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.

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 ~£500/month all-in cost, the branded-booking add-on, or the annual commitment. The two tools target the same studios and work the same way — the choice is about cost, pricing transparency and contract terms, not capability.
Walla's base plan runs the booking page on a Walla-branded subdomain; moving it to your own domain with full customisation is a separate add-on most UK studios treat as non-negotiable, taking the realistic cost to around £500/month. Junocal includes a fully branded storefront — your domain, your themes, no “Powered by” — on every plan from £15.
Walla's pricing is quote-based with variation by studio size, and standard UK terms run on an annual commitment. You contact sales to find out what you'll actually pay. Junocal publishes three flat tiers — £15 / £29 / £69 — on the website, always, with no quote and no call required to see the number.
Walla's standard pricing involves an annual commitment at the base tier and above, with month-to-month available only by negotiation. Junocal is month-to-month with one-click cancel — no annual lock-in, no auto-renewing term to time your exit around.
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 public pricing from £15/month (no quote), branded booking included rather than a ~£240/month add-on, and Bacs Direct Debit on memberships included on every plan.
Walla's all-in cost for a UK studio — base subscription plus the branded-booking add-on most studios treat as essential — lands around £500/month, roughly £6,000/year on the standard annual commitment, before payment processing. Junocal Studio is £29/month all-in (about £350/year), month-to-month, with branded booking and Bacs Direct Debit included. That is roughly 17× 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.
