Best booking software for Pilates teachers (2026)

The right booking software follows the shape of the business. A solo teacher selling individual privates has different needs from a class-led mat studio, a clinical practice or a five-location reformer group. Start with those workflows, then compare the live tier that contains them.

Junocal is included because this is Junocal's blog. That relationship is disclosed throughout; the links above let you verify every published price directly with the vendor.

Quick decision guide

Practice shape	Tools worth evaluating	Why
Individually paid 1:1s plus scheduled classes	Junocal, Acuity	Junocal combines appointments with class products; Acuity has deeper appointment-package and deposit options
Class packs and memberships are the core business	Bookamat, Punchpass, Junocal	All three publish class-and-pass workflows, with different pricing and intake gates
Simple availability links	Calendly, Acuity	General-purpose scheduling can be enough when studio operations are deliberately minimal
Larger boutique studio	Walla, Mindbody	Broader studio-management suites, priced above solo tools or sold through quotes
Multi-location reformer group	Mariana Tek, Mindbody, Junocal	Compare cross-location operations, integrations, reporting and the live quote; Junocal's published location limits matter
Clinical or insurance-led practice	Jane, SimplePractice, Cliniko	Practice-management products are a better starting point for clinical records than a wellness booking tool

Junocal — from $15/month

Junocal Starter publishes at $15/month and Studio at $29/month. It supports capacity-one appointments, scheduled classes, class packs and memberships for eligible classes, a branded storefront and Stripe Connect Standard.

For appointments, contact details and notes are captured at checkout and an attached operator-authored conditional form can be requested after booking. Junocal charges paid appointments in full. It does not currently support partial appointment deposits, recurring appointment series, duet appointment capacity, or redemption of class-pack and membership credits against private appointment slots.

Late-cancel and no-show outcomes enter an operator-visible fee workflow. An operator can collect or waive a fee, or enable a delayed charge attempt where a usable saved payment method exists. That is not a guarantee that every fee will be collected.

Best fit: a solo or small Pilates business selling individually paid 1:1s alongside scheduled classes. It is not a HIPAA or EHR system.

Acuity — $20 to $61/month

Acuity currently publishes Starter at $20/month, Standard at $34/month and Premium at $61/month before annual-billing discounts. Starter includes custom intake forms and payment collection. Standard adds packages, subscriptions and gift certificates. Acuity also documents full payment, deposits and saved-card options.

That makes Acuity a stronger candidate when prepaid private-session packages, subscriptions or partial deposits are central. Its public documentation describes custom forms; if branching logic is essential, verify the exact form behavior in a trial.

Acuity can connect a business's Stripe, Square or PayPal account. Its current help documentation says nearly all users pay no additional Acuity transaction fee, so do not assume an undocumented processing markup when modelling cost.

Calendly — free or from $10 per seat/month annually

Calendly publishes a free plan and Standard at $10 per seat per month on annual billing. Standard connects Stripe and PayPal and adds multiple event types and automated reminders.

It is a general scheduling product. That can be entirely adequate for a teacher selling straightforward appointments. Its plan page is not a promise of a Pilates class ledger, packs, memberships, attendance or studio waitlists, so map those requirements separately. Avoid arbitrary claims that it fails after a specific number of clients or months.

Bookamat — from $49/month

Bookamat now publishes a $49 Solo plan, a Team plan starting at $59 and Growth starting at $99. Its pricing is based partly on active clients, and the page lists bookings, classes, waitlists, payments, memberships, packs, staff administration and member self-service among its core tools. Usage-based services such as SMS can cost separately.

This is a direct studio-software candidate for class-led Pilates businesses. Use Bookamat's active-client calculator rather than an old fixed range when estimating cost.

Punchpass — $59 to $149/month

Punchpass currently publishes Grow at $59, Flow at $99 and Pro at $149 per month. Grow includes classes, passes, private sessions, waitlists and waivers. Flow adds recurring memberships and multi-day series. Custom intake forms are listed on Pro.

That tier split matters: a low headline price does not include every intake feature. Punchpass says its subscription is month to month and that it does not add a processing fee above Stripe's fee.

Walla — from $320/month

Walla currently publishes Core at $320 per location per month and Pro at $599. Its pricing page also lists optional paid add-ons, including a branded app, texting and website services. It is positioned for boutique studios rather than as a low-cost solo appointment tool.

Compare the live proposal, included implementation and optional modules against your actual staff and client workflows. Older references to a $220 Starter tier should not be used as a current quote.

Mindbody — from $79/month in the US; higher tiers are quote-led

Mindbody's July 2026 US pricing update lists Starter at $79 per location per month. Its current pricing page sends buyers to sales for higher tiers. Contract, billing and cancellation terms can depend on the order form and promotion, so request them in writing rather than assuming every account has the same annual commitment.

Mindbody is a broad studio-management and consumer-discovery platform. A solo teacher should compare the live quote and required add-ons with the much smaller workflow they actually need. Do not model a fixed marketplace commission, export fee or payment markup unless the applicable contract or current official documentation specifies it.

Mariana Tek — quote required

Mariana Tek positions itself for boutique fitness brands and multi-location operations but does not publish a standard monthly subscription price. Treat unsourced internet ranges as estimates, not current vendor pricing. A serious comparison requires a written quote, implementation scope, payment terms and a list of included integrations.

Jane, SimplePractice and Cliniko — clinical practice alternatives

Jane currently publishes US plans from $54 to $99 before staff and optional add-ons. SimplePractice publishes plans from $49 to $99. Cliniko publishes a solo plan at $45 USD and tiered multi-practitioner plans.

These are not automatically "better Pilates software." They are relevant when the business is also a clinical practice and needs practice-management functions that a wellness booking platform does not provide. Confirm the exact compliance, recordkeeping and insurance requirements for your jurisdiction; a product category label is not a compliance guarantee.

The questions that determine the choice

Are private sessions sold one by one or in packages?

Junocal currently fits individually paid appointments. Acuity's official documentation covers appointment packages, subscriptions and deposit options. If private-session credits are core revenue, this distinction is more important than a small monthly-price difference.

Is the business class-led?

For scheduled classes, compare capacity, attendance, waitlists, pack and membership eligibility, family accounts, series or term enrolment, and instructor permissions. Bookamat, Punchpass and Junocal publish different combinations of those workflows.

Is intake operational or clinical?

An operator-authored wellness intake form is not an EHR. Junocal can request conditional fields after booking, but it does not provide clinical templates, SOAP charting, insurance billing, HIPAA support or a BAA. Regulated or clinical practices should start with their legal and recordkeeping requirements, then evaluate an appropriate product.

What will the complete contract cost?

Use the vendor's current subscription, mandatory platform fees, processor fees, add-ons, implementation cost and contract term. Do not convert old blog prices or anonymous reports into current facts. For quote-led products, the quote is part of the evaluation.

Bottom line

For individually paid 1:1 appointments beside scheduled Pilates classes, Junocal Starter is a low-priced candidate at $15/month. For appointment packages, subscriptions or deposits, Acuity is the stronger comparison. For class-led operations, evaluate Bookamat and Punchpass. Larger and multi-location studios should compare Walla, Mindbody and Mariana Tek against their required operating depth. Clinical practices should evaluate a clinical practice system rather than stretching a studio product into an EHR.
