Yes. For a studio that combines in-person/online class bookings + recurring memberships + a members-only content library, I’d focus on platforms that handle all three natively rather than stitching together a scheduler and a separate video site.

The main options

Momence is particularly aligned with what you described. It supports classes, appointments, workshops, memberships, payments and on-demand content in the same platform. Its online offering also supports livestreamed classes and on-demand video. Momence Momence Momence

Mindbody is another strong option if you want a more established platform. It supports booking, memberships, recurring billing and virtual classes, including a member-access-controlled on-demand video library. Mindbody Mindbody

mindbodyonline.com

Glofox is more fitness-management oriented: bookings, waitlists, memberships, recurring payments, member accounts and a branded app are core parts of the platform. Glofox

What I'd look for in your case

If your business model is something like:

$X/month membership → members can book live classes + access a private library of recordings

then I'd prioritize:

1. Recurring membership billing
2. Membership-specific booking rules
3. Automatic member access/revocation to content
4. Livestream + recorded classes
5. Class capacity/waitlists
6. Coupons/free trials/intro offers
7. Member app or good mobile experience
8. Email/SMS automation
9. Ability to sell standalone online classes or content
10. Clear transaction and software fees

Based specifically on your description, I'd put Momence and Mindbody at the top of the shortlist to investigate, with Momence particularly worth looking at if the online content/membership experience is central to your business. That's a feature comparison, not a ranking of the businesses overall. Mindbody Momence

If you tell me what kind of studio it is (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and your monthly software budget, I can narrow this down to 2–3 platforms and compare their actual pricing, fees, member-content capabilities, and migration/setup considerations.

Glofox is more fitness-management oriented: bookings, waitlists, memberships, recurring payments, member accounts and a branded app are core parts of the platform.

For a local studio that sells online classes + memberships, you’ll usually want a platform that combines four things:

1. Class bookings (live sessions, workshops, appointments)
2. Recurring memberships (monthly plans, trials, cancellations, upgrades)
3. Member portal/content library (videos, courses, replays, downloads)
4. Payments + customer management (Stripe, invoices, emails, attendance)

The best fit depends on whether you are primarily a physical studio adding online content or a digital studio with a physical component.

Platforms worth considering

More studio-specific options

If your priority is running the studio day-to-day (schedule, instructors, attendance, memberships):

• MotionHub — combines scheduling, memberships, payments, online/hybrid classes, website, and student app features. MotionHub
• Class Booking — focused on classes, memberships, payments, and branded booking pages. Class Booking
• StudioStak — covers bookings, memberships, payments, and a branded member portal. StudioStak

My shortlist by business model

If you teach yoga, Pilates, fitness, dance, or wellness:

• Arketa or Momence → best balance of bookings + memberships + online content.
• MotionHub → better if your physical studio operations are the center of the business.

If your online library is the main product:

• Kajabi → best for courses, funnels, email marketing, and digital products.
• Uscreen or Libree → best for a Netflix-style member video experience.

If you are a small studio and want simplicity:

• Look at Class Booking, StudioStak, or similar lightweight studio systems before committing to a larger platform. Class Booking StudioStak

A few questions would narrow this down quickly:

1. What kind of studio is it (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.)?
2. Are your online classes live, on-demand videos, or both?
3. Do you already have a website (WordPress/Squarespace/Wix/etc.)?
4. Roughly how many members do you have now?

Yes. For a local studio that combines in-person/online class bookings + recurring memberships + member-only digital content, I’d shortlist these:

⭐ My first choice: Momence

Momence is probably the closest match to what you're describing.

It combines class scheduling, bookings, memberships, payments, workshops/courses, livestreams and on-demand content rather than treating your online offering as a completely separate business. Members can book classes, manage memberships, join waitlists, and access on-demand material through the same ecosystem. Momence Momence

momence.com

Why I'd look at it first: if your business is something like "come to my studio, join a monthly membership, take live Zoom classes, and get access to a library of member-only videos," Momence is designed around that kind of hybrid experience.

