LinkandBook is a flat-per-location fitness platform. Class scheduling, contactless check-in (face / QR / NFC), recurring memberships, court booking, AI Vision occupancy, Open Party — but you're not pushed up tiers as your active members grow.
Mindbody uses tiered pricing that escalates as your active member count grows — a 250-member studio can pay €300+/month before add-ons, and it climbs at every threshold. LinkandBook is flat per location (typically €39–69/month). Same core feature set: class scheduling with waitlists, recurring memberships, retail POS, recall reminders. Plus contactless face/QR/NFC check-in, court & facility booking, AI Vision live occupancy, and Open Party for skill-matched pickup games — features Mindbody doesn't have or charges extra for.
Hit 250 active members and Mindbody bumps you to a higher tier. With LinkandBook, the price stays the same whether you have 50 members or 5,000.
Mindbody is feature-rich but requires onboarding sessions and weeks of configuration. LinkandBook gets a small studio live in an afternoon.
Mindbody's marketplace cross-sells members to other studios in your area. With LinkandBook, your members are yours.
Padel and tennis clubs need court booking; modern gyms want live "how full is it now?" data. LinkandBook ships both built-in.

Comparison reflects public information as of April 2026. Mindbody pricing varies by region and tier.
Mindbody allows CSV export of clients and active memberships from the dashboard. We import members, phone, email and active plan status.
Build your weekly schedule, services, court rates. Most studios are configured in a day; complex multi-location chains may take a week.
Run both systems for one billing cycle. New memberships go to LinkandBook; Mindbody auto-renewals can be cancelled at the end of the term.
No. Mindbody export gives you the full client list, active membership status and renewal dates. We import all of it. Past class attendance history stays on Mindbody (their export is limited there) — but new attendance starts immediately.
Easiest path: let Mindbody renewals run out, then sign members up fresh on LinkandBook with the same plan. Or contact members one-by-one to switch their card on file. We have a guided migration script for chains with 1,000+ members.
It's a known concern in the fitness industry. Mindbody's consumer app shows your members other studios in your area. With LinkandBook there's no consumer marketplace — your members only see your brand. Our marketplace is B2B only (partner hotels, gyms cross-promoting each other for commission, never poaching members).
Yes — court booking, Open Party for pickup games and tournaments are built in for tennis, padel, squash, basketball and more. Mindbody's court tools are limited to add-on third-party integrations.
No. Bookings happen on a regular web link or QR. Optional PWA app for power users (your members can "install to home screen" without an app store).
Yes — free to start, no credit card required.
