ohelloo Work for studios · last checked
What is the best software for a small yoga studio?
Yoga studios run on regulars, packs and a full Saturday class. Here is how the apps compare for that.
What ohelloo Work does for a studio today
Everything here works in Work now, for your whole team. Checked against the app on October 20, 2026.
- Classes with a set number of spots, an instructor and weekly repeats
- A waitlist that fills itself: when someone cancels by text or from their link, the first person waiting gets the spot and a text
- Your class schedule online: clients book a spot from their phone with their name and mobile, no account or app
- Clients pay as they book, bring a friend and check themselves in from their phone
- Memberships and class packs: checking someone in takes a visit, so there’s nothing to ring up
- Memberships that charge the saved card each month, try again when a card fails, warn before a card runs out, and pause
- An intro offer, one per new person, claimed when they book
- One-on-one sessions and trainer session packs, with deposits and a reminder text they answer
- Late-cancel and no-show fees on classes as well as sessions, on a paid plan
- Class reminders the evening before (reply C to confirm), and a text to everyone booked when a class is cancelled
- Waivers signed online before the first class, by a parent or guardian for under-18s
- Instructor pay per class or per head, sub requests, and payroll with commission and tips
- Several locations in one account
- ClassPass and Wellhub, capped: you choose how many spots each class gives them, and their bookings are added to your roster (the automatic link is in progress)
- Studio reports: attendance, who’s slipping away, and a win-back text
- An AI receptionist answers the calls you miss and takes down what they want (100 calls a month on Get booked, $79 a month). It books them into a class too
- A texting inbox, so you text clients back and forth from your ohelloo number
- Tap to Pay: take a card on your phone at the front desk, with no card reader to buy
- Your website and Google listing too: Get booked ($79 a month) adds a simple website, your Google listing set up and a text back to every missed call; Get regulars ($299) builds a full website with booking in it and keeps your Google listing fresh

What does a yoga studio need from its software?
A class schedule clients book from their phone, class packs and memberships that count visits, an intro offer for first-timers, a waitlist, waivers, and instructor pay. Texting and someone answering the phone come next.
How much is yoga studio software?
From free (ohelloo Work’s free plan, where clients pay 5% + 25¢ when they pay online) to $59 a month (Punchpass), $79 and up per location (Mindbody), and $79 a month for the whole team on ohelloo Work’s Get booked, with a website and your Google listing.
Can clients book a yoga class without an app?
On ohelloo Work, yes: they open your class schedule page, pick a class and book with their name and mobile.
Can you move my studio over?
Yes, and we do it for you at no charge. Download your client list from your old app, and we bring it in, put in each person’s visits left on their pack or membership, and set up your classes and prices with you on a call. Saved cards come over where your old app’s payment company allows it, and everyone else gets a link to add their card again. Keep your old app running until you’re ready.
Do my clients pay a fee?
Only on the free plan, and only when they pay online: 5% + 25¢, shown as an online booking fee before they pay. You can pay it for them instead. On Get booked ($79 a month) nothing is added to what your clients pay, and a card costs Stripe’s own 2.9% + 30¢.
Is there a contract with ohelloo Work?
No. The free plan has no monthly price at all, and Get booked, $79 a month for the whole team, is month to month with your first 14 days free. Cancel before a month ends and you don’t pay for the next one.