If your video library is the core product: Arketa

Arketa is particularly interesting if you're building a substantial on-demand library, online courses, or digital membership alongside your physical studio. A 2026 comparison specifically identifies it as a strong all-in-one option for video-on-demand + scheduling + memberships + payments. Studio Software Advice

If you're already a bigger operation: Mindbody

Mindbody is more established and has a broad ecosystem. Its virtual-class system supports livestreaming and member-restricted video-on-demand content integrated with bookings and client accounts. Mindbody

mindbodyonline.com

If a polished branded app matters most: Glofox

ABC Glofox is particularly strong on the member app + booking + membership + billing side. Its branded app lets members book classes, purchase memberships/credits, and interact with the studio. Glofox Glofox

glofox.com

What I'd choose

For a small-to-medium independent studio, I'd start demos in this order:

1. Momence — best balance of physical studio + online classes + memberships + content.
2. Arketa — particularly compelling if your digital/video membership is becoming a major revenue stream.
3. Mindbody — worth considering if you want a very established platform and broader business ecosystem.
4. Glofox — strong if the branded member-app experience is a priority.

One important distinction: "member-only content" can mean either a simple library of videos or a true course/community experience. If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether you need Zoom/live-stream integration, I can narrow this down to the 2 best platforms and compare their current pricing and features.

I’d start with Momence for your setup. It combines class bookings, memberships, payments, and member-only on-demand video/LMS content in one platform. Momence Momence

• Momence: Best all-around for a physical/local studio with online classes.
• Uscreen: Better if your business is primarily a video membership library. uscreen.tv
• Kajabi: Better if you're primarily selling courses, coaching, and digital memberships, rather than studio bookings. kajabi.com

For your mix of local studio + bookings + recurring memberships + member-only content, Momence is probably the strongest fit.

Yes. For a studio that needs bookings + recurring memberships + online/member-only content, I’d shortlist these:

• momence.com — my first choice for a hybrid studio. It combines class/appointment bookings, memberships, payments, marketing, and on-demand content in one platform. It’s particularly attractive if your online offering is important because you can run live classes, workshops, and an on-demand library alongside your physical studio. Momence Momence
• arketa.co — best if content is a major part of the business. It’s particularly geared toward studios selling on-demand libraries, courses, memberships, and digital experiences. Studio Software Advice
• mindbodyonline.com — best for a larger/established studio. It has sophisticated booking and membership infrastructure, plus virtual classes and member-only VOD. Its big differentiator is also its consumer marketplace, which can help with discovery. Mindbody Studio Software Advice
• glofox.com — best for studio operations and branded member experience. Strong on bookings, memberships, recurring billing, apps, check-in, and multi-location management. Its content capabilities are less central than Momence/Arketa. Glofox Glofox
• offeringtree.com — worth considering for a smaller, content-led business. It combines website, booking, memberships, courses, on-demand content, and member-only access, making it appealing if you don't need a heavyweight gym-management system. Studio Software Advice

My pick for your use case

If you're a local studio transitioning into a hybrid physical + online membership model, I'd start by comparing Momence vs. Arketa.

The important distinction is that Glofox/Mindbody are primarily studio-management systems, whereas Momence and Arketa are particularly compelling when your digital membership/content is part of what you're actually selling. Studio Software Advice Glofox

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, wellness, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether your online content is live classes, a video library, or both, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare pricing/features.

For a local studio offering online classes + memberships + member-only content, I’d put Momence at the top of your shortlist.

Best fit: momence.com

It’s unusually well suited to your combination of needs because it can handle:

• Class bookings — live online classes, in-person classes, workshops, appointments, capacity limits, waitlists, etc. Momence Momence
• Memberships & subscriptions — unlimited memberships, limited-credit plans, trials, class packs, recurring billing, and different membership tiers. Momence Momence Help Center
• Member-only content — an on-demand video library and LMS courses that can be bundled with memberships or sold separately. Momence
• Online/livestream classes — particularly relevant if your studio is hybrid rather than purely physical. Momence
• Member app — clients can book, manage memberships, access on-demand content, and receive reminders through the app. Momence
• Payments and customer management — bookings, purchases, memberships, and customer activity are connected in one system. Momence

The big advantage is that you could structure something like:

Free/trial → monthly membership → members book live classes + access private video library → premium membership gets additional courses/content

without having to stitch together a booking system, Stripe, a membership plugin, and a separate video-course platform.

