Mana is a Swedish growth and booking platform with a native branded app on every plan and a free plan for studios starting out. Class Booking takes a different approach to pricing and studio structure: one flat plan price regardless of member count, plus fixed spots and family memberships. This page shows where the two differ, so you can choose what fits your studio.
Where we differ
Mana and Class Booking both handle the core of running a studio: class booking, memberships and payments. They differ in focus, pricing model and setup. Below are the points where Class Booking takes its own approach, so you can judge which matters for your studio. For Mana's current features and prices, check its own website.
Class Booking is the same plan price whether you have 120 or 850 members, so growing your studio doesn't change your software bill. Mana's pricing follows the number of active members, per its public pricing page (July 2026), which can suit studios that are starting out.
A member keeps the same weekly spot in the same class, season after season, with a waitlist behind it.
One paid subscription covers several named family members, each with their own profile.
Riding schools, music schools, kids' classes and studios that enrol members for a whole season fit our season model and fixed spots.
Side by side

Fair take
Different studios need different systems. Here's when Mana may suit you better.
Tell us when you want to switch. We export your members, classes, schedules and active subscriptions from Mana, 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.
The models differ. Mana's price follows your number of active members, with a free plan for studios starting out, per its public pricing page (July 2026). Class Booking is a flat plan price that does not change with your member count. Check Mana's current pricing page for your member count and compare it with our public prices.
When you are starting out with a smaller member base and want a branded app without a software bill, Mana's free plan is a strong option. Class Booking's flat price becomes relevant as your member count grows, or when fixed spots and family memberships matter to you.
Yes. Mana lists MobilePay, and so does Class Booking.
Yes. You export your members, class passes and active subscriptions from Mana, and we import them to Class Booking. Members re-enter their card or MobilePay on first login, and we provide an email template you can send the day before.
If you are starting out and want a free branded app, Mana is a good fit. If you want a flat price as you grow, fixed spots for seasons and terms, or family memberships on one subscription, Class Booking is built for that.
