Walla or MeetScarlet: an app with your studio's name.
For a studio that wants an app with its own name at a published price, MeetScarlet is the better pick: the app comes in every plan for $349 a month, while Walla charges $169 a month for its branded app on top of $299, or puts it in Pro, priced on a call. MeetScarlet's setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly. We make MeetScarlet; every Walla fact here comes from Walla's own pages.
Which should you pick?
Who wrote this: the team that makes MeetScarlet. We compare from each vendor's own public pages, read on November 1, 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 your clients booking in an app with your studio's name at a price you can see before any sales call: $349 a month with the app in every plan, against $468 a month for Walla's published plan plus its branded app ($299 plus $169). Our team sets the app up and submits it under your own Apple and Google accounts; setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly.
Walla may suit you if its free shared Walla app is enough for your clients, or if you need several locations, unlimited users or on-demand video classes.
Why studios pick MeetScarlet over Walla
- Your own app in every plan for $349 a month; Walla's branded app is $169 a month on top of its $299 plan, or part of Pro, priced on a call
- One published price for the whole thing, with setup free on yearly billing; Walla's onboarding tiers aren't priced on the pages we read
- Your app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts; the Walla pages we read don't say whose account holds its branded app
- Our team imports your client list and sets up your classes, spot maps, memberships and packs as part of setup

Questions to ask on a Walla demo
Walla's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:
- Is the branded app $169 or $149 a month now, and what does Pro cost?
- Is the app listed under my studio's own developer accounts, or Walla's?
- Who owns the app listing if I leave?
- What do onboarding and data migration cost, and how does the term length change the price?
- If you leave, can you export your client list, and what comes with it?
Ask us the same questions about MeetScarlet; our prices are on the homepage.
Moving to MeetScarlet
We import your client list from a spreadsheet or CSV export, then set up your classes, spot maps, memberships and packs as part of setup. 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.

How much is Walla's branded app? #
Walla's branded-app page lists it at $169 a month on top of your plan, and showed an offer of $149 until November 1, 2026; its pricing page also lists “Branded studio app included” on Pro, which is priced on a call (read November 1, 2026).
Is Walla cheaper than MeetScarlet? #
Not once you add an app with your studio's name. Walla's published plan with its branded app is $468 a month ($299 plus $169, or $448 at the $149 offer that ran until November 1, 2026), against $349 for MeetScarlet with the app included, plus our $999 setup on monthly billing, or $3,490 a year with no setup fee. Walla's base plan without the branded app is $299 a month; its onboarding cost and its Pro price, which includes the app, are not on the pages we read.
What is the free Walla app? #
Walla's free app is published by Walla and, per its branded-app page, shows clients only your studio, never a competitor. The paid branded app is published under your studio's own name and icon.
Is this comparison independent? #
No. We make MeetScarlet, and we recommend it to studios that want their own app at a published price. Every Walla fact comes from Walla's own pages, dated, and we say where Walla may fit better.
