Studio software for solo instructors

Booking software for solo pilates, yoga, dance, pole, barre and movement instructors. Take bookings online, sell packs and memberships, manage your clients and get paid on your own Stripe. Full-featured, no annual contract. From $15 a month.

who this is for

Built for one instructor, not a chain

If you teach on your own — out of a rented room, a home studio, online, or a mix — the big-studio platforms are overkill. You don't need a front desk, a multi-location dashboard or a twelve-month contract. You need to take bookings, get paid and keep your clients coming back.

Junocal is full-featured from the first plan. Starter at $15 a month gives you pick-a-spot booking, term-based courses, packs, memberships, waitlists, intake forms and every automated client email — nothing held back because you're one person. It's affordable, not stripped down.

And when you grow into a team or a second location, you move up a tier without rebuilding anything. Start small, stay small as long as you like.

what you get on starter

Everything a solo instructor runs on, from $15

Take bookings online

A booking page clients can use from their phone — single classes, term-based courses and appointments, all on one calendar. Two-mode waitlists fill empty spots automatically when someone cancels.

Sell packs and memberships

Multi-class packs (5-pack, 10-pack) and recurring memberships, paid for the same way as a single drop-in. Clients buy, use credits and renew without you touching anything. Members can use packs too.

Your own Stripe, no markup

Connect your own Stripe account and take payments at Stripe's published rates — no Junocal processing markup, no marketplace fees. ACH and UK Direct Debit at the standard rate. Money lands in your balance directly.

Automatic booking emails

Confirmations, 24-hour reminders, welcome emails, win-back nudges and failed-payment recovery all send themselves. Every automated client email is included on Starter — not an add-on.

Online or in person

Run a class in the room, online over a livestream link, or both at once with spots counted separately. Online attendees get the meeting link in their confirmation and reminder automatically.

Just the setup you need

One room, one layout, one instructor — if that's your whole operation, that's all you configure. Pick-a-spot floor-plan booking, intake forms, reviews and lead capture are there when you want them.

get paid your way

Payments on your own Stripe, emails on autopilot

You connect your own Stripe account and clients pay you at Stripe's published rates — no Junocal markup, no marketplace commission. Card, ACH and UK Direct Debit are all there, and the money lands in your balance directly. Junocal never holds your funds.

Booking confirmations, 24-hour reminders, welcome emails, win-back nudges and failed-payment recovery all send themselves. You set them up once; they run in the background while you teach. Every one of those automated client emails is included on Starter.

one room is fine

Run online, in person, or both

Teach in the room, online over a livestream link, or both on the same class — set the in-room spots and the online spots separately. Online attendees get the meeting link in their confirmation and their reminder automatically.

If one room and one layout is your whole operation, that's all you set up — no multi-location wiring to wade through. The scheduling stays simple until you want more, and pick-a-spot floor-plan booking is there the day you do.

modalities you can run

One tool for however you teach

Pilates

Mat and reformer classes, pick-a-spot reformer booking, packs and memberships for regulars.

Yoga

Drop-ins, class packs, memberships and term-based course blocks for beginner series.

Dance

Leveled adult classes, term blocks for progressions, drop-ins and memberships on one calendar.

Pole

Level-tagged classes, small-capacity rooms, intake forms and waitlists for popular slots.

Barre

Recurring memberships, packs, hybrid in-person and online classes from a single room.

Movement

Mobility, conditioning and mixed-format movement classes — flexible scheduling primitives.

when you scale

Move up to Studio when you grow a team

Starter covers one location, up to 10 rooms and up to 5 instructor seats — room to grow without changing plans. When you add staff who need their own logins, a front-desk role, email broadcasts, a substitute pool, or a second location, Studio at $29/month unlocks them. Everything you built on Starter carries straight over — no rebuild, no migration.

the things solo instructors ask

Questions

Is Junocal good for solo instructors?

Yes. Junocal is full-featured from $15/month on Starter, with no annual contract — built so a single instructor can run bookings, packs, memberships and client emails without a front desk or a team. You get online booking, multi-class packs, recurring memberships, automated reminders and your own Stripe on the first plan. Nothing is gated behind a higher tier just because you're one person.

Do I need a physical studio to use Junocal?

No. Plenty of solo instructors run online-only or from a single rented room. You can run classes online, in person, or both on the same class — set spots for the room and spots for the livestream separately. If one room and one layout is all you need, that's all you set up. No multi-location complexity unless you grow into it.

How do I take payment as a solo instructor?

You connect your own Stripe account during onboarding (Stripe Connect Standard), and clients pay you at Stripe's published rates with no Junocal markup. Card, ACH (US) and UK Direct Debit are all supported. Money lands in your Stripe balance directly — Junocal never holds your funds, and disputes route straight to Stripe.

What is the all-in cost?

Starter is $15/month flat (or $150/year), and that's the whole software cost — there's no annual contract, no marketplace commission and no processing markup on top. The only other cost is Stripe's standard published processing rate, which you'd pay with any tool. Free CSV export and free migration in your first 30 days are included.

When do I outgrow Starter?

Starter covers one location, up to 10 rooms and up to 5 instructor seats — enough for most solo instructors and small teams for a long time. You move up to Studio ($29/month) when you add staff who need their own logins, a front-desk role, email broadcasts, a substitute pool, or more than one location. Everything you set up on Starter carries straight over.
