OfferingTree gives solo yoga teachers a website, booking and email marketing in one friendly package at a fair price. But the entry plan adds a 2.9% platform fee on top of Stripe, studio plans run $100–$225/month, and hosting is US-based. Class Booking covers the same ground with EU data residency and no platform fee on any plan.
Why studios switch
OfferingTree's Essentials plan charges a 2.9% platform fee on top of Stripe's processing; you have to upgrade to Pro ($49/month) to remove it. Class Booking never adds a platform fee — on any plan.
Studio plans run $100–$225/month. Class Booking's Studio plan covers multi-staff studios at a fraction of that.
For European teachers and studios, Class Booking's Danish hosting keeps member data inside the EU — simpler GDPR posture, no transfer mechanisms to document.
Class Booking's UI is available in English, Danish, German, Swedish, Norwegian and Spanish, so your members book in their own language.
Instructor portal, shift swaps and payroll are part of Class Booking's core product — not reserved for $200/month plans.

Honest take
We're not the right fit for everyone. Here's when you should stay with OfferingTree.
Tell us when you want to switch. We export your members, classes, schedules and active subscriptions from OfferingTree, 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.
Usually 3–5 days for solo teachers, 5–7 for studios. We import your clients, passes and booking history, rebuild your key pages in our CMS, verify everything with you on a call, and cut over on a weekend.
Usually yes, cleanly. OfferingTree runs payments on Stripe, and so does Class Booking — active subscriptions transfer via Stripe's official tokenisation with billing dates preserved. Members don't notice. We confirm your setup on the discovery call.
We rebuild it on Class Booking's CMS — most solo-teacher sites are a handful of pages and transfer in a day. If you use a custom domain, it moves with you; your links keep working.
On OfferingTree Essentials, a teacher selling €2,000/month pays about €58/month in platform fees on top of Stripe, plus the subscription. Class Booking at €10 / £8 / $13/month adds nothing on top of Stripe. From Pro upwards OfferingTree also drops the fee — but then the subscriptions are comparable, and the EU hosting and language support tip the scale for European teachers.
No — our pricing is the same for everyone, which is part of keeping it low. If you qualify for OfferingTree's 30% discount, run the numbers both ways; for many solo teachers it genuinely narrows the gap.
