Replacing Walla means deciding how attendance should lead to follow-up. Walla offers operational records and retention tools, including WallaPredict. A studio may need staff to understand a customer's purchases, a community app where members interact, or a system that identifies customers for re-engagement. Those are different jobs.
fitDEGREE combines scheduling with a community feed, invitations and chat. Momence covers classes, courses and appointments with enrollment restrictions and waitlists.
Which alternative fits your business?
| Your main requirement | Start with |
|---|---|
| Customer context across class visits, prepaid packs and public events | Gomry |
| Interaction inside the member app is a priority | fitDEGREE |
| The main challenge is the breadth of booking formats and enrollment rules | Momence |
Decide how attendance information should change follow-up
A studio does not need another dashboard simply to know that some customers have stopped attending. It needs a reliable record and an appropriate action. When replacing a system with retention tools, identify which signals staff use and what communication follows. A customer who has been away for a month may have an expired pack, a scheduling conflict or an unresolved problem; those situations should not all receive the same message.
What Walla already covers
Walla documents scheduling, plans, payments, payroll, marketing and reporting for boutique fitness. Its retention offering includes re-engagement workflows and a product intended to identify customers at risk of leaving.

Alternatives shortlist
fitDEGREE for interaction inside the booking app
fitDEGREE's community tools let members see friends attending a class, send invitations and use chat or the studio feed. Visibility is optional and friend requests require acceptance. The interaction happens in the app used for booking, so the comparison concerns how members participate between visits as well as how staff follow up.
The published scheduling price is $250 monthly or $200 per month billed annually, with a $500 onboarding fee and separate branded-app charges. That cost includes a different member experience from staff using purchase history to decide whom to contact.
Momence for booking formats and their customer follow-up
Momence combines classes, courses, workshops and appointments on the studio calendar, with booking restrictions and automated waiting-list workflows. It is relevant when the studio needs different enrollment formats handled alongside purchases and communication.
Its current pricing is by proposal. Onboarding can involve a guided launch or coordinated migration, depending on the business's plan and eligibility. That distinction affects the work the studio's team will complete during a Walla replacement.
Gomry for customer history across classes and events
Gomry connects purchases and attendance for a small or midsize business running classes and public events. Customers can buy a Bundle for selected Experiences, then use credit to reserve available sessions. A separately ticketed Event remains outside that balance. Contacts gives staff context across those activities when answering a question or deciding on a relevant follow-up.
This is an operational customer record, not a promise of predictive retention. A studio relying on Walla's re-engagement tools or fitDEGREE's member-to-member interaction should compare those workflows separately from the booking and purchase history.
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; fully credit-covered bookings 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.
bsport
bsport documents passes and subscriptions, waitlists, a branded member app, instructor substitutions and payroll. Its platform also includes marketing, audience segmentation and multi-location management.
Mariana Tek
Mariana Tek documents centralized policies, location reporting and staff permissions for multi-location fitness businesses.
WellnessLiving
WellnessLiving describes client management, staff permissions and payroll, forms, reporting and payment/POS tools alongside scheduling. Its staff app supports booking clients into classes and managing purchases. It is relevant when reception needs to handle several parts of a visit, such as registration information, payment and a booking adjustment.
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.
Moving from Walla: costs and existing purchases
fitDEGREE. Its onboarding describes common transfers of client accounts, outstanding packs, active auto-pay memberships and billing schedules. Future class bookings and Walla retention signals are separate records that still need to be accounted for; a member's new app account is not a recreated re-engagement campaign.
Momence. Transfer eligibility depends on the source software, data quality and onboarding plan. Saved cards also depend on the former processor and storage setup. A guided launch leaves the studio preparing information and configuring parts of the account, whereas eligible coordinated onboarding supplies more migration assistance.
Gomry. Keep bookings and remaining rights identifiable separately from the customer contact list. Staff can use purchase and attendance context for manual follow-up, but the contact list does not carry Walla's predictive model or campaigns into the new system.
