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 feature that sets it apart from generic class software.

Junocal includes per-pole booking on every plan from $15/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, automatic 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 is built in, on the same calendar, paid for the same way.

what junocal includes

The pole essentials, on every plan

Six capabilities pole studios actually use, included from the $15 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. Use a different layout per class type — a stretch/conditioning class can run without pole assignment. If a pole's out of action, bookings reroute automatically.

Class packs and memberships, both bundled

Auto-deducting packs (5-pack, 10-pack, intro offer), auto-renewing memberships, members can use packs too, and 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 as their own courses: fixed weekly slot, total session count, one upfront price, makeup credits, refund policy.

Waitlists with auto-fill

Two modes on every plan. When a spot opens with notice, Junocal automatically books the next person in line. When it opens last-minute, everyone on the list gets an alert and the first to tap gets the spot. 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

Forms that adapt — pregnancy, injury history and prior pole experience fields appear only when relevant. E-signature waivers included. Per-service forms that ask clients to re-sign when something changes, useful 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 $15), 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 managing each apparatus matters day to day, 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. If a pole goes down between classes, bookings reroute automatically.

Does Junocal support pole teacher training cohorts?

Yes. Pole instructor certifications, beginner blocks and progression courses run as term-based courses: fixed weekly slot, total session count, one upfront 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 $15/month (Junocal Starter) to $260+/month (Mindbody Accelerate) for a comparable feature set. Most boutique pole studios spend $15-$29/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).
