European guide
Best studio booking software in Europe (2026)
The direct answer: for most independent yoga, fitness and dance studios in Europe, a European platform — Class Booking (our product; this is our page and we say so up front), Eversports Manager or Momoyoga — will do the job better and cost less than the big US incumbents. If you are a multi-location chain that needs a branded native app, Mindbody and Glofox remain the serious options. Below: ten platforms ranked, with prices, contracts, EU data residency and one honest limitation each, so you can check the claim rather than take our word for it.
Updated July 2026. We make Class Booking and ranked it first. Factor that in: every price here is either from a public price list or marked as sales-led, and every entry — including ours — says who it is not for.
The short answer
- Independent studio in Europe: Class Booking (ours) — public pricing from €10 / £8 / $13/month, no contracts, EU-hosted, admin in five languages.
- Yoga-only on the smallest budget: Momoyoga — a real free plan (5% platform fee on payments), paid plans from €29/month.
- Multi-location chain that needs a branded native app: Glofox or Mindbody — budget for sales-led pricing and longer contracts.
- Studio in DACH or Benelux that wants marketplace reach: Eversports Manager — the booking tool attached to the region’s biggest sports marketplace.
The European studio market, in numbers
Europe is not a side market. EuropeActive and Deloitte’s European Health & Fitness Market Report counts 75.5 million members across European health and fitness operators at the end of 2025 — up from 71.4 million a year earlier — with sector revenue of €39.1 billion. Behind the headline chains sits a long tail of independent studios, and that is who this page is written for.
European studios also buy software differently. GDPR is enforced, not theoretical. VAT is real and varies by country. Members expect Apple Pay, Google Pay and local payment methods rather than a stored US-style credit card. And a studio owner in Gothenburg or Bilbao would rather run admin in her own language. Most well-known booking platforms were built for the US market first — this list weighs how well each one has actually adapted to Europe.
How we chose
No affiliate links, no paid placements, no invented scores. We compared the platforms European studio owners actually shortlist, on the five things that decide the day-to-day experience:
- 1. Public pricing. Can you read the price without booking a sales call? Where a vendor only quotes after a demo, we write “sales-led” and give reported ranges rather than pretending to know.
- 2. Contract terms. Monthly billing versus annual contracts and notice periods. A booking system is easy to outgrow; short commitments keep vendors honest.
- 3. EU data residency. Where the member data actually sits — not what the compliance page says. EU-hosted platforms have shorter answers when members ask.
- 4. Payments. Stripe or an equivalent processor at standard rates, Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile, and no platform markup hiding on top of the processor’s fee.
- 5. Languages. Admin and member-facing languages beyond English. Europe is not an English-only market, and your front desk should not need a dictionary.
And the bias, stated plainly: Class Booking is our product. We ranked it first because for independent European studios we believe it is the best pick on these five criteria — and every entry below, including ours, lists an honest limitation so you can disagree with evidence.
The ten platforms, ranked
Ranked for the typical independent European studio. If your studio is not typical, the “best for” and “honest limitation” lines matter more than the order.
1. Class Booking (this is us)
Full disclosure: Class Booking is our product. We rank it first, and you should read this entry with that in mind.
Built by Nahbo ApS in Copenhagen: scheduling, memberships, class passes, payments, marketing and reporting in one product. EU-hosted from day one, Stripe at standard rates with nothing added on top, Apple Pay and Google Pay out of the box, and admin in English, German, Swedish, Norwegian and Spanish — Danish studios get our sister product Holdstyring. Done-for-you migration from Mindbody, Glofox and others is included.
Best for: independent European yoga, fitness and dance studios that want public pricing, no contracts, and GDPR as a starting point rather than a retrofit.
Pricing: public — €10 / £8 / $13 to €50 / £40 / $60 per month, 14-day free trial, no setup fee, cancel monthly.
Honest limitation: no white-label native iOS/Android app under your own name — we ship an installable, responsive web app instead. Chains with payroll and franchise reporting needs are better served by Mindbody.
2. Mindbody
The category incumbent, founded in California in 2001, and still the deepest feature set in the market: retail, payroll, complex membership rules, multi-location reporting, plus a consumer marketplace where members discover classes across studios.
Best for: larger studios and chains that want marketplace exposure and genuinely need the full feature depth.
Pricing: sales-led. No public price list; reported entry around $159 per month per location, annual contracts common, and marketplace bookings carry an additional commission.
Honest limitation: US-hosted and US-priced. For a single-location European studio the cost-to-value ratio is hard to defend, and GDPR compliance is retrofitted rather than native.
3. Eversports Manager
Vienna-built studio management attached to the Eversports marketplace, which is genuinely strong in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium. When FitogramPro was discontinued at the end of 2024, Eversports became its official successor — making it the default choice in the German-speaking market.
Best for: studios in DACH and Benelux that want marketplace visibility alongside their own booking page.
Pricing: public — from €49/month (Light, billed annually) up to €229/month, plus a €99 one-time onboarding fee. New customers arriving via the marketplace carry a 25% referral fee, capped at €75 per customer.
Honest limitation: plans are capped by monthly bookings, so busy studios climb tiers quickly — and the marketplace matters most in its home markets. A studio in Spain or the Nordics gets less from it.
4. TeamUp
UK-founded booking software for group fitness — gyms, boxes and studios — owned by US-based DaySmart since 2022. Every plan includes every feature; the price scales with active customers instead, and drops automatically if your numbers do.
