular price | $179. The starred $35 is a 2-month promotion (80% off, offer expires Nov. 15, 2026), not the regular price | Unlimited |
| BusinessPro | $349. The starred $69 is a 2-month promotion (80% off, offer expires Nov. 15, 2026), not the regular price | $314. The starred $62 is a 2-month promotion (80% off, offer expires Nov. 15, 2026), not the regular price | Unlimited. Includes the white-label Achieve client app |
| Enterprise | Not published | Not published | Quote only |
Promotion, not the regular price. WellnessLiving’s banner says “Get a FREE website + 80% off your subscription for 2 months!” and “Offer Expires Nov. 15th, 2026.” The plan blocks repeat “Save 80% for 2 Months” next to the starred prices. The starred prices, $39 and $35 on Business and $69 and $62 on BusinessPro, are a 2-month promotion (80% off, offer expires Nov. 15, 2026), not the regular price. The $69, $199, and $349 figures are what the page shows beside them.
Mindbody’s published subscription prices are in Mindbody pricing: from $79 USD per location in the US, and Go A$89, Core A$279, Growth A$369 in Australia. Accelerate and Ultimate are not published.
A Canadian or Australian WellnessLiving plan price is not on the page checked. Mindbody’s US page states $79 USD for North America and Asia and does not print a separate Canadian price list.
Staff limits
This is the difference you can see without a sales call. WellnessLiving Starter includes one staff member. Business is the first WellnessLiving plan on the page with unlimited staff, at $199 per month. Mindbody’s US page says the $79 entry price has no fee for additional users.
Email and text marketing campaigns are on WellnessLiving Business, not described as part of Starter. Mindbody’s pricing page puts automated email and text marketing on Ultimate, which has no published price. Both vendors’ entry plans include email notifications or reminders. Those are not the same line item as marketing campaigns.
Fees
- Card percentage. Not published on either pricing page checked today. Mindbody adds that its fee is a rate plus $0.10 to $0.30 per transaction in North America and Asia.
- Mindbody app. 20%, cap $30, first purchase of a new app client. WellnessLiving’s pricing page does not publish an equivalent first-purchase commission. It does list an Explorer business listing, Reserve with Google, Wellhub, and ClassPass. It does not print a fee for those.
- WellnessLiving API. $19 per month, on the pricing page.
- WellnessLiving marketing SMS. The pricing page says “Messaging rates vary by country” and does not print a rate.
- WellnessLiving card-on-file transfer. The pricing FAQ says many merchant processors will provide encrypted card data for a nominal fee. It does not print that fee.
Reformer and spot booking
WellnessLiving’s pricing page lists “Book-a-Spot” asset reservations and does not publish a separate price for it, or say it is limited to one plan. Mindbody’s pricing table shows “Client Pick-a-Spot” on Accelerate and Ultimate, and not on Starter. Accelerate’s price is not published. Neither page was a Pilates-only feature list. Whether a 6-reformer room map is included is something to confirm in a demo. The calculator can total the published subscription and the published Mindbody app fee. It cannot invent a spot-booking add-on that neither page prices.
What owners report
Capterra’s Mindbody-versus-WellnessLiving comparison page returned HTTP 403 when checked on November 3, 2026, so this guide does not quote star ratings or review counts. Public owner comments this site has already logged, with links, are on Momence vs Mindbody.
Switching and data migration
WellnessLiving’s pricing page says setup and data migration are free, and that you can upgrade from the dashboard. It does not publish a cancellation notice period. Mindbody says there is no onboarding fee, that data-transfer fees may apply, and that cancellation depends on the agreement and may require advance notice.
Which published price fits which studio
- One instructor, comparing sticker prices only. WellnessLiving Starter is $69 per month. Mindbody’s published entry is from $79 per month per location. Card rates are unpublished on both pages, so the sticker gap is not the full cost.
- Two or more staff. WellnessLiving’s unlimited-staff plan on the page is Business at $199 per month. Mindbody’s published unlimited-user plan is Starter from $79 per month per location. If the studio needs Mindbody’s marketing campaigns, that is Ultimate, and Ultimate’s price is not published.
- A white-label app with a printed price. WellnessLiving BusinessPro is $349 per month. Mindbody’s branded-app price is not published.
