Is Junocal cheaper than WellnessLiving?+
For typical boutique studios: yes, meaningfully. Junocal Studio at $99/month is approximately $1,200/year. WellnessLiving for an equivalent feature set on a mid-market boutique studio lands around $2,500-$4,000/year all-in (subscription + onboarding amortised + bundled-processing markup). The 2.1x-3.4x cost gap is real and proportional to the feature-breadth gap. Studios that need WellnessLiving's full feature breadth (POS, payroll, branded app, marketing automation) get value for the higher cost; studios that don't are paying for unused capability.
Why doesn't WellnessLiving publish pricing?+
WellnessLiving's go-to-market is sales-led for mid-market customers where the pricing conversation involves studio size, vertical mix, feature scope, onboarding depth, and migration scope. Public pricing wouldn't reflect the negotiated rate that a 5-instructor multi-vertical operation actually pays. The 'request a quote' gate is standard for mid-market all-in-one platforms. Junocal's go-to-market is operator-led for independent boutique studios where public pricing removes friction.
Does Junocal have native POS?+
No. Junocal handles gift cards natively (gift card issuance, redemption, balance tracking) but doesn't ship native point-of-sale for general retail (apparel, mats, props, in-studio purchases). For studios with meaningful retail operations, the working pattern is to use Square or Stripe Terminal alongside Junocal for in-studio retail and have Junocal handle the booking-and-membership operation. The two tools coexist cleanly for studios where retail is a side revenue stream rather than core.
Does Junocal have native payroll?+
Junocal tracks instructor commissions through service-level commission rates (you set a commission percentage per service, and the system tracks instructor-attributable revenue for payroll-period roll-ups). What Junocal doesn't ship is full payroll processing — paystub generation, tax withholding, direct-deposit handling, etc. For studios that need full payroll, the working pattern is Gusto or Rippling alongside Junocal, with the commission data exported from Junocal feeding the payroll tool. WellnessLiving's native payroll module is more integrated and may justify the price gap for studios with complex commission structures.
What about WellnessLiving's branded mobile app?+
Junocal doesn't offer a white-label branded native mobile app. The Junocal storefront is mobile-web responsive — clients can install it as a PWA (Progressive Web App) to their phone home screen and it behaves close to a native app, but it's not a native iOS/Android app published under the studio's brand to the App Store. For most boutique pilates and yoga studios, the mobile-web experience is sufficient; for premium-positioned studios or larger chains where a native app is operationally important, WellnessLiving's white-label option is genuine value.
Can Junocal handle studios with multiple verticals (yoga + pilates + barre + martial arts)?+
Junocal handles pilates, yoga, barre, dance, and mixed-movement studios. Martial arts, salon-and-spa, and general fitness (HIIT, indoor cycling) are out of scope. For multi-vertical operations that include those out-of-scope verticals, WellnessLiving's broader platform is the right fit. For multi-discipline operations within the pilates-yoga-barre-movement umbrella, Junocal handles the operation natively with per-service intake forms and per-class-type configuration.
How long does migration from WellnessLiving take?+
5 business days end-to-end for the standard automated flow (CSV export from WellnessLiving, field mapping, dry-run in staging, Sunday cutover). The additional consideration is what to do with WellnessLiving-specific data that doesn't map to Junocal — POS history for retail, payroll history, branded-app data. Most studios archive that data on their side rather than importing into Junocal. The migration timeline accommodates this archive handoff.
