Best pilates studio software (2026): spots, waitlists and apps.

What pilates studios need from booking software

A reformer class has a fixed number of machines, so the software has to sell exactly that many places, let clients choose their machine, and refill a cancelled place from the waitlist before class. On top of that, studios choose between an app with their own name and a shared or marketplace app, and decide whether they sell on-demand video. This guide compares those points.

How we compared these tools

We read each vendor's own pricing, Pilates, feature and help pages on October 31, 2026 and checked six things:

• The published price, its currency and unit
• Whether the studio gets an app with its own name in the stores, on which plan, and at what price
• Whether clients pick their reformer or spot, and on which plan
• How the waitlist fills a cancelled spot
• Whether on-demand video is included, extra or not offered
• Whose App Store and Google Play account the app is published under, where the vendor says

Prices are as the vendors' pages show them, with a $ sign, except ABC Glofox, whose 2026 price page shows euros. We did not install or test the rival apps, used no third-party prices, and left out card and marketplace fees. Where a vendor's own pages disagree, we show both. MeetScarlet's facts come from our own pricing and product pages. MeetScarlet is listed first as our pick (we make it); the others follow alphabetically.

The pilates studio platforms compared

MeetScarlet: our pick for in-person studios that want their own app at a published price that includes it

MeetScarlet is a white-label booking app from the team writing this guide, and our pick for an in-person reformer or mat studio that wants its own app at a price it can see up front. Your members install an app with your studio's name, pick their reformer or mat on a map of the room, and join a waitlist that books them in when a spot opens. A late cancel or no-show can use up the class from their pack. The app is in the entry plan, and our team sets it up and publishes it to your own Apple and Google store accounts, so your studio is the publisher. See MeetScarlet for pilates and yoga studios and how class booking works.

Price: $349 a month, or $499 on MeetScarlet Pro (20 staff logins, text reminders for appointments, coming soon); $999 setup fee on monthly billing, waived on yearly.
