Bookodile vs Mindbody

Free at one location with up to two active booking spots and 40 bookings a month, every add-on included. Not a trial — a plan a small business stays on. More

No free plan. The entry point is Starter at €99 a month per location in the EU, £89 in the UK, or Go at A$89 in Australia, and the site offers a demo rather than a free trial. Source

No commission, no new-client fee, no per-booking charge. The bill is the subscription and nothing else. More

No fee on bookings through your own website, widget or consumer site. A new client's first purchase through the Mindbody app costs 20% of the price, capped at $30 or 30 in local currency, once per client and not refunded if the sale is; the same 20% applies to Reserve with Google and Affiliate Network purchases, promoted intro offers and dynamic pricing. Source

Every add-on is free and included — reminders, reviews, vouchers, the waiting list, multi-location, forecasting. Nothing is sold separately. More

Sold separately: the branded app (included only in Ultimate Plus), Messenger[ai], AI Concierge on Accelerate, livestream at $49, $99 or $199 a month by attendance, on-demand video at $99 a month, the Insights dashboard, the Utility Messages text add-on that is mandatory in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland, Card Updater at $1, £1 or €1 per updated card, technical account management by the hour, premium implementation, data conversion, each extra location, and a bulk data export after cancellation. Source

There are no plans and no tiers. Every account, including a free one, has every feature. More

Starter has no rooms and resources, no promo codes or packages, no text messaging of any kind, pre-set staff permissions that cannot be edited, and a shorter report list. Accelerate adds those plus two-way text confirmations and no-show fee management; Ultimate adds automations, feedback and reviews, lead management and AI Concierge; Ultimate Plus adds the branded app and the Insights dashboard. Source

Monthly, no minimum term, no cancellation fee. Paying yearly is optional and costs ten months. More

A 90-day initial term, then 30-day terms that renew unless either side gives at least 30 days' notice, with longer fixed terms offered by plan and no exit before the end. Fees are non-refundable, ending early leaves every fee for the whole subscription term payable, and a locked price may rise at the next renewal. Source

Bookodile does not take your customers' money. The payment-tracking add-on records what you were paid; payment stays between you and the customer. More

Mindbody Payments, built on Stripe, in the EU, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, with card readers in some countries and the option of a different processor. Published rates are 2.4% + €0.25 online and 1.75% in person in the EU, 1.99% + 6.50 CZK online in the Czech Republic and 2.19% + 20p online in the UK; United States and Australian rates are given by email only, and the rate depends on the plan. Source

bookodile.com/book/your-business, with your logo, colour, services and hours. One page per location. More

Every account has a Mindbody consumer site with sign-in, appointment and class screens, plus a listing in the Mindbody app. Since August 2026 a customised website with booking built in is included on every plan, with one domain bought for you. Source

One snippet embeds the whole flow in any site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or hand-built — inline or behind a Book-now button. A QR code is generated for print. More

Branded web tools — schedule, appointment, class list, pricing, registration and staff list widgets — pasted as a code snippet into Squarespace, Wix, WordPress or a Facebook page, on every plan including Starter. Checkout stays inside your site only in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the EU with a supported processor; elsewhere the customer is sent on to the consumer site. Source

A name plus an email or a phone number. No account, no app, no password. A web portal shows customers every booking they hold, if they want it. More

A customer account is required: the consumer site prompts anyone not signed in to sign in before booking, the widgets have customers register, and the Mindbody app asks for a Mindbody account to get started. The only guest flow documented is buying a gift card. Source

Combo services chain stages into one booking, and the extras you configure are offered during booking, in more than one round. Customers do not pick arbitrary pairs from the catalogue — you decide which combinations exist. More

Staff book several appointments for one customer in one go from the schedule sidebar. For customers, Consumer Mode Book Multiple books several same-day appointments at once on the consumer site — but the help centre says it is not available on all Mindbody sites, it is switched on by support, it disables appointment waitlists, and it is not in the widgets or the apps. Source

