Switch from Mindbody
A Mindbody alternative built for your kind of studio.
Studios leave Mindbody for clear reasons: price rises, Pick-a-Spot only on higher tiers, a marketplace fee on clients you brought in, and a paid export to leave. Bookify has one product per kind of studio, published prices and an import you check before it goes live.

One product per kind of studio
Leaving Mindbody? Start with your studio's product.
- Bookify Pilates
- Yes, in every plan. The room map opens inside the class with the instructor at the front. Each member's last reformer is picked for them and they can swap it until class starts. You can hold a reformer for a private or an injury, and mark a machine out of service so it can't be booked. Pilates studio software
- Bookify Yoga
- Yes. Sell an intro offer, drop-ins, class cards, monthly or yearly unlimited and limited memberships. Workshops are one-off classes with their own price, and a course sells a whole series, like a six-week beginners course, so buying it books every session. Yoga studio software
- Bookify Fitness
- Yes, in every plan. The room map opens inside the class with the coach at the front and bike rows staggered. Each member's last bike is picked for them and they can swap until class starts. Bikes or stations out of service can't be booked. Fitness studio software
- Bookify Barre
- Yes, in every plan. Barre classes show the room with the mirror at the front. Each client's last spot is picked for them and they can swap until class starts. Spot booking is set per class type, so Sculpt and Stretch can simply count places. Barre studio software
- Bookify Martial Arts
- Yes. Each belt has a colour, an order, a number of stripes and its own rules: classes since the last promotion, time in rank and a minimum age. Every check-in counts toward the next stripe, the Ready to test list fills itself, and every promotion is kept as history. Martial arts software
Moving over
What switching looks like
- Keep every member and every credit. Import clients, active memberships at their price and next bill date, packs with credits left and their expiry, and attendance history. CSV or Excel, split files too.
- See it before it's live. A preview shows the counts first: clients, autopays, packs and credits, duplicate emails and products you still need to match. Nothing changes until you apply it.
- No one is billed twice. Memberships come in paused until your cutover date. Cancel the old autopays that day and Bookify takes over the next bill.
- Match old products to new ones. "10 Class Pack (Reformer)" becomes your 10 pack in one screen. Names don't have to match.
Before you cancel
What to export from Mindbody
Third-party guides report 30 days' notice to cancel and to release card data (estimate).
- Clients: Reports > Clients > Mailing List (free)
- Pack balances: Reports > Clients > Visits Remaining
- Memberships: Reports > Clients > Members, status Active
- Attendance: Reports > Attendance
- Saved cards and autopays: the paid Subscriber Data Export, about $500, 3 to 5 business days (estimate)
Questions
Switching from Mindbody
What is the best Mindbody alternative for my studio?
Pick the Bookify product for your kind of studio: Bookify Pilates, Bookify Yoga, Bookify Fitness, Bookify Barre or Bookify Martial Arts. Each sets up with that studio's rooms, classes, prices and policies, with spot booking, waitlists, packs and memberships in every plan and published prices.
What can I bring over from Mindbody?
Clients, active memberships with their price and next bill date, packs with credits left and expiry, and attendance history. You see a preview before anything is applied.
Will my members be billed twice?
No. Imported memberships stay paused until your cutover date. On that day you cancel the old autopays and Bookify bills from the next due date.
How long does switching take?
The import itself takes minutes once you have the files. The wait is usually the export from your old provider, so ask for it on day one.
How much does Bookify cost?
There are two plans. Free costs $0 a month and charges 5% only on new clients that Bookify sends you. Pro costs $80 a month in US dollars, with no commission on any booking. Both include unlimited teachers and every feature: spot booking, waitlists, packs and memberships. There is no contract, and your members never pay a booking fee.
