We checked Mindbody's business pricing page on 12 November 2026. Mindbody states the amounts in USD and says nothing about tax. Seat figures below come from quoteSeats in our pricing code, run the same day. A search for this phrase returns review roundups and studio class offers. The software bill is the business page.
The published floor
Mindbody prints one software price on that page: plans start at $79 USD/month per location. Mindbody places that line above the plan cards. You can talk to sales about discounts for your studio's size and budget. Mindbody leaves those discounts off the page.
A year at that floor is $79 × 12 = $948 per location. Mindbody publishes no annual rate, no contract length and no free-trial length. Each card says "Let's talk".
Mindbody does not assign the $79 to Starter, Accelerate or Ultimate. Review sites print tier prices, and those sites disagree with each other. The vendor page does not print them, so this article leaves them out.
The three named plans
Mindbody names three plans for a new buyer. Mindbody labels Ultimate "Best Value" and prints no dollar amount next to the badge.
Starter lists business management tools, integrated payments, branded website booking widgets, a website, a listing on the Mindbody app, and basic reporting.
Accelerate includes Starter, plus analytics and reporting, room and resource management for spaces and rentals, Client Pick-a-Spot, promo codes, and access to premium add-ons.
Ultimate includes Accelerate, plus automated email and text campaigns and templates, tools to grow marketing lists, 24/7 AI front desk support, a sales pipeline for leads, analytics for client growth and retention, and higher message limits with lower rates on marketing emails and texts. Mindbody does not print those message rates.

Mindbody says the app listing reaches 3M+ shoppers a month. That figure is Mindbody's claim on the pricing page. We did not audit the traffic.
Extra staff logins add no per-person software fee on these plans. Mindbody bills the location.
Mindbody says the processor account has no fee each month and no minimum. That line describes the processor account. The software floor is $79/month per location.
Ultimate Plus, and two pages that disagree
The software package breakdown, updated 28 September 2026, says Ultimate Plus is no longer sold to new subscribers. An existing Ultimate Plus subscriber keeps the package, and a location they add can use it too. A new subscriber adds the Branded Mobile App to Ultimate as an add-on. The public pricing page on 12 November 2026 does not list Ultimate Plus.
The same article says Accelerate Version 1 and Ultimate Version 1 are no longer sold, and features can vary by region and purchase date.
Two official pages describe Accelerate in different words. The pricing page puts email and SMS marketing on Ultimate, and leaves it off Starter and Accelerate. The breakdown, and the package overview updated 8 April 2026, describe Accelerate as the plan with email campaigns and text confirmations. Ask sales which description is on the quote. This article uses the pricing page for the buyer-facing table.
Pick-a-Spot has the same split. The pricing page includes it on Accelerate and Ultimate. The breakdown limits Pick-a-Spot to Accelerate Version 2, Ultimate Version 2 and Ultimate Plus. Version 1 is no longer sold.
The package overview lists add-ons that carry an extra fee each month: Branded Mobile App, Messenger[ai], branded web tools, on-demand video, livestream and Insights. Mindbody prints no fee. The branded app page prints no price per month either.
The branded app
Mindbody's branded app page says clients book, buy and stay connected from their phones. You approve the logo and colours. Mindbody manages the requirements for the App Store and Google Play listing. The FAQ on that page says you need an Apple Developer account before the listing starts. The pricing page marks the branded app as an add-on on Accelerate and Ultimate, and leaves it off Starter. Neither page prints the add-on price.
A store listing puts the studio name where clients search, and the icon on the phone is the studio's. Before this platform, we published over 10,000 white-label coaching apps to the App Store and Google Play.
Kahunas branding (logo, colour and a custom domain) starts at 200 seats, $200/month (200 × $1). A 5-seat plan excludes it. Read the branded app page and the white-label fitness app guide.
Payments sit outside the software subscription
Mindbody says you process payments with no fee each month and no minimum. The Mindbody Payments rates article, updated 4 August 2026, prints no US card rate. Mindbody tells US businesses to email joinmbpayments@mindbodyonline.com. Mindbody discloses your rate and terms before you submit an application. After approval, you read the rate on the Payouts report or in the Payments Portal.
Client payments through the online store or the Mindbody app are card-not-present. A tap, chip or swipe on a reader is card-present. Autopays use the card-not-present rate, because Mindbody stores the card. Mindbody deducts the fee from the payout.
This article prints no US percentage. Mindbody prints no US rate on the current help page. A Booker rates article is a different product, and review sites print rates the current US row omits. We leave both out of the table below.
