The math, spelled out
Mindbody side: Accelerate subscription × 12 + extra locations × per-location tier × 12 + 20% on your marketplace-attributed revenue + 30 bps on your card volume. Junocal side: Studio subscription × 12 + extra locations × per-location tier × 12. No marketplace, no processing markup — you keep your own Stripe account at your existing rates.
FAQ
Why compare to Mindbody Accelerate specifically?
Accelerate is the tier where pick-a-spot booking is unlocked, which is load-bearing for reformer studios and most multi-instructor pilates and yoga rooms. Starter is too thin for the operational shape; Ultimate/Ultimate Plus are franchise tiers. Accelerate is the tier most boutique studios actually buy.
Is the 20% marketplace commission really 20%?
Yes — Mindbody publishes 20% on bookings from clients who discovered the studio through the Mindbody consumer app, capped at $30 per transaction. Once a client is attributed via marketplace, follow-on bookings inside the attribution window (typically 30–90 days, varies by configuration) also pay the commission, even when booked through your own page. The calculator applies the rate to your stated marketplace share.
What about the contract?
Mindbody contracts run 12–24 months with auto-renewal. The calculator doesn't bake that in as a cost line because contract risk is qualitative, not a recurring fee, but the renewal pricing typically lifts 5–15% YoY across the category. Junocal is month-to-month with one-click cancel — no contract math required.
Does Junocal really have zero marketplace and processing fees?
Yes. We don't run a marketplace — there's no consumer-facing app that lists your studio next to your competitors and charges you commission when someone books. And we use Stripe Connect Standard, so your existing Stripe rates pass through directly. Junocal never holds funds, never marks up processing, and never sees your card data.
