Momence is a capable platform, especially if you love building marketing funnels and re-engagement campaigns. But a lot of yoga teachers tell us the same thing: they spent weeks configuring automations they never really wanted, and the free plan's combined fees quietly added up to more than a subscription would have cost.
yoganear.me takes the opposite approach. It's built so you barely think about the software at all, and the pricing is one thing at a time: the free plan takes 5% per booking with no subscription and no client-side fee, and the paid plans take a flat monthly price with no commission at all. Nothing stacks.
If you want client marketing tools to obsess over, Momence will reward that. If you'd rather set things up once and get back to teaching, here's how the two compare.

Why yoga studios switch from Momence
One fee at a time: 5% per booking on the free plan, or a flat monthly plan at 0% — never a studio fee and a client fee stacked on the same sale.
Nothing to configure for weeks: passes, memberships, workshops and courses work out of the box.
Teacher payments across four models are built in, so you're not keeping a separate spreadsheet.
8 languages and 30+ currencies built in for international students and teachers.
Costs flex with your revenue, so a quiet month genuinely costs less.
Pricing that matches how yoga studios actually work
You pay one thing, not two. The free plan has no subscription and takes 5% per booking; the paid plans have a flat monthly price and take nothing per booking. Whichever fits your month, you're never paying a subscription and a commission at the same time. Card processing fees from PayPal or Stripe apply on top, as they do with any platform.
Frequently asked questions
Is yoganear.me a good Momence alternative for yoga studios?
If you want something simpler, yes. Momence shines for studios that enjoy building marketing automations. yoganear.me is for studios that want clean booking, passes, memberships and teacher payments without the setup overhead — free at 5% per booking, or a flat monthly plan with no commission, and every feature included on both.
How does yoganear.me pricing compare to Momence's free plan?
Momence's free plan looks free but stacks a studio fee and a client fee that can total around 9%. On a studio processing $3,000/month, that's roughly $270 in fees. Our free plan takes 5% and nothing on the client side, so the same month costs $150 — and on the Solo plan at $39 a month it costs $39, because paid plans take no commission at all.
Can I switch from Momence without losing my students?
Yes. Export your client list and schedule from Momence, set up yoganear.me, and share your new booking link. Most studios finish in under a week and run both side by side for a few days during the changeover.
Does yoganear.me have marketing automations like Momence?
Not the deep automation builder Momence offers; that's a deliberate trade-off. yoganear.me handles automatic booking confirmations, reminders and waitlist notifications, but it doesn't try to be a full marketing-funnel tool. If campaign building is central to your business, Momence may suit you better.
Make the switch in an afternoon
Set up your studio for free and start taking bookings. No credit card required, no contract, and no monthly fee unless you choose one.

The Yoga Studio Pricing Problem Nobody Talks About
It's March. The January rush has evaporated. Your evening vinyasa is back to six regulars and a lot of empty mat space. And then you see the same software bill you paid eight weeks ago when the studio was packed. Something about that maths doesn't sit right.
