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.

WhatsApp

Your students read WhatsApp, not email

With Lorari, booking confirmations, class reminders and notices go out on WhatsApp from your studio’s own number. If a student owes money, the reminder tells them. And when a spot opens up, the next person on the waitlist gets a message: they tap “Yes” and they are booked.

  • Reminders people actually read

    Booking confirmations and class reminders on WhatsApp, from your studio’s own number.

  • Payments without chasing

    If a student owes money, the reminder itself tells them.

  • Spots that fill themselves

    A spot opens, the next person on the waitlist gets a WhatsApp and books with one tap.

Messages from your own number: included in Business or €15/month on Starter and Pro. Waitlist: Pro plan and above.
