Mindbody branded app cost, and how MeetScarlet compares.

Which should you pick?

Pick MeetScarlet if the app with your own name is the point and you want the full price, app included, before a sales call: $349 a month with the app in every plan, while Mindbody's app is an add-on on plans priced on a call. Your app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, and your clients only ever see your business in it. MeetScarlet books appointments, classes and courts, so it fits salons, barbershops, tanning and padel as well as studios.

Mindbody may suit you if you want its consumer marketplace to bring in new clients, need an Enterprise plan for a large operation, or want a platform that says it has been helping businesses for over 20 years.

Why businesses pick MeetScarlet over Mindbody

• Your branded app in every plan for $349 a month; Mindbody's is an add-on on Accelerate and Ultimate, with no published price, and is not offered on Starter
• Both of our plans and the setup fee are published, and setup is free on yearly billing; Mindbody prices the plans that can add the app on a call
• Your app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts; Mindbody's branded app page doesn't say which account publishes it
• No marketplace: your clients only ever see your business in your app, while Mindbody also runs its own app where people discover businesses
• Our team imports your client list and builds your memberships, packs, services and schedule as part of setup; Mindbody prices data transfer and premium implementation separately

What Mindbody's branded app costs

Mindbody's pricing page says plans start at $79 USD a month per location (North America and Asia), and every plan card, Starter, Accelerate and Ultimate, says "Let's talk". The comparison table on the same page shows an X for the branded app on Starter and "Add-on" on Accelerate and Ultimate. Neither the pricing page nor the branded app page prints a price for the app, so the only way to know the full monthly cost is to ask Mindbody for a quote.

Prices you may see on other websites for the Mindbody app are third-party estimates, not Mindbody's numbers, so we do not repeat them here.

Where the two are alike

Both put your app in the App Store under your Apple developer account, which Apple asks for when an app is built from a template. Both do the design and submission work for you, and in both your clients book from the app.

Where they differ

Price you can see

MeetScarlet's two plans and the setup fee are on the homepage. Mindbody publishes its Starter price, but the plans that can add the app, and the app itself, are priced on a call.

Setup fee

MeetScarlet charges a $999 setup fee on monthly billing, waived on yearly billing. Mindbody's pricing FAQ says it has no onboarding fee on any plan, and prices data transfer and premium implementation separately.

What kind of business it is built for

MeetScarlet is built for businesses where clients book again and again, with features for barbershops (a walk-in line), tanning salons (bed levels), padel clubs (split payments and open matches) and pilates and yoga studios (spot maps and a class waitlist).

Marketplace or only your brand

Mindbody also runs its own app where people discover businesses. MeetScarlet has no marketplace: your clients only ever see your business in your app.

Where Mindbody may fit better

• A consumer marketplace that, per Mindbody, is open to its customers on all plans
• A track record: Mindbody says it has been helping businesses for over 20 years
• An Enterprise plan for large operators

Questions to ask on a Mindbody demo

Mindbody's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:

• What does the branded app add-on cost each month, and is there a one-time fee for building it?
• Which plan do I need for the app, and what does that plan cost for my number of locations?
• What would data transfer and premium implementation cost for my business?
• How long is the contract, and what notice do I give to cancel?
• If you leave, does the app listing stay in your own Apple and Google accounts, and can you export your client list?

Ask us the same questions about MeetScarlet; our prices are on the homepage.

Moving from Mindbody to MeetScarlet

We import your client list from a spreadsheet or CSV export. As part of setup, our team then builds your memberships, packs, services and schedule in MeetScarlet. Your clients then get your new app under your name. About 4 to 6 weeks for the store apps, most of it Apple's enrollment. Your web app's link is ready during setup, and members can book there as soon as you choose your MeetScarlet plan. They keep the same account when the store apps launch.

Before you switch, check the notice period in your Mindbody agreement and what happens to your existing branded app listing.
