Costs that don't show up on the pricing page
Marketplace bookings carry a 20% commission
Every client Mindbody's consumer marketplace sends you costs 20% of that booking, on top of your monthly plan and standard processing.
Payment processing runs 2.75-3.5%
A studio processing $10,000/month loses roughly $275-350/month just moving the money, before the software fee.
Contracts run 12, 24, or 36 months
Plans auto-renew unless cancelled with notice; reviewers report signing year-long terms and being held to them even after being told otherwise by sales.
Onboarding is reported to take weeks
One reviewer reported up to 8 weeks to get fully set up; some studios hire outside consultants just to configure it.
The marketplace also promotes competitors
The same marketplace that brings you clients shows your members offers from other studios in the same search.
The annual math for a boutique studio
A studio on Mindbody's Accelerate tier ($259-279/mo) pays roughly $3,228/year in software alone. Add typical processing (3% on $10,000/month in bookings = $3,600/year) and the marketplace commission on any marketplace-sourced clients, and total cost easily clears $7,000-8,000/year before add-ons. StudioDeck's comparable Growth tier is $99/mo ($1,188/year, or $990 paid annually), standard Stripe processing with no markup, and no marketplace commission - because there's no marketplace to pay into.
