The honest comparison

You don't need
more software.
You need less work.

Every studio platform gives you tools and leaves you to figure it out. Tala gives you an AI employee that actually runs your studio. Here's how they compare.

Let's talk money

A 200-member studio on Momencepays $1,086/mo.

On Tala: $986/mo.

What they charge

  • $200–500/mo base fee, before you do anything
  • 3.5–3.9% payment processing on every transaction
  • Setup fees, add-on fees, per-location surcharges
  • Annual contracts with penalties if you leave

What Tala charges

  • $1/member/month. That's it. No floor, no ceiling.
  • Stripe at cost: 2.9% + $0.30 — we don't mark it up
  • No setup fee. No add-ons. Everything included.
  • Month-to-month, always. Leave whenever you want.

The real difference

They give you software.
Tala gives you an employee.

What you get

MindBody / Momence / Walla / GloFox

Scheduling tools, payment tools, marketing tools, reporting tools — a dashboard full of things for you to operate.

Tala

An AI employee that handles scheduling, chases late payments, follows up with no-shows, re-engages lapsed members, and sends personalized outreach — without you lifting a finger.

Member experience

MindBody / Momence / Walla / GloFox

Generic email blasts, one-size-fits-all automations. Members get the same message whether they've come 3 times or 300 times.

Tala

Personalized AI outreach based on each member's behavior. Streak tracking, class recommendations, re-engagement when they drift. Members feel seen.

Switching

MindBody / Momence / Walla / GloFox

Export your data. Import it yourself. Spend 2–4 weeks re-configuring everything. Hope nothing breaks.

Tala

White-glove migration, completely free. We move your members, schedules, and payment data. You open your laptop and it's done.

Contract

MindBody / Momence / Walla / GloFox

Annual contracts with early termination fees. Discounted pricing that only applies if you lock in for 12 months.

Tala

Month-to-month. Always. If Tala isn't working for you, leave. We'd rather earn your business every month.
