Momence Alternative — Studio Management That Actually Saves You Money

Built for gyms, adapted for studios

Momence was designed for fitness businesses broadly. The interface is packed with features yoga studios don't need — digital memberships, challenges, livestreaming. It adds complexity without value for a 1-2 room studio.

Pricing jumps are steep

Momence Starter ($99/mo) is limited. Most studios need Plus ($249/mo) for automations and marketing tools. That's a 150% price jump for features that should be standard.

Revenue share on some plans

Some Momence plans take a percentage of your revenue on top of the monthly fee. You're paying for the software AND giving them a cut of your class packs.

Overwhelming interface

Studio owners consistently report Momence has too many settings, too many screens, too many options. Running a yoga studio shouldn't require a software engineering degree.

Support responsiveness

As Momence has scaled rapidly, support quality has been inconsistent. Studios report long wait times for non-critical issues.

Hidden processing fees stack up

Momence charges 3.9% + $0.30 per online card transaction — on top of any plan-level transaction fees. A studio processing $15k/month in cards pays ~$630/month in processing alone, before the subscription fee.

“I'm in the trial for Momence and like it but the $200/month price doesn't make sense compared to our revenue right now.”

“When you google Momence pricing it says their prices range from $20/month - $60/month, but then if you jump into reddit threads people say $200+? So I can't even categorize where they fit.”

“MBO charge for so many different modules that it costs a lot more per year too. I'd take Momence every day of the week because that platform [MindBody] is awful.”

“These processing fees exist alongside any subscription-based transaction fees, creating a layered fee structure that studios must carefully consider when calculating total costs.”