Each stage of a combo can have its own team member, its own duration and its own room, booked back to back. Each person is blocked only for their own stage, never for the whole visit. Staff move the whole visit in one step, at times that fit every person in it. More

No linked service with a different person per stage: add-ons are, in the help centre's words, not separate appointments, they do not extend the appointment's length, and online they need the same staff member for the main appointment and the add-on. Consumer Mode Book Multiple books independent same-day appointments, each with its own staff pick, so each person is blocked for their own appointment only — where support has enabled it, and with appointment waitlists off. Source

Rooms, chairs and equipment with a capacity and their own hours. A service can need a resource alone, a person alone, or both, and capacity is enforced when the booking is made. More

Rooms and Resources start at Accelerate; Starter has none. A room or piece of equipment can be required for an appointment or class and a room can be rented online on its own, but the help centre limits a room or resource to a single appointment and service provider, so a capacity above one means duplicate rooms, and assigned rooms are not available for add-ons. Source

Events with a capacity and a registration list for one-off things; a recurring class is a service on a resource with a capacity, so it fills up and stops. More

Classes, courses and workshops with a maximum capacity, with online capacity controlled separately from total capacity, on every plan. Pick-a-Spot seat maps from Accelerate, and semi-private appointments through an appointment capacity. Source

A service can be priced per team member, or per category such as Junior and Senior, and the customer sees which is which. More

Per Staff Pricing lets different team members charge different amounts for the same service, but the help centre says you need to call technical support to start using it, that it is designed for businesses that offer appointments only, and that it covers single sessions, not per customer. Source

A service can take a different time per team member. Leave someone blank and they use the service's own duration. More

Each team member has their own booking length per appointment type in Staff Appointment Setup, and the permission to edit appointment lengths per staff is on every package. Source

A buffer after every service blocks the person and any resource it used. Enforced on the booking page and in the booking API. More

No buffer field: the help centre's method is to lengthen the appointment type's booking time in Staff Appointment Setup, and the longer length is what the customer sees unless the email phrases are edited. Prep and finish time exists, but its article says it is not meant to add a buffer between appointments and can cause double booking if used that way. Source

A cancellation is offered automatically to whoever has waited longest for that service, with a three-hour countdown. Confirming books them straight in. More

For classes, the first person on the waitlist is added automatically when a place opens, if they hold a valid pricing option. For appointments it is a request list that only staff can confirm, joined on the consumer site only; First to Claim, which texts everyone waiting when a slot frees, needs the two-way text package from Accelerate in the countries where Mindbody offers texting. Source

Your team can create a repeating series from the calendar — weekly, every two weeks or monthly, up to 52 visits. Customers cannot book a recurring appointment themselves. More

Customers book recurring appointments themselves on the consumer site, with an end date, and staff can create them. A recurring appointment cannot carry an add-on. Source

Minimum notice, maximum advance days, slot interval, auto-confirm or approval, and a cancellation window — one set of rules per business. More

Schedule windows per service category: how many days ahead booking opens and how many minutes before the start it closes. Cancellation windows per category, request-and-approve mode by turning off client-booked appointments, time increments, a first-available-only option, and a choice between unpaid and prepaid booking. Source

Customers cancel from the confirmation email, outside your cancellation window. Rescheduling is cancel and book again; there is no one-step move. More

Rescheduling is a site-wide switch and cancellation is enabled per service category. Customers do both from My Schedule on the consumer site and in the apps, inside your cancellation window. Source

No card on file and no deposits, because Bookodile does not process payments. A no-show is recorded on the customer, not charged. More

Full prepayment can be required, but for every service category at once — the help centre says it is not possible to require payment for some appointments only — and there is no partial deposit at booking. A card can be captured at booking on the consumer site, no-show and late-cancel fee management starts at Accelerate, and appointments turn to no-show automatically ten minutes after the start time. Source

Extras are offered while booking, per service or per category, in up to several rounds, with an optional discount for adding them. More

Appointment add-ons are offered on a customise-your-service screen when booking online. They need the version 2 appointment widget with Consumer Identity or a recent app version, must be offered by the same team member as the main appointment, and do not add time to the booking. Source

No marketplace. Your booking page carries only your business, and no competitor is shown beside you — which also means it sends you no new customers.

