Momence is a solid platform — particularly for yoga studios that run lots of workshops and events. But the transaction fees add up, pricing scales steeply as you grow, and not every studio needs the level of complexity Momence offers.
Here are the best alternatives depending on what matters most to your business.
KOLLABO OS — best for zero transaction fees and multi-industry support
The biggest reason studios leave Momence is the transaction markup. KOLLABO OS charges zero transaction fees — Stripe's standard rate passes through unchanged. For a studio doing $20k/month in payments, that is roughly $6,000/year saved.
Beyond pricing, KOLLABO OS offers:
- Branded customer app + dedicated staff app (both included on Growth plan)
- Spot picker for reformer/equipment classes
- Industry-adaptive UI — works for fitness, salons, clinics, not just yoga
- AI-generated customer briefs in the CRM
- Payroll and time tracking built in
- Month-to-month from $99/month — no annual contract
Best for: Studios that want a simpler, cheaper platform without sacrificing the features that matter. Try it free.
Mindbody — best for marketplace traffic
If new member acquisition through a discovery marketplace is your top priority, Mindbody's network drives walk-in traffic that no other platform matches. The cost: higher subscription, transaction fees, and your members seeing competitor listings.
Best for: Studios in competitive urban areas that rely on marketplace discovery for new members.
Glofox — best for branded experience with investor backing
Glofox (now ABC Glofox) targets boutique fitness with a polished branded app experience. Annual contracts, sales-call pricing, and the backing of ABC Fitness (a private equity-owned group). The platform is strong but the cost structure favours larger operations.
Best for: Well-funded boutique chains that want a premium branded app and are comfortable with annual commitments.
WellnessLiving — best for budget-conscious broad features
WellnessLiving offers the broadest feature set at the lowest price point. The trade-off is a busier interface and a steeper learning curve. It tries to do everything and mostly succeeds — but nothing feels as polished as a more focused tool.
Best for: Studios that need a wide feature set and prioritise cost over user experience.
How to choose
If you are leaving Momence because of cost, KOLLABO OS saves you the most money. If you are leaving because the platform is too complex for your needs, KOLLABO OS is also simpler. If you are leaving because you need marketplace discovery, look at Mindbody. And if you are leaving because you want the cheapest possible option with broad features, look at WellnessLiving.
