Junocal runs the same way Walla does — pick-a-spot floor plans, four-mode cancellation policies, the same waitlist behaviour — with flat £ pricing (£15 / £29 / £69), branded booking included, Bacs Direct Debit on memberships, and no annual contract. Migration from Walla handled in your first 30 days.

Junocal is studio booking and management software for boutique pilates, yoga, barre, and dance studios. From $15/month. Studios keep their own Stripe account, with no marketplace commission and no annual contract. Pick-a-spot booking is included on every plan, alongside term-based courses and hybrid in-person + online classes. Public, transparent pricing in GBP and USD. Founded in 2026 by Sharon Onyinye.
Studios comparing Junocal with Walla most often weigh pricing, payment terms, and contract length — the facts below cover all three.
Junocal is a Walla alternative for UK boutique pilates and yoga studios that want Walla's class-first feature set without the ~$629/month all-in cost, the app and website add-ons, or an annual commitment to earn the lowest rate. The two tools target the same studios and work the same way — the choice is about cost, not capability.
Walla's plans run the booking page under your brand, but the native Branded Studio App is a published $149/month add-on and a Custom Pro Website is another $160/month — roughly £250/month on top of the base tier if you want both. Junocal includes a fully branded storefront — your domain, your themes, no “Powered by” — on every plan from £15.
Walla publishes its tiers in US dollars — Starter $220, Core $320, Pro $599 — so you can see the number, but the entry point converts to a few hundred pounds a month. Junocal publishes three flat £ tiers — £15 / £29 / £69 — that start an order of magnitude lower for comparable class-first capability.
Walla publishes both monthly and annual billing, with annual roughly 18% cheaper — month-to-month is available, but it costs more. Junocal is month-to-month with one-click cancel at a single flat £ price, no annual term to weigh against a discount.
UK studios run on Direct Debit for memberships. Junocal includes Bacs Direct Debit alongside card on every plan, through your own Stripe account at Stripe's standard UK rates — no markup, no held funds, and the same pick-a-spot, four-mode policies and waitlist behaviour you already run on Walla.

Premium positioning where polish is the product
Walla has had a decade to iterate on the customer-facing experience, and the depth shows. For premium UK studios charging £20+/class where every detail of the experience is part of the brand, that polish can justify the price.
An established operator community and mature analytics
Walla has invested in AI-flagged churn-risk scoring and retention cohort analysis, plus an established operator community. If those signals or that network are central to how you run, Walla's depth there is real. Junocal's reporting covers the day-to-day operational dashboard but not the AI-flagged cohort signals yet.

See the page →For UK boutique pilates and yoga studios that want Walla's class-first feature set without the all-in cost, Junocal is the closest direct alternative. The two tools work the same way — pick-a-spot floor plans, four-mode cancellation policies, a waitlist that alerts everyone when a spot opens. Three structural differences for UK operators: flat pricing from £15/month, a branded storefront included rather than Walla's paid app and website add-ons, and Bacs Direct Debit on memberships included on every plan.
Walla publishes its pricing in US dollars — Starter $220, Core $320, Pro $599/month (roughly 18% off on annual). Add the native Branded Studio App ($149) and Custom Pro Website ($160) and a Core studio is around $629/month, roughly $7,500/year before payment processing — a few hundred pounds a month at current rates. Junocal Studio is £29/month all-in (about £350/year), month-to-month, with a branded storefront and Bacs Direct Debit included. That is many multiples of the annual software cost on Walla; the premium buys Walla's customer-facing polish and established operator community.
Yes, on every plan, through your own Stripe account. UK studios can collect recurring membership payments by Bacs Direct Debit as well as card, with no markup from Junocal — you keep your own Stripe Connect Standard account and pay Stripe's standard UK rates directly. Junocal never holds funds and never takes a per-booking commission.
Junocal's published tiers — £15, £29, £69 — are the subscription prices; VAT is applied per your jurisdiction at checkout. Because you process payments through your own Stripe account, your client-facing pricing and VAT handling stay entirely under your control, exactly as they would on Walla. The difference is the software cost beneath it, not how you charge clients.
Yes. Junocal handles migration from Walla during your first 30 days at no extra cost. Walla supports standard data exports — client list, booking history, memberships, packs, intake forms and pick-a-spot assignments. We import everything into a staging copy of your studio, review it with you, then pick a Sunday cutover. Favourite-spot data carries across so clients see the same default reformer on day one. Most UK studios go from export to live in five business days.
14 days free, no card. Flat £ pricing. Branded booking and Bacs Direct Debit included on every tier. The same pick-a-spot you already run.
