Corterra Book
Most yoga studio software looks the same in a demo. You find the differences later, when a Saturday class fills or the first month of card fees arrives.
What you should pick depends on the kind of studio you run. A new studio with a few classes a week needs something cheap that sells drop-ins and an intro offer. A studio whose classes fill needs a waitlist. A studio that runs teacher trainings needs payment plans, and one adding a sauna or cold plunge needs software that can book a room. This guide takes each in turn, with regular prices for Corterra Book, Momence, Mindbody, Walla and WellnessLiving.
Everything about the other four comes from their own pricing and help pages, and from studios' booking pages on each one, checked in October 2026. The prices are regular prices, not introductory offers.

A solo teacher or a new studio with a few classes a week
One owner on Reddit put it this way: "I'll probably only be able to offer 6 classes per week at first." At that size the software has a short job. It sells a drop-in, sells an intro offer to a new student, lets regulars use a class pack, and costs little enough that it doesn't eat the month.
You can leave spot booking, a branded app, a marketing suite and on-demand video until later. The bigger platforms sell those as higher plans or add-ons, and none of them matter until your classes fill.
What to test on a demo:
- Can a new student find your intro offer and buy it at 10pm without messaging you?
- Can someone walk in, drop in and pay on the spot?
- When a regular books with a class pack, does the pack count down on its own, or are you keeping track on paper?
- What does the first month cost once card fees are added?
Here's where each one starts. Corterra Book is $40 a month. Momence is free with fees on every sale, or $60 on its Individual plan, which is built for one person. Unlimited teacher accounts start on Momence's $199 Business plan. WellnessLiving's $69 Starter plan is limited to one staff member. Mindbody starts at $79 a month per location, and its app takes 20% of a new client's first purchase, up to $30. Walla starts at $299, which is priced for a studio that's already busy.
If you're taking less than about $700 a month in card payments, Momence's free plan is the cheapest way in, fees and all. Above that, a paid plan usually costs less.
On Corterra Book, a new student can buy an intro offer, a class pack or a membership from your booking site once you've set up payments. You can limit an intro offer to new clients, or to one per client. When a regular books with a pack, it's used automatically. A drop-in booked online isn't charged when they book. They pay at the studio, unless a pack or membership covers the class.
A busy studio where classes fill
Once your 6pm class fills most nights, the waitlist matters more than anything else on the list. Someone cancels at 5:15, and the next person on the waitlist gets the spot and a notification, without you touching anything. Without one, that mat stays empty.
Momence, Mindbody, Walla and WellnessLiving all have a waitlist. Corterra Book doesn't. A full class shows as full and stops taking bookings. If your classes fill most days, that alone is a reason to pick one of the other four.
Spot booking matters less for yoga than for reformer pilates, because one mat space is much like another. It starts to matter in a hot room, where students care whether they're by the door or under a heater, or if you price the front row differently. Momence, Walla and WellnessLiving include it. Mindbody adds it on its Accelerate plan, which is quoted. Corterra Book doesn't have it. If you also run reformers, spot booking is covered in more detail in pilates and barre studio software.
A busy timetable also needs a late-cancel and no-show fee, so a full class isn't held by people who don't come. All five platforms can charge one to a card on file, Corterra Book included. Filling the spots that are left is its own job, covered in how to fill empty class spots at your studio.
If you also sell classes on demand, Walla includes a video library on both of its plans. Momence, Mindbody and WellnessLiving sell on-demand video as an add-on, and Corterra Book has none.
A studio that runs workshops and teacher trainings
Workshops are the easy part. A workshop is a single date with its own price, and every platform here can sell one. On Corterra Book, a workshop is a class on a date you pick, so it sits on the same calendar as your weekly timetable.
Teacher trainings are harder. A 200-hour training runs for months and often costs a student $2,000 or more, and most students expect to pay it in parts. One studio's training page, for example, asks for a $500 deposit on a $2,475 course.
On Corterra Book, you sell a training as a pack of its sessions at one price, and students pay it in full. There are no deposits or payment plans. If most of your trainees pay in parts, that's a reason to pick one of the others.
Momence sells workshops, courses and retreats, with payment plans. Mindbody sells trainings as enrollments, and studios sell them on payment plans. WellnessLiving has events with their own payment options, including payment plans, from its Business plan up. Studios on Walla take deposits on their trainings.
A hot yoga studio, or one adding a sauna or cold plunge
A hot room books like any other yoga class. Capacity is the number of mats that fit, and every platform here handles that.
Two things are worth checking for a hot studio. Students should sign a waiver before their first hot class, ideally online before they arrive. On Corterra Book they sign it online, or on an iPad at check-in on the Pro plan. And decide whether you want spot booking for the hot room, which is covered in a busy studio where classes fill.
A sauna or a cold plunge is where the platforms part ways. A class has a start time and a teacher. A sauna is a room with a seat count that people use all day, and a cold plunge is often a room for one with nobody teaching. Most studio software was built for the class.
On Corterra Book, a sauna is booked by seat count, with no instructor, on the same calendar as your classes. The seat count goes down as people book, and a plunge can be a room for one. On Momence and Mindbody you'd set the sauna up as a class, with sessions on a timetable. Walla and WellnessLiving don't list it.
This matters most if you're starting fresh. Adding a heat room later is easy. Moving your members to new software later is hard. If a sauna or plunge is in your plan, choose software that can book it now. More on that in sauna booking software.
