Mindbody is a mature operating platform with a consumer marketplace and 100+ preferred integrations. Mako starts with free retention intelligence and can expand into studio operations. For many studios, the first decision is coexistence—not migration.

Use Mako Pulse beside Mindbody when you want to measure retention before changing systems. Prefer Mindbody when its marketplace, integration ecosystem, and mature operating depth are central to the business.
Pulse can sit beside an existing platform through an approved data path. Mindbody remains the operating system. Coexistence is a valid outcome.
Mako does not claim an equivalent. Mindbody says its app reaches 3M+ monthly shoppers. Measure bookings from that channel before switching.
Mako publishes its free and paid prices. Mindbody Starter begins at $79/month/location; final cost varies by plan, optional products, payment activity, and services.
Mako’s signals are descriptive and rules-based. Mindbody Ultimate lists retention insights. Neither public site is independent proof of churn reduction.
Checked 31 August 2026. Availability varies by plan, region, provider, permissions, consent, and data coverage.
Not necessarily. Start Pulse beside Mindbody, verify the supported data path, and decide later whether changing operating software creates enough value.
Its official page says plans start at $79/month/location. Final cost depends on plan, optional products, payment activity, and services.
Its current US pricing page advertises unlimited users. Older per-seat comparisons should not be used.
This page does not make that claim. Mako signals are transparent, rules-based descriptions of observed behaviour and available history.
Open free Pulse alongside Mindbody before moving operational records.
