What is the cheapest Mindbody plan in 2026?+
Mindbody Starter is the cheapest published tier, from $99/month per location on Mindbody's current pricing page. Accelerate and Ultimate are quote-led. Buyers should use the official page for the tier structure and a dated written proposal for the complete annual total.
How much does pick-a-spot cost on Mindbody?+
Client Pick-a-Spot is available on Accelerate and above, whose current price is provided by quote. Junocal includes pick-a-spot on its £15 / $15 Starter tier, so its full price is visible before signup.
What's the Mindbody marketplace commission?+
Mindbody charges 20% commission on bookings from clients who discovered the studio through the Mindbody consumer app and marketplace, capped at $30 per transaction, on top of payment processing fees. The commission applies inside an attribution window — once a client is attributed via their first marketplace booking, subsequent bookings inside the window (typically 30-90 days, varies by configuration) also pay the commission, even when booked through the studio's own page. For a studio doing $200,000/year with half attributed to marketplace, the commission can run to several thousand dollars a year before the $30-per-transaction cap is applied.
Is Mindbody's payment processing included?+
Mindbody uses bundled payment processing — Mindbody is the merchant of record, the studio is a sub-account. Standard processing is charged as a gross rate. When a client disputes a charge, Mindbody mediates rather than the studio dealing directly with the processor. When you leave Mindbody, the Stripe relationship belongs to Mindbody, not to you.
Are there annual contracts on Mindbody?+
Yes. Standard Mindbody contracts run 12 months with auto-renewal and a 30-day cancellation notice; miss the window and you're committed for another year. The auto-renewal price may differ from the initial-term price, and the renewal letter is usually the moment studios first see the new rate. Junocal, OfferingTree, and Arketa offer month-to-month with one-click cancel as the default.
Is there a Mindbody data export fee?+
The standard CSV export from Mindbody Reports is free and covers most fields needed for migration. A separate Subscriber Data Export ($500) applies when requesting a full historical archive including year-over-year intake form versions and detailed financial transactions at cancellation. The standard export is sufficient for most migrations — the fee scenario is real but avoidable.
What's the total annual cost of Mindbody for a typical studio?+
Use the formula (monthly proposal × 12) + implementation + add-ons + payment costs + applicable marketplace fees. For comparison, Junocal Studio is £29/month, so £29 × 12 = £348/year before standard Stripe processing, with no marketplace commission or annual contract.
