Junocal vs Time2book

Side by side

Fourteen rows of structural facts. Every Junocal value applies to every plan tier; every Time2book value is the most-comparable published equivalent.

Where Junocal is better

Five specific things, each with a number or a documented behaviour behind it.

• No platform percentage on online payments

  Time2book's pricing page states that Stripe charges its transaction fee and Time2book adds a 0.9% platform fee. Junocal uses Stripe Connect Standard and adds no Junocal percentage to payment volume. At $100,000 in annual online payments, 0.9% is $900 before the normal Stripe charge; at $300,000 it is $2,700. That makes Time2book's headline subscription only one part of its total cost. Junocal's cost is easier to forecast because revenue growth does not increase the software fee.

• Lower entry price without annual billing

  Time2book publishes Starter at $29 a month when billed yearly, followed by Growth at $59, Professional at $99, and Business at $199. Junocal starts at $15 a month on a month-to-month subscription. A solo instructor can therefore start for roughly half Time2book's annual-billing Starter price without paying a year in advance, while still getting memberships, packs, appointments, branded booking, and direct Stripe payments.

• Deeper equipment and fixed-course operations

  Time2book publicly documents class capacity, recurring and one-off classes, instructors, policies, and a waitlist. Junocal goes further for equipment-led studios: a drag-and-drop room plan, named reformer or bike selection, disabled-spot handling, and per-class layout control. Junocal also treats an eight-week term as one course with its own sessions, payment, attendance, swap rules, and refund policy. Time2book's public scheduling material does not document equivalent pick-a-spot or fixed-term-course workflows, so operators who depend on them should verify those requirements during a trial.

• Longer evaluation window and migration help

  Time2book advertises a seven-day trial without a credit card. Junocal provides fourteen days without a card, giving an operator two full weekly schedule cycles to test bookings, cancellations, packs, memberships, staff access, and payout reconciliation. Junocal also includes hands-on migration during the first 30 days. For an existing studio, the extra week matters because a booking system should be tested through a real cancellation window and at least one membership or pack workflow, not only configured on a quiet afternoon.

Total cost of ownership

Time2book's public pricing shows four plans when billed yearly: Starter at $29 a month for solo trainers, Growth at $59 for growing studios, Professional at $99 for studios ready to scale, and Business at $199 for large studios. The page advertises savings of up to 34% for annual billing, so month-to-month prices are higher. It also states that Stripe's normal transaction fee applies and Time2book adds a 0.9% platform fee to online payments. Bookings are unlimited across the plans; the published table increases team capacity and support from email through dedicated support, with Growth showing five team members, Professional ten, and Business unlimited. Junocal's published monthly tiers start at $15, $29, and $69, with no percentage platform fee over Stripe. Worked example: at $120,000 of annual online revenue, Time2book's 0.9% fee is about $1,080. Adding the annual Starter subscription produces roughly $1,428 a year before Stripe; Growth produces about $1,788. Junocal Studio at $29 a month is about $348 a year before Stripe, and the software cost does not rise with payment volume. Time2book can still be the better-value product if its built-in video library replaces another paid video or course platform. The correct comparison is therefore subscription plus 0.9% plus any tools Time2book replaces, against Junocal's flat subscription plus any separate video hosting the studio actually needs.

Migrating from Time2book

A Time2book-to-Junocal migration should begin with an export inventory before either subscription is cancelled. Confirm that the export includes client contact fields, marketing consent, booking history, active memberships, remaining pack credits, attendance, notes, waivers, and future appointments or classes. Junocal can map standard CSV fields, run a dry import, and let the operator verify totals before cutover. Payment credentials and saved cards generally cannot be moved between platforms as ordinary CSV data; memberships may need a controlled re-authorisation or processor-specific migration path. The special case is Time2book's video library. Junocal does not host on-demand video, so original video files should be secured and moved to Vimeo, YouTube, or another chosen host before the old account closes. A normal client-and-schedule migration can fit the standard five-business-day Junocal process once usable exports are available. A video-heavy business should allow extra time and run both systems briefly until every paid video entitlement and link has been checked.
