Choose BYM if

You want less software, not more

You run a small or mid-size class studio, you want texting included rather than metered, and you’d like Venmo and Zelle payments matched for you instead of reconciled by hand.

Choose WellnessLiving if

You want a client app and marketplaces

You want a client app, rewards, and connections to Reserve with Google, ClassPass and Wellhub. BookYourMat has no client app in the app stores and no marketplace integrations like those. It’s also the cheaper list price at both ends: $69/mo against $149/mo for one instructor, and $199/mo against $249/mo with six or more.

Switching

By hand, with no separate fee

BookYourMat has no automated WellnessLiving import. Per /switch, you send an export, our team builds your studio by hand at no extra charge, and you get a 30-day self-serve corrections window.

Feature comparison

A factual comparison with WellnessLiving.

Most studio software assumes every payment runs through a card processor. BookYourMat is built around the off-platform payments small studios already receive.

Honest tradeoffs

Where WellnessLiving is stronger

  • A lower entry price for one person: Starter is $69/mo for one staff member.
  • Unlimited staff on Business at $199/mo, which is less than BookYourMat’s $249/mo with six or more instructors.
  • Annual billing saves 10%, which puts Business at $179/mo, the same as BookYourMat with two to five instructors.
  • Free setup, migration and training, including a kick-off call and two one-hour sessions.
  • A client app (Achieve) and a staff app (Elevate) on every plan, with a white-label app included on BusinessPro.
  • Reserve with Google, ClassPass and Wellhub integrations, which BookYourMat doesn’t have.
  • Rewards and loyalty from Business up, and unlimited system SMS on every plan.
  • Its FAQ says many merchant processors will hand over encrypted card data, so recurring clients may not need to re-enter a card on a move to WellnessLiving.

Where BookYourMat is more focused

  • Lower monthly price for a small team: $179/mo for two to five instructors, against $199/mo for Business billed monthly.
  • Two-way client texting included, where WellnessLiving lists it as pay per use.
  • Venmo and Zelle matching, and a credit ledger built for packs, guests and duets.
  • Becky answers client booking texts on every plan. WellnessLiving’s AI front desk is an add-on.

Practical questions before you switch
