Vagaro Alternatives for Fitness and Mixed Wellness Businesses

A mixed wellness business may sell group classes and individual treatments under the same brand. A class needs an available participant place; a treatment also depends on a practitioner's time and sometimes a room. A Vagaro alternative should preserve the part of that service mix the business intends to move.

Acuity Scheduling supports private appointments and group classes around the provider’s calendar. WellnessLiving adds forms, staff permissions and payroll to customer and booking administration.

Which alternative fits your business?

Account for the appointment side of a mixed business

A wellness business may sell a group class, a private session and a service appointment under one brand. Those purchases reserve different things. A class consumes one place in a scheduled group; an appointment consumes a provider’s time and may require a specific room. A useful Vagaro alternative must fit the full service mix being moved, not only the part that resembles ticketing.

What Vagaro already covers

Vagaro’s fitness product documents class scheduling, memberships and class packs, customer check-in and client records. Its consumer marketplace provides another route to discovery. Memberships can combine eligible services, classes or products, and its wider business spans beauty and wellness.

Alternatives shortlist

Acuity when clients choose a practitioner's time

Acuity organizes appointments around provider or location calendars and also supports group classes. Availability controls determine when a client can book a private service; packages and subscriptions give customers purchase options beyond a single appointment. That is useful when the practitioner calendar drives the operation.

Its Standard plan includes packages and recurring billing with up to six calendars, at US$34 per month or US$27 with annual billing, excluding taxes and payment processing. A calendar represents a provider or location's availability, rather than six group-class places.

WellnessLiving for reception and staff administration

WellnessLiving's staff app lets staff book services, change availability and sell passes or memberships. Client forms, permissions and payroll sit alongside booking and payment tools. It is relevant when a Vagaro move includes the front desk's full working day, not only a public class page.

Starter includes one staff member; Business expands to unlimited staff and marketing functions. Current advertised discounts cover only the first two months. An operation with several practitioners should price its ongoing staff and feature scope, not the introductory rate alone.

Gomry for group classes and public events

Gomry covers the group-participation side of a mixed wellness business. Publish Experiences with dates and participant capacity, and use a Bundle for prepaid visits across selected sessions. Customers book available dates using their credit. Subscriptions provide recurring access to eligible Experiences; one-off Events have separate tickets, outside the Bundle balance. Contacts keeps purchases and attendance together.

This is relevant when group classes and public events are the work being moved. A practitioner appointment also depends on the provider's time and sometimes a shared room, so include those availability controls if the individual-service operation is moving too.

Gomry has no monthly platform subscription. Standard USD online ticket sales cost 3.9% + $0.79 per paid ticket, plus processing. Online Bundle fees apply once to the total pack price, including one fixed fee per purchase. Subscription fees apply once per payment, initially and at each renewal, with one fixed fee per charge and separate processing. Bookings fully covered by credits or included access add no service or processing fee. See currency-specific fees and conditions.

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.

Pike13

Pike13 documents classes and appointments, client management, recurring billing, reporting and mobile tools. It also offers client, staff and check-in app experiences.

Glofox

Glofox documents memberships, credit packs, booking, billing, a branded app, CRM and multi-location tools. It also describes automated handling of failed payments.

OfferingTree

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.

TeamUp

TeamUp describes configurable schedules and membership tiers, including offers such as private coaching, additional sessions and workshops. It also offers migration assistance.

Moving from Vagaro: costs and existing purchases

Acuity. CSV imports cover clients and appointments; a group class needs a separate row per attendee and a configured destination class. The import excludes payment information, and availability settings are not imported. The new practitioner calendars therefore still need their booking rules. Acuity also excludes packages, gift certificates and subscriptions from this import; those existing purchases and ongoing billing require their own transition arrangement.

WellnessLiving. Its onboarding handles data migration separately from the payment-provider export needed for recurring cards. Its pricing FAQ says many processors can supply encrypted card information for a fee; that is a conditional processor route, not a guarantee for every Vagaro account.

Gomry. Contact import is separate from recreating group-session bookings, remaining visits and expiry. Coordinate the old and new recurring billing at cutover. Practitioner appointments and shared-room commitments still need their own availability process if that side of the business moves.
