Gatherly vs Mindbody

Gatherly brings class scheduling, booking, payments, student self check-in, attendance, student records, packs, memberships, waivers, intake questions, booking confirmations, broadcast email and revenue reporting together in a phone-first studio tool.

Gatherly’s focus is the work around teaching: see who is booked, who has paid and who has arrived from your phone. This is a fit statement, not a claim that another product cannot support those tasks.

Mindbody’s public pricing page lists plans starting at $79 USD per month per location. Starter includes booking, payments, reporting and an app listing. Accelerate adds room and resource management; Ultimate includes email and SMS campaigns. A starting price is not a quote for every configuration or every fee.

The business subscription is $1 USD per billable calendar day, plus a 1% Gatherly fee on card payments and recorded offline payments. The studio bears the Gatherly fee. A full 30-day billable month costs $30 before payment fees; a full 31-day billable month costs $31.

First 3 months on us means the signup calendar month plus the next two calendar months are subscription-free. It is not a rolling 90-day trial. The offer covers the business subscription, not a waiver of transaction fees.

Compare subscription charges, payment-related charges, required add-ons and contract terms for your actual workflow. Gatherly’s percentage fee means a lower base subscription does not establish a lower total cost at every payment volume.

Choose Mindbody if your requirements include broader room or resource management, an app marketplace presence, or marketing campaigns offered in its higher plans. Match the plan to those needs and request the full commercial terms.

Choose Gatherly if your priority is connected class booking, payment, self check-in and student records for a small teaching business, managed from your phone. Confirm any specialist requirement before moving your records or committing to a plan.
