Mana is a genuinely good growth tool, and under 100 active members their free plan is hard to beat. But Mana's price climbs with every member you add, and the free tier is funded by an investor round. Class Booking is a flat price that doesn't grow with you, from a profitable, self-funded company.
Warum Studios wechseln
Studios verlassen Mana selten wegen einer einzigen fehlenden Funktion. Die Gründe, die wir hören, summieren sich: eine Rechnung, die schneller wächst als das Studio selbst, ein System, das für deutlich größere Anbieter gebaut ist als ein unabhängiges Studio, und Support, der genau dann langsam wird, wenn Buchungen auf dem Spiel stehen. Class Booking ist bewusst für die Studios gebaut, die diese Kompromisse am härtesten treffen.
Mana's price follows your active member count: free under 100 members, then a paid tier that steps up each time you pass a member band. Class Booking is the same price whether you have 120 or 850 members, so growing doesn't cost you more in software.
A member keeps the same weekly spot in the same class, season after season, with a waitlist behind it. Mana runs drop-in, class passes and memberships, but not a fixed-spot subscription.
One paid subscription covers several named family members, each with their own profile. Mana does not offer family memberships.
Mana's free plan is funded by an angel round from May 2026. Venture-subsidised free products historically either add prices or shut down once investors want a return. It is not a prediction about Mana, but a question worth asking before you build your operation on a free plan. Class Booking is profitable and self-funded.
Riding schools, music schools, kids' classes and studios that enrol members for a whole season fit our season model and fixed spots. Mana is built around drop-in and rolling memberships.

Ehrliche Einschätzung
Wir passen nicht zu jedem. Hier erfährst du, wann du bei Mana bleiben solltest.
Sag uns einfach, wann du wechseln willst. Wir exportieren deine Mitglieder, Kurse, Stundenpläne und aktiven Abonnements aus Mana, importieren alles in Class Booking, gehen mit dir in einem Videocall alles durch, um sicherzustellen, dass alles passt, und stellen deine Domain am Wochenende um. Deine Kunden merken nichts davon.
It depends on your size. Under about 100 active members Mana is free, and there we are not the cheaper option, we say that plainly. From about 100 members and up, Mana moves to paid tiers that step up with each member band (up to 300, 600 and 900 members), while Class Booking is a flat price that does not scale with your member count. A growing studio typically pays less with us. Prices as of July 2026.
Under 100 members the zero price is real, and it includes a branded app. Two things are worth weighing: the price jumps to a paid tier the moment you pass 100 active members, and the free plan is funded by an angel round. It is worth asking what a venture-subsidised free product costs in a few years, once investors want a return. Class Booking is self-funded, so the price on the page is the one you can plan around.
Yes. Mana lists MobilePay, so that is not a difference between us. Our differences are elsewhere: a flat price regardless of member count, fixed spots, family memberships and a self-funded model.
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, exactly as they did when they joined Mana.
If you have under 100 active members and want a branded app without paying for it, Mana's free plan is hard to beat, and we say so honestly. Our argument bites once you grow past 100 members, or when fixed spots, family memberships and a self-funded provider matter to you.
