The only dollar their pricing page printed

Fetched from mindbodyonline.com/business/pricing on September 22, 2026. The page says starting at $79 USD/month per location, and tells you to connect with sales about discounts. Starter is described as booking, payments, reporting, a website, branded booking widgets, and a listing on the Mindbody app. Accelerate adds analytics, room and resource scheduling, promo codes, and access to premium add-ons. Ultimate adds email and text campaigns, lead tools, and what they call 24/7 AI front desk support.

The comparison table labels Starter, Accelerate, and Ultimate with “Let’s talk.” No second or third subscription price was in the text we fetched. We will not guess Ultimate. A footnote says not all features are available in all regions or on all tiers.

They bill locations, not logins

The feature row “Unlimited users” is checked on Starter, Accelerate, and Ultimate: grow the team without paying for additional logins. The FAQ repeats it. You get unlimited users per location. The subscription goes up when you add locations, not when you add people to a location they already have. There is no setup fee on any plan, in their words.

That meter is different from Booksy’s $20 per extra team member and from Vagaro’s bookable-license FAQ. Those invoices are on Booksy pricing and Vagaro pricing. Mindbody’s published complaint, if you have one, is the per-location start and whatever sales quotes for the higher tier — not a per-tech line on the page we fetched.

The marketplace fee they did print

Listing on the Mindbody app is described as free, with access pitched to 3 million monthly shoppers. A fee applies only when the app delivers a client you would not have received otherwise. They state that fee as 20%, capped at $30 (or 30 in local currency), and only on the first purchase for someone new to the business. Later bookings are described as commission-free. An existing client, a tracked referral link, or a client who names you as how they found you is described as no fee.

That is the part a nail salon or a beauty salon should compare to Booksy Boost, which is a different percent on a different company’s page. We do not blend 20% and 30% into one “marketplace fee.”

Their AI front desk is a tier, not a price we can quote

AI Concierge is described as a 24/7 front desk assistant for client questions, missed calls, and sales. On the feature table it is closed on Starter, an add-on on Accelerate, and included on Ultimate. No add-on dollar was printed. Ultimate’s own monthly price was not printed. We do not invent either number, and we do not claim AIVA is the same product.

AIVA is the shop-number layer at $200 one-time. No monthly plan fee. No free trial. Get AIVA — $200. Hear her at (215) 791-6766. If you need Mindbody’s marketplace and their higher-tier front desk, stay and ask Mindbody what Ultimate costs. This page will not supply that quote.

When Calendar is the alternative

Calendar is the alternative when you do not need the Mindbody app, the class and membership machinery, or a sales conversation for Accelerate and Ultimate. You get a booking website and Google Reserve for $20/month, unlimited staff, unlimited customers. Get Calendar — $20/mo. It does not answer the phone. It does not claim Mindbody’s payment stack or a 3 million shopper network. We do not claim a native sync into Mindbody.

The pricing page prints named customer quotes. It does not print a star average. We did not load Capterra or G2, so this page has no star score and does not copy those quotes. Other short lists: Vagaro alternatives, Booksy alternative, Fresha alternative. The unlimited-staff explanation is unlimited-staff booking calendar.