Other platforms I'd consider

Walla — worth looking at if your priority is a polished boutique-studio experience and branded member app.

WellnessLiving — stronger if you expect your operation to become more complex, with things like multiple locations, staff, marketing, POS, and extensive business-management features.

Mindbody — a mature option with a huge ecosystem, but I'd generally look at Momence first for a smaller studio that wants online content to be a core part of the membership rather than just appointment/class management.

Arketa — particularly worth considering if your business is heavily focused on online fitness/wellness content and memberships, rather than being primarily a physical studio.

For your specific combination, my initial ranking would be Momence → Arketa → Walla/WellnessLiving → Mindbody.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and your monthly software budget, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their actual pricing and features.

For a local studio offering online classes + memberships + member-only content, you’ll usually want a platform that combines:

• Class scheduling and bookings
• Recurring memberships/subscriptions
• Payments
• A private video/content library
• Member accounts and access control
• Email/app communication

The best fit depends on whether your business is more studio-first or content-first.

• Private member portals
• Video courses
• Membership tiers
• Email marketing funnels
• Digital products and communities Kajabi Kajabi

Choose it if: your main offer is something like “$49/month unlimited access to my workout library + weekly live sessions,” rather than daily studio scheduling.

Other platforms worth considering

• Arketa — good for studios wanting a polished digital experience with bookings, memberships, and video content.
• WellnessLiving — another studio-management option with booking and membership tools.
• Vimeo + a membership website builder — useful if you already have booking software and mainly need secure video hosting.

My shortlist for your use case

A few questions would narrow it down:

1. What type of studio is it (yoga, Pilates, fitness, dance, wellness, other)?
2. Do you need live Zoom-style classes, on-demand videos, or both?
3. Roughly how many members do you have now (or expect in year one)?
4. Do you want the platform to replace your website, or just add booking/membership features?

Yes. For a local studio that combines bookings + memberships + live online classes + a members-only content library, I’d shortlist these:

1. momence.com — my top pick

Momence is particularly well matched if your business is class-based. It combines:

• Online class and appointment booking
• Recurring memberships and class packs
• Payments
• Live/online classes
• On-demand videos and courses
• Member-restricted content
• Marketing and member communications
• A client app

Its on-demand system can organize content into video collections or structured courses, including videos, PDFs and quizzes, and you can sell access through recurring on-demand subscriptions. Momence Momence Help Center Momence Help Center

Best for: yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, wellness, coaching, and other boutique studios wanting one relatively unified system.

2. arketa.com

Arketa is worth a serious look if digital content is a major part of your membership. It combines studio scheduling with digital experiences and is particularly geared toward businesses selling memberships and video/on-demand content. Its booking system handles classes, appointments, events and automated waitlists. Arketa

A 2026 comparison specifically rated Arketa strongest for studios wanting a substantial video-on-demand library alongside scheduling, memberships, payments and digital experiences. Studio Software Advice

Best for: a studio that's becoming as much an online content business as a physical studio.

3. wellnessliving.com

WellnessLiving is the more traditional all-in-one studio-management choice. It has booking, memberships, payments, marketing, client management, website widgets and apps. It also offers virtual classes and on-demand video through its FitLIVE/FitVID products, with member-only access controls. WellnessLiving WellnessLiving

Its published pricing currently starts at $69/month for Starter, with higher tiers for additional functionality. WellnessLiving

Best for: a physical studio with substantial front-desk/operations needs, especially if you expect to grow.

