MINDBODY ALTERNATIVE
The modern Mindbody alternative for small studios
Studio Momo is the all-in-one platform built by a dance studio owner — your website, online sales, memberships, and front desk in one place. Free to start, 0% platform fee, no annual contract.
Why studios outgrow Mindbody
Mindbody helped define studio software, but it was built for large, multi-location wellness chains — and many independent studios find it expensive, complex, and heavier than they need.
Studio Momo takes the opposite approach: one connected platform that a small studio can set up in days, with your own branded website, online checkout, memberships, and a fast front desk — without giving up a cut of every sale.

What you get when you switch
Keep 100% of your sales
Connect your own Stripe account. We never take a cut of your transactions — you own your payouts and customer relationships.
A website that looks like your studio
Your own branded site and domain with a drag-and-drop builder — not a generic booking page bolted onto someone else’s brand.
A front desk built for the rush
Check in a student in seconds, sell passes and memberships, and run kiosk self-check-in — all from one screen.
Built by someone who runs a studio
Studio Momo was built by a dance studio owner to solve real studio problems — not designed in a boardroom for enterprise gyms.
When Mindbody might still be the better fit
Mindbody runs a large consumer marketplace and a deep ecosystem of integrations built for big, multi-location wellness brands. If discovery through that marketplace or enterprise-scale operations are central to your business, it may be the right tool. Studio Momo is built for independent studios that want their own brand, their own customers, and software that stays simple.
