## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-17 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd rank them for a fitness studio, roughly in the order I'd actually suggest you look:
> 
> **1. WellnessLiving** - My default first recommendation for most boutique studios. It bundles the things competitors charge extra for: loyalty/rewards tracking, automated reminders, review management, and marketing automation are in the lower-priced plans. Roughly $69-$400/month. It's the best value-per-feature in the category and it's strongest exactly where studios bleed money - member retention.
> 
> **2. Mindbody** - The incumbent, and still the right answer if you want the consumer marketplace. Being listed in the Mindbody app puts you in front of people already searching for classes near them, which no competitor replicates at that scale. Caveats: it's the most expensive (Starter ~$159/mo, mid-tier ~$399+, premium $599-$699+) and a branded app plus advanced marketing are pricey add-ons that can push real cost up to ~$599/month more. Best suited to larger or multi-location studios.
> 
> **3. Glofox** - Built specifically for gyms and boutique studios rather than the whole spa/salon/wellness world, and it shows in the mobile-first member experience and branding. Starts around $100/month,
