Two multi-location-capable studio platforms — Mariana Tek built around boutique reformer chains (Advent International in 2019, now Xplor), Mindbody the category giant with marketplace and broadest vertical coverage. Plus Junocal as the flat-fee third option for chains in the 2-10 location range.
* Mariana Tek does not publish current prices and routes buyers to a proposal. Mindbody publishes Starter from $99 per location (official UK) or roughly $99-$159 per location from secondary sources. Verified June 2026.
Mariana Tek fits boutique reformer chains scaling beyond 10 locations where reformer-aware UX and per-location franchise depth justify the cost. Mindbody fits marketplace-dependent operations and franchise chains across broader verticals. For chains in the 2-10 location range or single-location boutiques, Junocal Growth at $69/month flat covers multi-location architecture without per-location pricing.

What Mariana Tek emphasizes
Boutique reformer chain scaling beyond 10 locations. Need reformer-aware UX, per-location operational visibility, and Stripe payouts direct to your studio bank account. Mariana Tek is the category standard at this scale.
What Mindbody emphasizes
Franchise chain with consumer marketplace dependence or multi-vertical depth (pilates + yoga + fitness + wellness). The Ultimate tier covers franchise reporting and the native branded mobile app.
Why Junocal leads
Boutique chain in the 2-10 location range or single-location operation. Junocal Growth at $69/month flat covers multi-location architecture, cross-location memberships and pick-a-spot — without per-location pricing.
Mariana Tek is a quote-led Xplor platform for reformer chains; Mindbody is a broader Vista-owned platform with a commissioned consumer marketplace. Junocal gives independent reformer studios the specialist alternative: pick-a-spot, terms, adaptive intake, direct Stripe ownership, no marketplace commission, and up to ten locations on one published flat subscription.
Mariana Tek is quote-led across Core, Core + Growth and Full Growth Bundle. Mindbody publishes Starter from $99 per location and quotes Accelerate and Ultimate. Junocal publishes $15 Starter, $29 Studio and $69 Growth; Growth covers up to ten locations, or $6.90/location/month at ten sites.
For chains in the 2-10 location range that find both Mariana Tek's per-location pricing and Mindbody's marketplace contract terms a poor fit, Junocal Growth at $69/month flat covers multi-location architecture and cross-location memberships. For franchise chains beyond 10 locations, Mariana Tek and Mindbody's top tier remain the structural fits.