My recommendation

If I were choosing for your use case, I'd rank them:

I'd start with Momence and Arketa demos. Momence looks especially compelling if you want one system where someone can buy a membership, book your local classes, attend online sessions, and access a members-only library without stitching several services together. Momence Momence Help Center

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (e.g. Pilates, yoga, dance, art, music, fitness), roughly how many members you have, and whether the online content is live, prerecorded, or both, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their current pricing/features.

For a local studio that offers online classes + memberships + member-only content, I’d shortlist these three:

• momence.com — my top pick for most studios. It combines class/appointment booking, memberships, payments, online/on-demand content, courses, and member management. You can also restrict classes based on membership type, which is useful for member-only sessions. Momence Momence Help Center
• offeringtree.com — best if your online content is a major part of the business. It combines scheduling, memberships, website, payments, and on-demand video, including member-only landing pages and exclusive content. OfferingTree SBC OfferingTree SBC
• mindbodyonline.com — best if you want a more established, enterprise-style studio platform. It supports bookings and memberships alongside livestreaming and a members-only on-demand video library. Mindbody

My recommendation

I'd start with Momence if your studio is primarily a class/membership business and you want one system to run the operation. It supports online and in-person classes, memberships, payments, courses, and an on-demand video library. Momence

I'd choose OfferingTree instead if the digital membership/content library is equally important as your live classes. Its member-only pages and exclusive on-demand content are particularly relevant to that model. OfferingTree SBC

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.) and roughly how many members you have, I can compare Momence vs OfferingTree vs Mindbody on pricing, fees, booking, memberships, video/content, website, and Zoom integration and recommend one.

For a local studio that offers in-person/online classes + memberships + member-only content, I’d shortlist these:

My first choice: Momence

For your particular combination, Momence would be the first platform I'd demo. It combines bookings, payments, memberships, classes/workshops, marketing and on-demand content in one system. Its current offering is explicitly designed for studios running a mixture of classes, events and digital/on-demand experiences. Momence Momence

That means you could potentially have:

• Weekly in-person classes
• Live online classes
• Monthly memberships
• Class packs
• A members-only video library
• Different content access depending on membership
• Booking and payment from the same member account
• Automated member communications

That's much cleaner than, say, using one system for bookings/memberships and another for your video library.

If your online content is a major part of the business

I'd also look seriously at Arketa. A recent 2026 comparison specifically ranked Arketa highly for studios wanting a substantial on-demand library alongside scheduling, memberships, payments and digital experiences. Studio Software Advice

OfferingTree is another interesting option if you're a smaller operation and want your website + bookings + memberships + courses/on-demand content closely integrated. Studio Software Advice OfferingTree SBC

When I'd choose Mindbody

I'd choose Mindbody if getting discovered through its consumer marketplace is important to you, or you're building a larger, more established operation. It also supports integrated livestreaming and member-only video-on-demand content. Mindbody

The tradeoff is that it can be more heavyweight and potentially more expensive once you add the features you need.

Bottom line: If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether your online classes are live, recorded, or both, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their current pricing and fees.

For your setup—a local studio + online classes + memberships + member-only content—I’d put momence.com at the top of the list.

My shortlist

• 🥇 Momence — best all-in-one fit. It combines class/appointment booking, memberships, payments, online classes, and an on-demand video library/LMS. You can bundle video access into memberships, so a member could get both live classes and a private content library under one membership. Momence Momence
• Mindbody — best if you want a large, established studio-management ecosystem. It's particularly strong for in-person scheduling, memberships, payments, staff, and marketplace/discovery, but I'd compare its member-content capabilities carefully against Momence for your specific online offering.
• WellnessLiving — worth considering if studio operations are the priority. It's another established option for bookings, memberships, payments, and client management, though I'd again look closely at how its content/video experience fits your needs.

