Pain 1
You're paying for a marketing suite you never use
Mindbody charges $200-400/month for "Marketing Suite" features that are basic email blasts and a CRM list. Their AI tools — if you're lucky enough to be in their beta — cost more on top.
Mindbody alternative
The legacy giant. Powerful — and expensive, slow, and stuck in 2010.

Where Mindbody falls short
Pain 1
Mindbody charges $200-400/month for "Marketing Suite" features that are basic email blasts and a CRM list. Their AI tools — if you're lucky enough to be in their beta — cost more on top.
Pain 2
Front-desk staff need 30 minutes of training to ring up a sale. Members complain about the booking flow on every G2 review. Your competitors with newer software just look more professional to walk-ins.
Pain 3
On a studio doing $40k/month in card volume, that's $14,400/year going to Mindbody on top of their base subscription. Switch to a 0%-markup platform and that money is yours.
How KOLLABO OS fixes it
Stripe Connect-direct. You keep 100% of card revenue minus Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢. We make money on subscriptions, not by skimming your processing — Mindbody takes ~3% on top.
Your logo, your colours, your studio name — bundled in at $199/mo. Mindbody charges $200/mo on top for the same thing. Pro ($399/mo) gives you a fully custom native iOS + Android app published under your name.
Mobile-first design. Members complete a booking in under 30 seconds. No 30-minute Mindbody training videos. Walk-ins judge your studio by the software they touch.
You send a Mindbody CSV export, we handle the rest. Memberships, packs, recurring schedules rebuilt. Run both platforms in parallel for the first week so nothing breaks.
What switching looks like
Mindbody → Kollabo migration is a single CSV export from their Reports → Client list, then upload to /dashboard/customers/import. Memberships get re-provisioned in Stripe (one-time setup, ~30 min for a 500-member studio). Your existing card-on-file tokens migrate via Stripe directly. Total downtime: usually under an hour, often zero — we run both systems in parallel for the first week.
To be fair to Mindbody
Mindbody's strength is their integration ecosystem — bookable on Mindbody.com's consumer marketplace if you opt in. If 30%+ of your bookings come from Mindbody.com discovery, factor in that loss before switching. We do not pretend to replace consumer-facing discovery yet.
