Walla software, read in context
What Walla is, who it fits, where the add-on stack pushes the all-in cost up, and the class-first alternatives for boutique pilates, yoga, barre and dance studios — and the solo instructors who teach across them.
Current Walla pricing, with the math shown
Walla's main pricing page lists Core at $320/month per location and Pro at $599/month per location. On Core, the Branded Studio App is $149/month and Website & SEO Services is $199/month: $320 + $149 + $199 = $668/month, or $8,016/year. Signature onboarding adds $429 once.
Walla's June 2026 support article presents separate annually-billed and monthly figures, so a buyer should use the signed order form as the final contract price. We preserve that discrepancy instead of blending the two official pages.
What Walla actually does
Walla is studio management software for boutique class-based studios. Built by a team with prior Mindbody background, it positions as the operator-UX-polished alternative to the older incumbents. Class scheduling, memberships, packs, intake forms, payments and reporting are in the base product. The branded studio app, Website & SEO Services and two-way text messaging are priced separately on Core; the app and texting are included on Pro.
The comparison checklist for class-first tools
When evaluating Walla against the alternatives, these are the dimensions that move the all-in cost and the operational fit:
- Base subscription vs all-in. Walla's base tier looks competitive against Mindbody Accelerate. Factor the add-on stack (branded app, Pro website, two-way SMS) into the comparison rather than the sticker.
- Pick-a-spot at the entry tier. Whether apparatus or station booking is gated to a higher tier or included on every plan. Material for reformer pilates and barre studios.
- Payment processor ownership. Whether the studio uses its own Stripe Connect Standard account at published rates, or bundled processing with markup over Stripe's rate.
- Annual contract vs month-to-month. Whether the commitment is multi-month with auto-renewal, or flat monthly with cancel-anytime.
- Term-based courses built in. Whether the tool ships fixed-cohort programmes (eight-week beginner blocks, teacher trainings) built in, or makes you piece them together from recurring classes.
- Hybrid in-person and online. Whether one class can hold separate in-room and online capacities — with in-person and online spots counted separately — or makes you run two separate classes.
- Data export and exit. Whether CSV export of full client list, bookings, payments and intake responses is available free and on-demand, or gated behind cancellation workflows.
Where Junocal fits on this checklist
- Flat published pricing. Starter $15, Studio $29, Growth $69. No add-on stack; the branded storefront, SMS reminders, automated client emails, term-based courses and hybrid classes are included rather than upsold.
- Pick-a-spot included on every plan. Reformer bed assignment, spot-by-the-barre, per-pole booking — all on the $15 Starter tier.
- Stripe Connect Standard direct. Your Stripe account, your rates, funds settle to your bank. Junocal never touches your money and adds no processing markup.
- No annual contract. Flat monthly, cancel any time, no auto-renewal trap.
- Term-based courses built in. Eight-week beginner blocks and 200-hour teacher trainings sell as one fixed cohort, paid once up front. Junocal creates the individual sessions for you.
- One-click CSV export. Full client list, bookings, payments, intake responses. Free, always available, not gated behind cancellation.
