Mindbody is a capable, long-established platform, but its tiered pricing, paid add-ons, and per-transaction costs can add up quickly for independent studios. Bastiva gives you booking, memberships, payments, payroll-ready staff tools, and a branded member app in one platform. You get transparent flat pricing starting at $19/mo and a 14-day free trial with no card required.
Flat pricing instead of tiers and add-ons
Bastiva uses simple flat monthly plans — Starter $19, Growth $49, Pro $99, Enterprise $199 — so you always know your bill. There are no per-transaction fees and no booking commissions taking a cut of your revenue. Larger studios on Mindbody often land in higher tiers with paid extras to unlock the features they actually need.
Your brand, on every plan
Custom branding is included on every Bastiva tier — your logo and colors appear on the booking page, automated emails, and the member app. You also get your own subdomain like yourstudio.bastiva.com. Branding and a white-labeled experience are typically reserved for higher tiers on larger platforms.
One platform for fitness and wellness
Bastiva serves both fitness/wellness studios and salons/spas natively, so class scheduling and appointment booking live side by side. That means waitlists, memberships, packages, and POS all work whether you teach reformer Pilates or run a med-spa.
- Online class scheduling with waitlists and automatic gap-fill
- Appointment and resource/room booking
- Memberships, packages, gift cards, and promo codes
- Digital waivers with e-signature and custom intake forms
Built-in retention and reporting
Automated 24h and 2h reminders, post-visit follow-ups, and no-show/late-cancel fees help protect your calendar. Analytics surface client lifetime value, retention cohorts, rebooking rate, and staff performance so you can act on real numbers, not guesses.
