Which should you pick?

Who wrote this: the team that makes MeetScarlet. We compare from each vendor's own public pages, read on October 31, 2026, not from a hands-on test of the rival. Where a vendor does not publish something, we say so rather than guess.

Pick MeetScarlet if you want the full price, app included, before a demo: $349 a month for one location, with both plans and the setup fee on our homepage and setup free on yearly billing.

MeetScarlet also books appointments and courts as well as classes, so it fits salons, barbershops, tanning and padel as well as studios.

Mariana Tek may suit you if you run a boutique fitness brand with several locations and want a staff app, kiosk check-in and more than 45 integration partners.

Where the two are alike

Both give every customer a branded app in the App Store and Google Play, published under the business's own developer accounts. Mariana Tek's help centre says the studio must enrol as a business, not a personal account, and keep the accounts current, or the app “may become outdated, lose features, or even be deactivated”. MeetScarlet works the same way, because Apple asks that apps built from a template are published by the business itself.
