A modern alternative to Mindbody
Software-only pricing. White-label branding. A real mobile app. Your merchant account stays yours.
$499/mo for software. No revenue cut. No payment rake.
Mindbody isn't building for you anymore.
In January 2026, Mindbody merged with EGYM in a $7.5B deal. The combined company is called Playlist, and their focus is enterprise corporate wellness — large gym chains, corporate fitness programs, and global scale.
That's great for enterprise — but it means the roadmap, pricing, and support will naturally evolve toward larger customers. If you're an independent studio, it's worth asking whether you're still the audience they're building for.
Wellspring is built for your studio. That's it. That's the whole business.
Why studios switch from Mindbody
Modern software, pricing you can trust, and a product that feels built for today.
Flat pricing, no revenue cut
Mindbody charges $129-699/mo across four tiers, plus a 20% commission on new clients from their marketplace. Wellspring is $499/mo flat. Your money goes straight to you.
Your brand, not a marketplace
Mindbody's consumer app shows other studios alongside yours. Wellspring is fully white-label — your members only see your brand, your schedule, your studio.
A real mobile app, included
To get a branded app on Mindbody, you need their Ultimate Plus tier ($599-699/mo). With Wellspring, your own App Store listing is included in the $499/mo price.
Hands-on support
You get a founder on the phone, not a ticket queue. Real help during migration and launch.

We migrate member profiles and send a simple reset or activation so members can log in quickly.
Can I keep my custom domain and branding?
