Questions people ask when comparing

How much does Mindbody cost?

It is priced per location and usually quoted after a sales call, which is its own signal. Clubsmith's pricing is flat and public.

Is Mindbody overkill for a small club?

Almost always. It is built for multi-location fitness businesses; a club pays for marketing and integrations it will not use.

Which is faster to set up?

Clubsmith. A club can be taking enrolments the same afternoon; Mindbody is an onboarding project.

Does either take a cut of my payments?
