The list price
Mindbody starts at $129/month and runs to $449+/month. The sticker price is the smaller half of the bill — transaction fees, add-ons and per-location charges do the rest.
| Plan | Monthly | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $129 | Basic scheduling, one location |
| Accelerate | $269 | Marketing tools, branded app |
| Ultimate | $449 | Advanced reporting |
| Ultimate Plus | Custom | Enterprise features |
These are fitness-business prices. Salon and spa pricing differs. Checked January 2026 — verify before quoting.
Payment processing
Mindbody charges roughly 2.75% + $0.25 per transaction. On membership revenue that compounds fast.
| Monthly revenue | Processing fees |
|---|---|
| $10,000 | ~$300/month |
| $25,000 | ~$720/month |
| $50,000 | ~$1,400/month |
Add-ons
| Add-on | Cost |
|---|---|
| Branded mobile app | $200+/month |
| Marketing suite | $100+/month |
| Additional locations | $50–100/month each |
| Premium support | $50+/month |
Staff logins beyond the base plan allowance are also chargeable.
A realistic total
For a gym doing $25,000/month:
| Item | Monthly |
|---|---|
| Accelerate plan | $269 |
| Payment processing (~2.75%) | ~$720 |
| Branded app | $200 |
| Second location | $75 |
| Total | ~$1,264 |
That is roughly $15,000 a year, against a $129 headline.
What the market charges
| Software | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Superaxe | $97/month |
| Wodify | $97/month |
| Glofox | $110/month |
| Mindbody | $129/month |
| PushPress | $159/month |
List prices as published January 2026, ours included. Every one is subject to the same add-on and processing arithmetic above, so compare the total, not the headline. Superaxe Core at $97 puts all 39 analytical threads in the entry tier rather than gating reporting behind an upgrade.
Is it worth it?
Mindbody is a reasonable choice if you want an established platform with a deep integration ecosystem, or if you are a large multi-location business whose needs match the enterprise tiers.
It is a poor fit if you are a single site paying for capability you do not use, or if the cost of the add-ons has quietly overtaken the value of the platform underneath them.
Switching costs
Most modern gym software supports a Mindbody import. You export members, contracts and payment records as CSV; the new system ingests them; the two run in parallel until you are ready to cut over. For a single location the mechanical work is typically a day or two, not a project.

Scaling with your revenue, not your plan.
Add-ons inflate fast
Branded app, marketing, extra locations, extra seats.
Realistic total is $500–1,500/month