What it costs
Plan price is what vendors compete on. Card processing is usually the bigger cost. These are regular prices, checked in October 2026.
| Plan, a month | Card processing | Worth knowing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corterra Book | $40, or $80 (Pro) for several instructors or rooms | 2.9% plus 45 cents online, 2.7% plus 20 cents in person | Membership renewals are 3.2% plus 30 cents. Text reminders are a $30 a month add-on. Every add-on price is published. |
| Momence | Free, Individual $60, Business $199, or Custom (quoted, annual contract) | 3.9% plus 30 cents online, 3.7% plus 5 cents in person | The free plan takes a 5% transaction fee and a 4% service fee. Unlimited teacher accounts start on Business. Marketing, reviews, referrals, Spotfiller, teacher substitutions and on-demand video are add-ons with unpublished prices. |
| Mindbody | From $79 per location (Starter). Accelerate and Ultimate are quoted | Not published. A rate plus 10 to 30 cents a transaction | Spot booking and the branded app start at Accelerate. Its app takes 20% of a new client's first purchase, up to $30. No onboarding fee, but data transfer fees may apply. Contract terms depend on the plan. |
| Walla | Core $299 or Pro $599, per location | Not on the pricing page | The branded app is $149 a month plus a $500 build fee on Core, and included on Pro. Two-way texting is $100 a month on Core, included on Pro. Migration help is a $429 package. |
| WellnessLiving | Starter $69 (one staff member), Business $199, BusinessPro $349. About 10% less billed yearly | Not published | Events start on Business. Setup and data migration are free. On-demand video is an add-on. |
Look at the processing column before the plan column. At $10,000 a month in card payments, one point on the rate is $100 a month. Momence's online rate is 3.9% plus 30 cents and Corterra Book's is 2.9% plus 45 cents. On a $20 drop-in the two come out within a few cents. On a $150 class pack bought online, Momence costs about $1.35 more. Mindbody, Walla and WellnessLiving don't publish their rates, so ask for them in writing before you sign.

Where Corterra Book fits
Corterra Book fits a yoga studio that sells more than classes. If you run a timetable next to privates, workshops, or a sauna or cold plunge, and want every price published, that's the studio it was built for.
What you get on it:
- Drop-ins, class packs and memberships on one timetable, with a client's pack used automatically when they book.
- Intro offers, packs, memberships and gift cards clients can buy online from your booking site, once payments are set up. An intro offer can be limited to new clients or to one per client.
- Classes that repeat every week or run on dates you pick, so a one-off workshop sits on the same calendar.
- A client can book seats for friends, and each guest claims their own seat.
- Late-cancel and no-show fees your clients agree to when they book.
- Waivers signed online before the first class, or on an iPad at check-in on the Pro plan.
- A sauna or cold plunge booked by seat count next to your classes.
- Revenue by instructor on the Pro plan.
- A free move from your current software. You can import your client list yourself, or send it to me and I'll do it.
Where it doesn't fit, and you should hear this from me:
- No waitlist. If your classes fill, that alone can rule it out.
- No spot booking.
- A drop-in booked online isn't charged at booking. It's paid at the studio unless a pack or membership covers it.
- No deposits or payment plans, so teacher training tuition is paid in full.
- No on-demand video, livestreaming or ClassPass, and no automated teacher substitutions.
- Clients can't pause or cancel their own membership online. You do it for them.
- No loyalty program, referrals, review requests, lead forms, payroll or accounting sync, and no marketplace sending you new clients.
- Running several instructors on their own calendars takes the $80 Pro plan, not the $40 one.
- Below about $700 a month in card payments, Momence's free plan costs less than our $40 plan.
If you run only classes and they fill, pick one of the class platforms above. If you're opening a studio with a heat room or a plunge in the plan, weigh that now. Moving software after you have members is much harder than choosing for where you're going.
FAQ
What is the best software for managing a yoga studio? It depends on the studio. For classes alongside privates, workshops or a sauna, with every price published, Corterra Book. For a busy timetable that needs a waitlist and spot booking, Momence, Walla or WellnessLiving. For new clients from a marketplace, Mindbody, whose app lists you on its Starter plan.
Is there free yoga studio software? Momence has a free plan, but it takes a 5% transaction fee and a 4% service fee on sales. Below about $700 a month in card payments, that costs less than a paid plan like Corterra Book's $40. Above that, a paid plan usually costs less.
How much does yoga studio software cost? Corterra Book is $40 a month, or $80 for several instructors. The others run from free (Momence, with fees on every sale) to $599 a month per location (Walla Pro). Card processing is usually the bigger cost. At $10,000 a month in card payments, one point on the rate is $100 a month.
What software does a new yoga studio need? Something that sells drop-ins, class packs and an intro offer new students can buy online, takes a signed waiver before the first class, and costs little enough for a few classes a week. A waitlist, spot booking and a branded app can wait until your classes fill.
Does Corterra Book have a waitlist or spot booking? No, neither. A full class shows as full and stops taking bookings. If your classes fill most days, Momence, Walla or WellnessLiving will suit you better.
Can students pay for yoga teacher training in installments? Not on Corterra Book, where a training is sold as a pack of its sessions and paid in full. Momence, Mindbody and WellnessLiving sell trainings with payment plans, and studios on Walla take deposits.
Can one platform run yoga classes and a sauna or cold plunge? Some can, so test it. Corterra Book books a sauna by seat count, with no instructor, on the same calendar as your classes. Momence and Mindbody can run a sauna as a class with a timetable. Ask any platform where the room's capacity is set and how it books a session with nobody teaching.
What should I ask about moving off Mindbody? Who does the move, what it costs, and what happens to class pack balances and active memberships. Client lists move easily. Balances are where moves go wrong. Saved cards don't move between payment processors, so members add their card again.
