Momence has grown quickly in the boutique fitness space, particularly among yoga and Pilates studios. It is a well-designed platform with strong event and workshop features. But it also comes with transaction fees, pricing that scales with usage, and a feature set that can feel over-engineered for studios with straightforward scheduling needs.
Here is how KOLLABO OS and Momence compare in practice.
Pricing
Momence starts at approximately $129/month for their Starter plan. Higher tiers (Growth, Ultimate) increase significantly and gate features like custom branding, advanced automations, and dedicated support behind more expensive plans. Transaction fees apply on all plans — typically 2.5% + processing fees per transaction.
KOLLABO OS starts at $99/month (Starter), $199/month (Growth), and $399/month (Pro). The critical difference: zero transaction markup on any plan. Stripe's standard fee passes through unchanged.
Annual cost comparison at $20,000/month revenue
| Momence Growth | KOLLABO OS Growth | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | ~$249/mo | $199/mo |
| Transaction markup (annual) | ~$6,000/yr | $0 |
| Total annual cost | ~$8,988 | $2,388 |
| Difference | $6,600/year saved with KOLLABO OS | |
Workshops and events
This is Momence's strongest feature. Momence handles multi-day workshops, retreats, teacher trainings, and ticketed events exceptionally well. If your business runs 10+ workshops per month and workshops represent a significant portion of your revenue, Momence's event tooling is best-in-class.
KOLLABO OS handles workshops and courses (multi-session series) from the same scheduling interface as regular classes. You create a service, set the type as "Workshop" or "Course," set pricing and capacity, and it appears in the Upcoming Events section of the customer app. It is straightforward and functional — but it does not have the depth of Momence's event-specific features like tiered ticket pricing or embedded event landing pages.
Class scheduling and booking
Both platforms handle regular class scheduling well. Where KOLLABO OS has an edge:
- Spot picker — KOLLABO OS has a numbered grid for reformer/equipment-based classes. Members choose their specific spot during booking. Momence does not offer this natively.
- Industry adaptability — KOLLABO OS adapts its UI for salons, clinics, and non-fitness businesses. Momence is fitness-focused.
Mobile apps
Momence offers a branded mobile app, but it is gated behind higher-tier plans and the customisation options (your logo, your colours) require the more expensive tiers.
KOLLABO OS includes a branded customer app and a separate staff app on the Growth plan ($199/month). Your logo, your colours, your App Store listing.
Staff tools
Momence has staff-facing features within the main platform but no dedicated staff mobile app. Staff access the same interface as owners, with role-based permissions limiting what they see.
KOLLABO OS has a separate staff app — purpose-built for the floor. Check customers in, run POS, view the daily schedule, manage tasks, and clock in/out. It is designed for staff who do not need (or want) access to the full admin dashboard.
CRM and marketing
Momence has strong built-in marketing automation — email sequences, SMS campaigns, and lead nurturing workflows. If marketing automation is a core need and you do not use a separate tool, Momence offers more here.
KOLLABO OS includes CRM with customer tags (VIP, Regular, Lapsed, New), AI-generated customer briefs, and basic automation. For advanced marketing, KOLLABO integrates with the KOLLABO AI marketing platform — same login, same data — which handles content creation, social scheduling, and campaign management.
Which should you choose?
Choose Momence if you run a yoga or wellness studio where workshops, retreats, and events are a major revenue stream AND you need built-in marketing automation AND you are comfortable paying transaction fees.
Choose KOLLABO OS if you want zero transaction fees, a dedicated staff app, industry-adaptive UI (works for salons and clinics too, not just fitness), and a simpler platform that does not charge you more as you grow. The money you save on transaction fees alone typically exceeds the cost of the subscription.
