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. There's no subscription, no combined platform-and-client percentage stacking up on every sale, just 2.5% per booking, capped monthly, with every yoga feature included.
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 simple fee, 2.5% per booking capped, instead of a free plan that stacks a studio fee and a client fee on every 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
There's no monthly subscription. You pay just 2.5% per booking, capped monthly, so quiet months cost less and busy months never cost more than the cap. You only pay us when your students pay you. 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, at 2.5% per booking, capped monthly, with no subscription.
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. yoganear.me charges 2.5% per booking capped monthly, with no client-side fee and no subscription, so the maths is far simpler and usually cheaper.
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.

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.
