Gomry supports the live side of a teaching business: scheduled classes, prepaid return visits and public workshops, with customer history across the program. It is an OfferingTree alternative for instructors whose immediate priority is how students book and pay to attend.
An instructor can sell a pack covering selected classes and let students choose their dates later. A guest workshop can have its own ticket, outside that pack. Each class redemption reserves an available place. If the business also sells recorded courses, students still need access to the material they purchased. Replacing OfferingTree’s website builder and paid content therefore involves more than moving live bookings.
Arketa supports live teaching alongside paid video libraries and courses. Momoyoga focuses on yoga classes, passes, memberships and workshops, including online and hybrid participation.
Which alternative fits your business?
| Your main requirement | Start with |
|---|---|
| Live sessions and prepaid return visits, with public-event admission | Gomry |
| Paid digital courses and a video library must accompany live teaching | Arketa |
| A yoga-focused operation built around classes, passes, memberships and workshops | Momoyoga |
Do not move the calendar and leave the paid content behind
An instructor can use one system for a public website, class bookings and recorded material. In that case, replacing the platform is also a website and content-access project. Existing customers may still be owed access to a course even if the teacher stops selling it. A useful alternative comparison separates the public pages from the booking system and from the material available after purchase.
What OfferingTree already covers
OfferingTree documents classes, appointments and events, memberships and packages, a website builder, marketing and on-demand content. Its digital offer includes video libraries, courses and challenges.

How prepaid visits work
- Eligibility: The business selects one Experience or a pool. The balance is shared across those eligible Experiences.
- Reservation: The customer chooses a session and redeems credit during checkout. The reservation consumes actual capacity.
- Terms: The business can define expiry and the ticket tier used for redemption.
- Changes: Existing buyers retain their purchased terms. Stopping new sales does not remove their remaining credit.
- Sales: Bundles can be sold online or through Gomry POS. Credits apply to Experiences rather than one-off Events.
Memberships is currently marked “Coming soon.” Available prepaid Bundles are distinct from recurring membership renewals and allowances.
Other alternatives on the shortlist
Mindbody
Mindbody supports class and appointment scheduling, payments, staff management and reporting. Its consumer app adds a discovery route outside the studio’s own website; its business tools serve the team running the operation. The fitness offering also describes marketing automation and an AI Concierge for customer questions and bookings.
Momence
Momence supports classes, courses, workshops and appointments, with capacity settings and booking restrictions. Its automated waitlists address what happens when someone leaves a full session.

What must remain available to a customer who bought an online course?
The purchased material and its access terms must remain available under the transition arrangement. Moving the live calendar does not transfer the course itself. OfferingTree and Arketa document digital-content products. Gomry’s Experience bookings and prepaid visits address scheduled participation, which is a separate purchase.
Moving from OfferingTree: costs and existing purchases
Inventory the website pages, paid content and live reservations before moving. Preserve access for students who already bought a course, even if new live bookings move first. Compare the combined website, content and booking cost; a standalone booking fee cannot describe the full replacement of an integrated online offer.
Published Gomry terms are available on the pricing page.
