Mindbody alternativeLooking for a Mindbody alternative? One studio, one price, everything in it.

If you run one studio and pay for more system than you use, here is what Prometheus Studio Light includes for $79 a month — and where it is not the right fit yet.

The actual difference

One number, and it is the one you pay.

Everything in the list above is in Studio Light. One price for the location — not per trainer, not per feature — and the app your members use costs them nothing.

Whether you end up paying less depends on what you pay today. Add up your studio software and the tools around it, type it in below, and hold it against ours.

How to switch

Move over one step at a time, with your clients on board.

Start the trial
Studio Light for one location (14 days), or the gym software for larger gyms and groups (30 days). No card for either.
Set up your timetable and memberships
Enter your class schedule, then the memberships you sell: subscriptions, punch cards, session packages, trial and day passes.
Bring your members across
The migration centre moves your existing member list over, so the front desk can find everyone on the first day.
Open the front desk
Check members in at the desk, sell at the point of sale and send new contracts for e-signature from the same screen.
Run both until the month ends
Keep the old system until its billing period runs out, then cancel it. Point members to your public schedule page to book.

Questions

Asked before switching.

How much does Prometheus cost for a studio?

Studio Light is $79 a month for one location, or ten times that paid yearly. Larger gyms use the gym software: €149 a month for up to 250 active members, €249 for up to 1,000, and €399 per location for several sites. Every feature is in every plan.

How does this compare with Mindbody pricing?

We do not quote other companies’ prices — only they can state them correctly. Type what you pay today into the calculator on this page and hold it against $79.

Can members check themselves in?

In Studio Light, check-in is done by staff at the front desk: they look the member up and check them in. There is no self check-in kiosk in Studio Light.

Can I run a dance or martial arts school on it?

Not well yet. Studio Light has no family or household accounts, no term registration and no belt or grading tracking. Yoga studios, CrossFit and HYROX boxes and personal-training studios fit today.

Can I bring my members over?

Yes. The migration centre in the app brings an existing client list across, so you do not retype your members. Class times and membership types are set up once in the app.