Best for: UK and European group-fitness businesses that want all features from day one and pricing tied to actual usage.
Pricing: public — from $119/month for up to 100 active customers (also billed in GBP and EUR), month-to-month, no setup fees.
Honest limitation: the highest entry price among the no-contract tools here, and per-customer pricing grows with your member list. The product is English-first.
5. Momoyoga
A Dutch platform built specifically for yoga studios and independent teachers, and deliberately simple. The free plan is real: unlimited classes and students, funded by a 5% platform fee on payments instead of a subscription.
Best for: yoga teachers and small yoga studios that want the lowest cost of entry and little beyond schedule, passes and payments.
Pricing: public — free plan (5% platform fee), Standard from €29/month and Plus from €59/month billed annually; recurring memberships require Plus.
Honest limitation: yoga-only by design. Studios mixing yoga with fitness or dance, or wanting deeper marketing and reporting, will outgrow it.
6. Glofox
Dublin-built, now owned by US-based ABC Fitness. Its branded native member app — your studio’s own app on the App Store and Google Play — is the strongest offer in the mid-market, and UK/Ireland payments handling is mature.
Best for: gyms and multi-location studios where a branded native app is a hard requirement.
Pricing: sales-led. Advertised “from $99/month”, but quotes are custom, operator-reported spend usually lands well above that, and 12-24 month contracts are standard.
Honest limitation: long contracts and opaque pricing, and since the ABC Fitness acquisition the product increasingly follows a US gym-chain agenda rather than European independents.
7. bsport
Paris-built and boutique-focused — Pilates, yoga and barre studios are its home turf, and it is visibly popular with French and UK boutiques. Modern interface with unusually strong CRM and marketing tooling.
Best for: ambitious boutique studios that want marketing automation and are comfortable with a sales process.
Pricing: sales-led. No public price list; reported entry around €150/month, on annual contracts with a two-month notice period.
Honest limitation: annual commitment plus notice period, and the price is quoted rather than listed — you only learn your real cost by negotiating.
8. Punchpass
A small US company doing one thing well: straightforward class management for small studios, with friendly support and honest public pricing — a rarity in this market.
Best for: small studios and solo teachers who want the simplest possible tool and do not mind where the servers are.
Pricing: public — from $59/month (Grow) to $149/month (Pro), month-to-month, 14-day free trial.
Honest limitation: US-based, US-hosted and English-only — for European studios that need EU data residency, local payment methods or localized admin, it is a stretch.
9. WellnessLiving
A Toronto-based all-in-one platform positioned as the main North American alternative to Mindbody: booking, marketing, loyalty and a white-label member app on the higher tiers.
Best for: North-America-style studios and franchises that want a Mindbody-scale feature set at a lower published price.
Pricing: public tiers from $69/month (Starter, one staff member); the tiers most studios need run $199-349/month.
Honest limitation: built for North America first — European VAT handling, languages and EU data residency are not the product’s centre of gravity.
10. Gymdesk
US-built management software for gyms and martial arts academies with a reputation for clean design, public pricing and a no-pressure sales approach — its honest comparison pages are a pattern this page openly borrows.
Best for: gyms and martial arts schools that value simplicity and transparent pricing over a deep class-pass and membership feature set.
Pricing: public — $75 to $200 per month by member count, 30-day free trial, month-to-month.
Honest limitation: US-based and English-only, with US-first payments — EU data residency and European languages are not part of the offer.

FAQ
What does studio booking software cost in Europe?
Published list prices in this comparison run from €10 / £8 / $13/month (Class Booking) and €29/month (Momoyoga’s paid tier) up to €229/month (Eversports Manager’s top tier). Sales-led platforms — Mindbody, Glofox, bsport — typically land between €100 and €300+ per month once quoted. Payment processing comes on top everywhere; watch for platform fees added on top of the processor’s own rate.
Do US platforms comply with GDPR?
They can. GDPR applies to anyone processing EU residents’ data, and the large US vendors sign standard contractual clauses or rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. But compliance on paper is not the same as EU data residency: with a US platform, your member data typically sits in US data centres under US jurisdiction. If your members, your privacy policy or your own risk appetite call for data staying in the EU, pick a vendor that hosts in the EU and says so plainly.
Can I migrate from Mindbody to a European provider?
Yes — studios do it routinely. Client lists, schedules and pass balances export well enough; the genuinely hard part is active recurring payments, which depends on your payment processor. Expect a few hours of your own time and a transition window of days, not months. We do the migration for our customers, and several other vendors on this list offer the same.
Is there a free option?
Momoyoga has a real free plan, funded by a 5% platform fee on payments. Everything else here is paid, usually behind a 14- or 30-day trial. Free tiers suit solo teachers — but once you process meaningful volume, a 5% fee costs more than a €10-29 subscription.
Should I sign an annual contract for booking software?
Only if you get something real in return — a genuine discount or a capability you cannot get elsewhere. The pattern in this market is clear: sales-led platforms bundle annual contracts with quoted pricing, while publicly priced platforms bill monthly. Monthly billing keeps the vendor honest, because you can leave.
You make Class Booking — why should we trust this list?
Do not trust it blindly; check it. Every price is either from a public price list or marked as sales-led, and every entry — including ours — names who the tool is not for. If you are a chain that needs a branded native app, this page pointed you at Glofox and Mindbody. That is the honest answer, published on our own website.
