Mindbody often quotes hundreds per month, and then adds upsells for branded apps, SMS alerts, and marketing tools. Studio Management PRO provides full functionality on transparent, flat tiers starting from $300 TTD/mo.

Hardware-Free Front Desk Kiosks

No need to purchase proprietary card readers or locked-down tablets. Any iPad or budget Android tablet transforms into a front-desk attendance, waiver signing, and QR check-in kiosk instantly.

Native Regional Payments

If you operate in the Caribbean or internationally, Mindbody’s payment options often force difficult foreign currency conversions. Studio Management PRO natively supports WiPay (LINX and credit cards) alongside global Stripe checkouts.
