yoganear.me vs Momoyoga: Which Fits Your Yoga Studio?

Quick disclosure: I'm David, founder of yoganear.me. I ran a yoga studio in Glasgow before building this, so I know both sides of this decision. I'll be as fair as I can. Momoyoga is a genuinely likeable product, and for some studios it's the right pick. Let's get into where each one fits.

What Momoyoga gets right

Momoyoga deserves its reputation. It's yoga-specific, it's simple, and studio owners consistently describe it as easy to live with. Your schedule, your students, your payments, without the enterprise clutter that makes bigger platforms exhausting.

The pricing is refreshingly public, too. There's a free plan for teachers just starting out (with a 5% platform fee on online payments and limited ticket types), a Standard plan at €29 a month billed annually (€39 billed monthly), a Plus plan at €59 billed annually (€79 monthly), and a Custom tier at €179 for bigger operations. A 14-day trial, no credit card required. Paid plans have unlimited classes and students, with no per-booking fees; payments run through Stripe at standard rates.

That transparency matters, and plenty of studios are happy there. So why write a comparison at all?

The tier problem: memberships live on Plus

Here's the detail that changes the math for most studios. On Momoyoga's own pricing page, recurring memberships are a Plus feature, along with branding, promo codes, customizable emails, Mailchimp integration, and multiple full-access staff accounts.

Memberships aren't a nice-to-have. For most studios, recurring revenue is the difference between guessing next month's income and knowing it. Retention lives there. Which means the practical Momoyoga price for a membership-driven studio isn't €29. It's €59 a month billed annually, or €79 billed monthly.

Still reasonable. But it's the familiar tier pattern in miniature: the features that grow your studio sit one plan up. Start on Standard, and the moment you want to sell a monthly membership, you're upgrading.

How yoganear.me prices it instead

We don't have tiers. Every studio gets every feature from day one: class scheduling and online booking, memberships, class passes, workshops, courses, private sessions and appointments, waitlists, digital waivers, revenue reports, and teacher payroll with four payment models (flat rate, flat rate with per-student bonus, percentage split, and monthly salary). Appointments cover one-on-one treatments like massage too, if your studio offers them.

Worth spelling out: recurring memberships, your own branding, promo codes, and multiple staff accounts (the core of what Momoyoga reserves for Plus) are all available immediately on yoganear.me, for every studio, at no tier.

Instead of a subscription, we charge 2.5% per booking, capped monthly: €99 in the Eurozone, £89 in the UK, $99 in the US, with equivalent caps in over 30 currencies. Payments go through Stripe Connect or PayPal straight to your account. We never hold your money, and we add nothing to the processing rates — for European studios that's Stripe's standard 1.5% + €0.25 on EEA cards, same as you'd pay on Momoyoga.

No contracts. Free trial without a credit card. And 2–3 personal onboarding calls included, because switching software while running a studio is nobody's idea of fun.

Your studio also gets a branded booking page on its own subdomain plus an embeddable widget for your existing website, and a profile on the yoganear.me marketplace and mobile app, where students searching for yoga in your city can find you. No commission on those bookings either; the same capped 2.5% applies everywhere.

The app deserves a word of its own. It's brand new, built in 2026 on a modern stack, and students complete the whole journey inside it: find a class, book it, and pay on the spot with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card. Momoyoga has a student app too, but by its own support docs it redirects students to the browser to pay, since the app doesn't support in-app purchases. It's a small thing until you watch a first-time student fumble through a browser checkout on their phone.

One more thing, since we're both yoga-specific: the two products feel very different to use. yoganear.me's design language is modern and calm, and the whole flow (from a studio's schedule to a student's booking) is built around how yoga studios actually work. I'm biased, so take the free trial and compare the two side by side. It's the kind of difference you notice in the first ten minutes.

Let's actually do the math

This is the part most comparisons skip, so let's not.

At 2.5%, our fee matches Momoyoga's €29 Standard plan when your studio processes about €1,160 a month in bookings. It matches the €59 Plus plan at about €2,360 a month.

So, honestly:

• Small or seasonal studio (under ~€1,200/month in bookings): yoganear.me is cheaper than even Momoyoga's Standard plan, often dramatically so. €800 in a quiet August costs you €20 with us, versus €59 on Plus, whether students showed up or not.

• Growing membership studio (€1,200–2,400/month): the totals are close. But remember what the comparison actually is: Standard has no memberships, so the realistic Momoyoga plan is Plus. Against Plus, we stay cheaper across this whole range.

• Consistently busy studio (well above €2,400/month, every month): Momoyoga Plus at €59 billed annually is cheaper than our €99 cap. That's the honest trade. If your revenue is high and stable year-round, and Plus covers everything you need, Momoyoga can cost you less.

The catch in that last scenario is the word "consistently." Yoga is seasonal. A studio that hits the cap in January and drops to €1,500 in August pays us €99 then €37; the subscription stays €59 (or €79 monthly) through both. Over a year, most studios' quiet months do more work in this math than their busy ones.

And if you're eyeing Momoyoga's free plan: it takes a 5% platform fee on every online payment, uncapped, on top of Stripe's processing fees. That's double our 2.5% rate with no ceiling, so yoganear.me works out cheaper than even the free plan at any booking volume.

Where each platform genuinely fits

Momoyoga fits well if you're a solo teacher or small studio with steady, predictable revenue; the free plan covers your needs while you start out; you want a simple, proven tool and the Plus tier's feature set is enough; or a flat, known monthly bill matters more to you than paying proportionally to revenue.

yoganear.me fits better if your revenue is seasonal or still growing and you'd rather pay in proportion to it; you want memberships, teacher payroll, workshops, courses, and appointments included without a tier upgrade; you work internationally and need 8 languages and 30+ currencies; or you want marketplace and app discovery alongside your own branded booking site.

Both are honest tools built for yoga. The decision mostly comes down to your revenue shape and which features you need on day one.

Switching between them

Either direction, the mechanics are similar: export your student data, recreate your schedule and price products, and give your regulars a heads-up before the switch. Natural breaks (new year, post-summer) beat mid-season migrations.

If you're coming to yoganear.me, the onboarding calls cover data import and setup, and there's no contract to sign, so evaluating us costs nothing but a bit of your time. There's a side-by-side feature table on our Momoyoga comparison page.