The Mindbody app lists your business beside others nearby for its 3 million-plus active users. Listing is free and opt-in, and a new client's first purchase through the app costs 20% of the price, capped at $30 or 30 in local currency. Source

No consumer app. Customers book in the browser, and a web portal lists every booking they hold with any Bookodile business. More

The Mindbody consumer app on iOS and Android, where customers find businesses, book, pay and manage their schedule. A branded app in your own name is included in Ultimate Plus or sold as an add-on to Accelerate and Ultimate. Source

English, Slovak, Czech and Vietnamese, set per business. What your customers read and what you read in the dashboard are separate settings. More

The website widgets come in 22 languages, including Czech, German, English and French, but not Slovak or Vietnamese, and the consumer cart takes one language per site. The consumer site's translation service covers eight languages, none of them Czech, and the consumer app is in English and Spanish. Source

Every time is shown in the business's own zone, including on your dashboard. A customer in another zone sees both clocks before they confirm. More

A time zone per location, set on the Locations screen, and every schedule renders in it. The Business app can toggle between the home location's zone and the phone's, and the consumer cart uses a 12-hour clock. Source

Your logo, a second logo for dark backgrounds, a logo that links back to your own website, your brand colour with a contrast check, and a banner strip. No custom CSS and no custom domain. More

Logo and header and text colours on the consumer site, fonts and colours on the widgets, and the included website can sit on your own domain. The help centre does not document custom CSS or removing Mindbody's own branding from the consumer site or app. Source

The hosted page follows the customer's device. The embedded widget stays light on purpose, so it matches the website it sits in. More

Mindbody publishes nothing about dark mode on the consumer site, the widgets or the branded app. The only dark-mode article covers the staff Business app, which follows the phone's setting.

No Reserve with Google or Instagram integration. Your booking link goes in your Google profile, your bio or a post like any link.

Reserve with Google in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong only; it requires Mindbody Payments and the Affiliate Network, a marketing network fee applies to each purchase, and it does not support waitlists. Booking on a Facebook page is on every package, and no Instagram booking button is documented. Source

Day, week and month. Drag a booking to a new time or a different person, block out time, add a walk-in, filter by person or service. A visit with several services moves as one — dragged in the calendar, or from the booking dialog, which offers only the times that fit everyone in it. More

An appointment schedule with a column per team member, a booking sidebar, drag and drop to reschedule, colour by appointment type and unavailable-time blocks, with separate room and class schedule screens. Source

No native app. The dashboard is a web app that installs to a phone's home screen and works there. More

Mindbody Business on iOS and Android, free for every subscriber: schedule, check-in, point of sale with Tap to Pay, customers, waitlists and waivers. Mindbody notes that some advanced setup may still be easier on desktop. Source

Any number of locations in one account, each with its own team, hours, services and booking page, and a group dashboard that totals them. More

Multi-location sites share data across locations, with cross-location memberships, reciprocity tracking and corporate, regional and location roles. Each location adds to the bill, and Mindbody notes that not all features are available in all regions or on all tiers. Source

Owner, Manager, Employee and Receptionist ready-made, or build a role and set each permission by hand — including whether someone sees only their own bookings, customers and figures. More

Starter has pre-set permissions that cannot be edited. Permissions customised per staff group start at Accelerate — in the help centre's words, the Accelerate and Ultimate packages can be individually customised, while other packages contain only pre-set permissions. Source

Revenue, bookings, average value and cancellation rate; twelve months charted; top services; team ranked by revenue; per location or across all. Forecasting and revenue split are included add-ons. More

