the short answer
What a class booking system actually does
A class booking system is software that lets studios schedule classes, take online bookings, manage capacity and waitlists, sell memberships and class packs, and accept payments. It also handles client communications, intake forms, instructor scheduling and reporting.
Junocal is a class booking system for boutique class-based studios. It includes pick-a-spot booking on every plan from $39/month, class packs and memberships, recurring payments through your own Stripe Connect account, hybrid in-person + online classes, automated client emails, and term-based courses. No marketplace, no commission, no annual contract.

Questions
What is a class booking system?
A class booking system is software that lets studios schedule classes, take online bookings, manage capacity and waitlists, sell memberships and class packs, and accept payments. It also handles client communications, intake forms, instructor scheduling, and reporting. For studios that run capacity-limited classes (pilates, yoga, barre, dance, boutique fitness), a class booking system is the operational backbone.
What is the difference between a class booking system and studio management software?
Class booking is one part of studio management. Studio management software includes booking plus payments, memberships, clients, staff scheduling, reporting and operations. Junocal includes all of these from $39/month. The terms are often used interchangeably — both Mindbody and Junocal market themselves as either, depending on the page.
Can I use my own Stripe account for class bookings?
With Junocal, yes. Studios connect their own Stripe Connect account during onboarding, and payments go directly to the studio. Junocal never holds funds and never marks up processing. Mindbody routes payments through a bundled Mindbody-branded arrangement with a small processing markup. Stripe Connect direct is the structural difference.
What does Junocal cost for a class booking system?
Junocal starts at $39 a month on the Starter plan. The Studio plan at $99 a month is the most popular for boutique studios with multiple instructors. The Growth plan at $199 a month supports up to five locations. There is a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, and no annual contract.
Does Junocal include pick-a-spot booking on the entry plan?
Yes. Pick-a-spot booking (clients choose their reformer, mat position, bike, barre spot or other equipment when they book) is included on every Junocal plan starting at $39. Most other class booking systems gate pick-a-spot to a premium tier — Mindbody charges $259+/month for it on the Accelerate tier.
