Lorari vs
Mindbodypricing, reviews and features (2026)
Mindbody is a very complete platform with unlimited users and a marketplace of 3M+ users, but it starts at €99/month per location and the final price is negotiated. Lorari fits better if you run a yoga or pilates studio and want public pricing from €16/month, no lock-in and WhatsApp notices.