Starter includes sales, daily closeout, membership, payroll, attendance and first- and last-visit reports, with export to CSV, PDF and Excel. Retention, sales forecast, commission, staff performance, appointment metrics and no-show reports start at Accelerate, sales funnel analytics at Ultimate, and the Insights dashboard is an extra. Source

A monthly competition on bookings or revenue that the whole team sees, with a winner per category if you want one, results frozen and emailed on the 1st, and a Hall of fame. Revenue amounts stay hidden from the team unless you show them. An included add-on. More

The Insights app, a paid add-on, has a Leaderboard that ranks locations and team members on sales and supports goals and contests for staff — but Mindbody's article says only the owner or a general manager with the right user level can see those pages. Source

No point of sale, no stock, no payroll. A walk-in is a booking. More

Point of sale with discounts, tax and split payments, plus contracts, memberships and autopay, on every plan, with basic inventory on Starter and advanced from Accelerate. A payroll report, pay rates, commissions, tips and a time clock, with ADP and Paychex integrations from Accelerate. Source

Email confirmations, reminders the day before and two hours before, cancellations and follow-ups — all included, in your business's language. Text messages are built but not switched on. More

Email confirmations and reminders on every plan; text messaging is unavailable on Starter. Two-way text confirmations and reminders start at Accelerate, in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore, France and Spain only — Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Austria are not on the list — with the paid Utility Messages add-on mandatory in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland, and a monthly text bundle included on Ultimate. Source

No bulk email or text campaigns. An automated win-back sequence for customers who drift away, and promotions shown on the booking page, are included add-ons. More

Nothing on Starter. Campaigns start at Accelerate; automations, win-back, fill-last-minute-openings and fill-slow-days journeys, smart lists, A/B tests and AI-written content are Ultimate, where the pricing page also places email and text marketing, and since December 2025 Attentive email and text marketing is included on Ultimate and Ultimate Plus. Source

Collect a review after each visit, publish on your booking page when you choose, reply in public or privately, and ask happy customers for a Google review in the same email. More

Feedback and Reviews is an Ultimate feature: a rating request by email or text after a visit, NPS tracking, publishing to the booking page or an embeddable widget with auto-publish from 4.5 stars, and an ask to post on Google or Facebook that the customer completes themselves. Every plan has a report of the ratings customers leave in the Mindbody app. Source

Gift vouchers, discount codes, promotions and upsell discounts, all included. No packages or memberships, and vouchers are issued by you rather than sold online. More

Prepaid gift cards, contracts, memberships and autopay are on every plan. Promo codes, packages and assignable gift cards start at Accelerate, the rewards and referral programme is Ultimate, and purchases through promoted intro offers and dynamic pricing carry the 20% marketing fee. Source

Bookings are pushed into Google Calendar as they are made, moved or cancelled. One direction only — Google events do not block your availability — and no Outlook. More

Google Calendar on every plan, but one way only, from Mindbody to Google, and bookings made through the Business app, the branded app, the widgets or the Mindbody app are not reflected unless re-shared. The Business app can sync to the phone's own calendar, and no Outlook integration is documented. Source

A consent checkbox in your own wording, invoice details that can be optional or required, and a notes field. No custom intake forms and no e-signatures. More

Client forms and a liability waiver on every plan, with a required client signature; forms are created on desktop and signatures are collected in the Business app as well. Forms and waivers were merged into one tool in June 2026. Source

Export bookings and customers to CSV whenever you like — the list is yours. No import tool yet, and no public API. More

You own your data under the terms and reports export to CSV, PDF and Excel, but the client directory has no built-in export — copy and paste, 1,000 rows at a time, or the mailing-lists report — and a public API exists only through a separate developer account, billed per call. Mindbody imports your data at onboarding; after cancellation, data is available for no more than 30 days and a bulk export costs extra. Source

Email support, included, with the documentation at bookodile.com/docs behind it. No phone line. More

One-to-one support, onboarding and training at no additional cost and no setup fee, through an in-product AI assistant, cases by email, live chat in certain situations and a call-back request. Technical account management, premium implementation and custom data conversion are priced separately. Source
