Yoga class booking software: what to compare before you switch

What to test, not just tick off

• Website booking: Can a new student browse, choose, and pay without a confusing hand-off? Arketa, Momence, TeamUp, bsport, ABC Glofox, and Exercise.com document website or app booking options.
• Waitlists and capacity: Ask the vendor to demonstrate a full class, cancellation, automatic waitlist movement, and the notifications that follow. Momence, TeamUp, and Vagaro document waitlist or capacity controls on official pages.
• More than group classes: If you run privates, workshops, teacher training, courses, or retreats, test every one. Arketa lists classes, privates, and events; TeamUp documents appointments and courses; Momence covers classes, appointments, workshops, and events.
• Client self-service: Students should be able to see bookings, update payment details, and manage cancellations under your policy. Confirm the exact web, app, and notification experience in your plan.

Shortlist by booking pattern

• Embedded booking with studio-specific tools: evaluate Arketa, Momence, and bsport.
• Flexible memberships and booking rules: evaluate TeamUp and Momence.
• Booking plus POS and public entry pricing: evaluate Vagaro and WellnessLiving.
• Branded app and broader operations: evaluate ABC Glofox or Exercise.com, with plan and regional availability confirmed first.

Five-minute demo script

Ask every vendor to show this in one uninterrupted flow: a new student buys an intro offer on your website; books a full class; joins the waitlist; gets a place after a cancellation; checks in; then upgrades to a membership. If the workflow feels complicated during a demo, it will not feel simpler during a busy Saturday morning.