Why I'd lean Momence

Your requirements line up unusually well with what it's built for:

Momence specifically lets you restrict classes to members and create different booking windows for membership tiers. Momence Help Center It also supports online classes with secure Zoom links and an on-demand library that can be bundled with memberships. Momence Momence Help Center

The big advantage: you potentially don't need to stitch together something like Mindbody + Kajabi + Zoom + Stripe. Momence is designed to keep the studio schedule, memberships, payments, and content in one system. Momence

Yes. For a local studio that combines online classes + memberships + bookings + a members-only content library, I’d look at these first:

My first choice: Momence

For what you described, Momence is particularly compelling because it isn't just a booking system with a video add-on. It combines scheduling, memberships, payments, and on-demand content. Its on-demand system supports video libraries, courses, PDFs, quizzes, and subscriptions, and content can be bundled into memberships. Momence Momence Help Center

You could structure your business something like:

• Drop-in: $25 → access to individual live classes
• Studio Membership: $99/month → X live classes + member-only video library
• Online Membership: $39/month → on-demand library
• Premium: $149/month → unlimited live classes + full on-demand library
• Courses: separate paid programs or workshops

Members can book classes through the platform while their membership controls what they're eligible to book. Momence Momence

The other big advantage is that Momence supports on-demand subscriptions, so you can give someone recurring access to a defined collection of videos rather than manually managing access. Momence Help Center

When I'd choose something else

Arketa is worth serious consideration if your business is going to be heavily digital/video-first rather than primarily a physical studio with online classes.

Mindbody makes sense if you're building a larger, established studio operation and value its broader ecosystem. Its virtual-class offering supports livestreaming and VOD with exclusive member access. Mindbody

WellnessLiving is worth considering if you need a more comprehensive traditional studio-management system, particularly as you grow.

Bottom line: For a small-to-medium local studio wanting one system for bookings + recurring memberships + online classes + a members-only video library, I'd start by demoing Momence and Arketa, with Momence probably the first one I'd test.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether your online classes are live, recorded, or both, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their pricing/features.

For your setup—a local studio + online classes + recurring memberships + member-only content—I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Momence

For a local studio, Momence is probably the strongest fit. It combines class/appointment booking, memberships, payments, courses, and on-demand content rather than making you stitch several systems together. It can also restrict classes to particular membership types and offers an app for members. Momence Momence Momence

A setup could look like:

• Basic Membership → 4 live online classes/month
• Unlimited Membership → unlimited live classes
• Premium Membership → live classes + your on-demand video library
• Drop-in → individual online/in-person classes
• Members log in → see their eligible classes and protected content
• You manage bookings, payments, memberships, and member records from one system

Momence specifically supports on-demand video libraries, courses, live experiences, memberships, and class scheduling. Momence Help Center Momence

When I'd choose Uscreen instead

If your business is becoming primarily an online content/membership business, I'd look harder at Uscreen. It's built around paid video memberships, live streaming, courses, community, and branded apps. Uscreen Uscreen

So the distinction is:

Mostly a physical/local studio that also offers online → Momence.

Mostly an online video membership business that happens to have live classes → Uscreen.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.) and roughly how many members you have, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their pricing, fees, booking experience, and member-content capabilities.

For a local studio that combines bookable classes + recurring memberships + online/member-only content, I’d put Momence at the top of the list.

Best fits

🥇 My pick: Momence

Momence is specifically built around studios. It combines class scheduling and bookings, memberships/packs, payments, customer management, and on-demand content. Momence Momence

The particularly relevant part for you is that you can create on-demand subscriptions containing video collections and courses. That means, for example:

• $99/month membership - 4 live online classes/month
• unlimited access to your video library
• member-only courses
• early booking for certain classes
• $29/month online-only membership - on-demand library
• member-only courses
• Drop-in class - pay per class without membership

You can also restrict particular classes to members or particular membership levels. Momence Help Center Momence Help Center

So if you're operating an actual studio rather than primarily selling online courses, Momence is probably the cleanest all-in-one fit.

When I'd choose Kajabi instead

If your business is becoming more like "online education + membership community" than a traditional studio, I'd seriously consider Kajabi. It has strong course creation, recurring memberships, gated content, community, email marketing, and tiered access. Kajabi Kajabi

The tradeoff is that Momence is much more naturally oriented around class schedules and studio bookings, whereas Kajabi is oriented around courses, content, marketing, and community.

