Fair take
Different studios need different systems. Here's when iBooking may suit you better.
Tell us when you want to switch. We export your members, classes, schedules and active subscriptions from iBooking, import them to Class Booking, sit on a video call with you to verify everything looks right, and switch your domain over the weekend. Your customers don't notice.

iBooking is built for gyms and fitness centres, with strong access control and resource booking. If that is your operation, it may suit you well. If you run yoga, pilates or class-based sessions, Class Booking is studio-first, with seasons, memberships and fixed spots as the core.
Yes. Class Booking has a fixed-spot subscription: a reserved recurring seat with a waitlist. If this matters to you, ask both providers how they handle it.
Class Booking runs in seven languages on your own Stripe account, so it fits studios in many countries. iBooking is tuned for Norwegian operations, including Avtalegiro, which is a strength for Norwegian operators.
It depends on the setup, which we confirm on the discovery call. Avtalegiro mandates do not move to a card-based system automatically; where that applies, members set up payment once on first login on Class Booking, and we provide an email template you can send the day before.
