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.