Kahunas payments sell coaching packages through your own Stripe or PayPal account. Kahunas takes 0% commission. Stripe or PayPal charge their usual fees. Those processor fees sit outside the seat price, the same way a Mindbody card rate sits outside the $79 floor. Every column below leaves standard card fees out. Read the sums as software bills. Card fees sit outside them.
A class pack is a client purchase
A price on a studio's Mindbody listing, a class pack, or an intro offer is what a client pays that studio for classes. The business pricing page is the software subscription, and it starts at $79 USD/month per location. Use the business page when you are pricing the software.
A solo coach's two bills
Disclosure: Kahunas is our product. The Kahunas column is Kahunas tier-gated seat pricing.
Mindbody bills per location. The published floor for one location is $79/month, and $79 × 12 = $948 a year. Kahunas bills per seat. A seat is an active client or a non-archived team member. Kahunas leaves the owner off that count. The minimum is 3 seats. We ran quoteSeats on 12 November 2026.
| Roster | Mindbody, one location | Kahunas tier-gated seat pricing |
|---|---|---|
| 1 client | From $79/month. Mindbody assigns that floor to no named tier. $79 × 12 = $948 a year. Mindbody publishes no annual rate. | 3 seats. One and two clients meet the 3-seat minimum. $5 × 3 = $15/month, $180 a year if you pay each month. Annual billing is 20% off: $12/month, charged as $144 a year. Excludes recipes, automations, leads, team tools, education, challenges, communities and branding. |
| 5 clients | The same published floor, $79/month per location. Mindbody prices the location, not this roster. | 5 × $5 = $25/month, $300 a year if you pay each month. Annual billing: $20/month, $240 a year. Same exclusions as the 3-seat row. Branding starts at 200 seats, $200/month. |
You buy different software in each column. Mindbody's $79 floor covers class booking, a public listing, a website, a point of sale and payments for one location, with unlimited staff logins on the published plans. The Kahunas $15 and $25 quotes cover workout plans, nutrition plans, check-ins, habits, messaging and package payments for that seat count. A drop-in class list and a seat count measure different things. We do not convert locations into seats, or class bookings into clients.
At the published floor, $79 sits $64 above the 1-client quote ($79 minus $15 = $64) and $54 above the 5-client quote ($79 minus $25 = $54). Over 12 months of paying each month, those gaps are $948 minus $180 = $768 and $948 minus $300 = $648. Treat each gap as a difference between two bills. Mindbody may quote a higher tier, or a discount, and Mindbody prints neither figure. You do not pocket that gap by moving a class roster onto seat software.
From 13 clients, Kahunas bills 25 seats at $62.50/month, because 25 × $2.50 = $62.50 and 13 × $5 = $65. We do not quote a ceiling for a range. From 3 seats the price is $15/month. 25 seats cost $62.50/month. 50 seats cost $100/month (50 × $2).
Staff logins and the location fee are separate lines. Mindbody includes unlimited users on Starter, Accelerate and Ultimate. Kahunas counts each non-archived team member as a seat, and team tools start at 50 seats ($100/month). A solo coach with no staff pays no team-seat line.
Ask sales before you treat $79 as the invoice for Accelerate or Ultimate. A multi-location studio, or a studio that needs the Mindbody app listing, can receive a quote under or over a Kahunas seat bill. We cannot price that quote from the public page.
Limits on the Kahunas side
Mindbody runs the studio day. You publish a class schedule, sell classes at the desk or online, let a member pick a spot on Accelerate and Ultimate, book a room or a piece of equipment, and list the business on the Mindbody app, where people look for a class. Unlimited staff logins mean a front desk adds no per-person software fee on the published plans.
Kahunas sells a different product, and these limits are ours:
- Our calendar lets a client request a session inside the hours you set. It has no public class timetable and no Pick-a-Spot.
- Our payments sell coaching packages. They have no studio till and no class-pack checkout.
- We do not list you on a consumer class marketplace.
- Recipes, automations and leads start at 25 seats ($62.50/month).
- Team tools start at 50 seats ($100/month). Education, challenges and communities start at 100 seats ($150/month, 100 × $1.50).
- Logo, colour and a custom domain start at 200 seats ($200/month).
A coach who needs the listing, the class schedule and the front desk keeps a location product for that job. A coach who writes training plans for a named roster uses a per-seat platform for that job. Some studios want both. A studio that wants both jobs buys both products.
Kahunas offers a 14-day trial on the plan you choose. Stripe takes a card at sign-up and charges nothing until the trial ends. Mindbody publishes no trial length on the pricing page. Mindbody sends you to a demo form.
