the short answer

What pole studio software actually needs to do

Pole studio software handles class scheduling, per-pole booking (clients pick the specific pole they want), class packs and memberships, waitlists, term-based progressions for beginners and instructor-track training, intake forms (waivers, injury, prior pole experience), and recurring payments. The apparatus-awareness — knowing which pole each student gets — is the load-bearing differentiator from generic class software.

Junocal includes per-pole booking on every plan from $39/month, class packs and memberships, term-based courses, waitlists with auto-fill, and recurring payments through your own Stripe Connect account. No marketplace, no annual contract.

why per-apparatus matters

Pole studios run a different shape

Pole studios have a fixed equipment footprint — 4, 6, 8 poles in a room, each with its own characteristics (height, brass vs. chrome, spinning vs. static). Capacity is not just “how many people fit in a class” but “which pole does each person get.” Clients develop preferences: the front-window pole, the back-wall pole away from foot traffic, the pole they always take.

Generic class-booking software treats spots as interchangeable. Pole software needs apparatus-aware booking — drag-and-drop floor plan, per-pole assignment, out-of-order rerouting for when a pole goes down between classes, per-pole notes for instructor briefing (height, surface type, recent maintenance).

Pole studios also commonly sell three commercial structures in parallel: drop-in class packs, monthly memberships, and term-based beginner blocks or instructor training. Each as a first-class entity on the same calendar with the same payment plumbing.

what junocal includes

The pole-load-bearing list, on every plan

Six capabilities pole studios actually use, included from the $39 Starter tier.

Per-pole booking on every plan

Drag your pole layout into the floor plan editor — single-row, double-row, U-shape, whatever fits. Clients pick the specific pole when they book. Per-class toggle: a stretch/conditioning class can run without pole assignment. Out-of-order rerouting included.

Class packs and memberships, both bundled

Auto-deducting packs (5-pack, 10-pack, intro offer), auto-renewing memberships, member-plus-pack crossover, self-serve member pause. The three commercial structures most pole studios sell in parallel.

Term-based progressions for beginners and instructors

Beginner blocks (typically 4-8 weeks of progressive pole fundamentals) and pole instructor training cohorts (longer, certification-track) run on the term primitive: fixed weekly slot, total session count, single-payment price, makeup credits, refund policy.

Waitlists with auto-fill

Two modes on every plan: auto-promote when a spot opens with notice, first-to-claim broadcast when it opens last-minute. Useful for the popular intro-to-pole sessions that often fill weeks out.

Your own Stripe Connect direct

Stripe Connect Standard. Your own Stripe account, Stripe's published rates, no markup. ACH (US) and Bacs Direct Debit (UK) at the standard rate for memberships.

Pole-aware intake forms

Conditional logic — pregnancy, injury history and prior pole experience fields appear only when relevant. E-signature waivers included. Per-service forms with re-attestation rules for higher-skill workshops.

Questions

What software do pole studios use?

Pole studios typically use one of: Junocal (class-first, per-pole booking on every plan from $39), Mindbody (category giant, per-pole gated to Accelerate $259+), Vagaro (per-user pricing), or generic class platforms that handle pole as a regular class without apparatus awareness. For boutique pole studios where per-apparatus management is operationally load-bearing, Junocal's drag-and-drop floor plan and per-pole booking on every plan is the closer fit.

Can pole studios let clients book a specific pole?

Yes. With Junocal, pole studios can offer per-pole booking — clients pick their specific pole when they book (front-window pole, back-wall pole, the pole by the mirror). The drag-and-drop floor plan editor supports any layout: single-row, double-row, U-shape. Out-of-order rerouting included for when a pole goes down between classes.

Does Junocal support pole teacher training cohorts?

Yes. Pole instructor certifications, beginner blocks and progression courses run on Junocal's term-based courses primitive: fixed weekly slot, total session count, single-payment price, makeup credits and a refund policy. Useful for studios that run 4-12 week beginner blocks or longer instructor-track training programs alongside the drop-in pole schedule.

How much does pole studio software cost?

Pole studio software ranges from $39/month (Junocal Starter) to $260+/month (Mindbody Accelerate) for a comparable feature set. Most boutique pole studios spend $39-$99/month on Junocal. The price gap is mostly about whether per-pole booking, class packs and term courses are bundled (Junocal) or sold as tier upgrades and add-ons (Mindbody, Vagaro).