Simple decision

Choose Momence if:
Your customers primarily come to you to book classes, and online content is an important extension of the studio.

Choose Kajabi if:
Your customers primarily come to you to consume courses/content, and live classes are secondary.

Choose Mindbody if:
You want a more established, traditional fitness/wellness business-management platform, particularly if you're building a larger operation. Mindbody also supports virtual classes and member-only video-on-demand content. mindbodyonline.com

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.) and roughly how many members you have, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, booking experience, memberships, video hosting, and website/app integration.

For a local studio selling online classes + memberships + member-only content, you’ll usually want a platform that combines:

• Class scheduling and bookings
• Recurring memberships and payments
• Member accounts/logins
• Video libraries or courses
• Email/SMS marketing
• Community features
• Integrations with Zoom, Stripe, your website, etc.

Here are the strongest options:

My shortlist by business model

If you are a physical studio moving into online memberships:

1. Momence — probably the closest “all-in-one studio operating system.” It supports memberships, bookings, and on-demand content/course delivery. Momence
2. Mindbody — better if you expect many instructors, locations, or a larger operation. Mindbody

If your online membership is becoming the main product:

1. Kajabi + a booking tool (if needed)
2. Arketa for a more fitness/wellness-native digital experience Studio Software Advice

If you want the simplest setup for a small studio:

• Look for a platform where a customer can: 1. Buy a membership
• Book live classes
• Automatically access your video library
• Receive reminders and updates

Momence is one of the few studio platforms that combines those pieces directly. Momence

A few questions would help narrow it down:

1. What type of studio is it (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.)?
2. Do you need live Zoom-style classes, on-demand videos, or both?
3. Roughly how many members do you have now (or expect in year one)?
4. Do you already have a website (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, etc.)?

For a local studio that offers both bookings and online/member content, I’d put Momence at the top of your shortlist.

Best fit: Momence

momence.com is particularly well suited to studios because it combines:

• Class and appointment bookings — including online and in-person classes. Momence Momence
• Recurring memberships and class packs — including unlimited and usage-limited memberships. Momence
• Online/on-demand classes — you can build video libraries and structured courses. Momence Help Center Momence Help Center
• Member-only content — an on-demand subscription can give members access to selected collections or courses. Momence Help Center
• Live classes — including scheduling and online-class workflows.
• Mobile app — useful if you want members to book classes and access their content from one place. Momence

So you could have something like:

$99/month membership → 4 studio classes + unlimited online library + member-only weekly livestreams

without having to stitch together a booking system, Stripe membership, and separate course platform.

Two alternatives worth considering

Kajabi is stronger if your business is primarily online education/content, rather than a physical studio. It has excellent memberships, gated courses, communities, recurring payments and automated member journeys. Kajabi Kajabi Its weakness for your use case is that it's not as studio/booking-centric as Momence.

kajabi.com

Mindbody is worth considering if you want a more established fitness/wellness studio management ecosystem and marketplace exposure. It supports bookings, memberships and virtual/on-demand content, including member-only video libraries. Mindbody

mindbodyonline.com

My ranking for your situation

I'd start with Momence unless your physical studio is secondary and you're really building an online education/membership business—in that case, I'd look harder at Kajabi.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.) and roughly how many members you have, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their current pricing and fees.

For a local studio that offers online classes + memberships + member-only content, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Momence

For your particular model, Momence looks like the strongest starting point. It was built around studios and combines class/appointment booking, memberships and packs, payments, customer management, and staff management. Importantly, it now also offers an on-demand video library and LMS courses that can be bundled with memberships. Momence Studio Software Advice

That means you could have, for example:

• Monthly Membership → unlimited live online classes + member-only video library
• 10-Class Pack → access to selected bookings
• Premium Membership → live classes + entire on-demand library
• Standalone Course → separate purchase
• Members book classes through the same system rather than jumping between several services.

When I'd choose something else

Uscreen would be my choice if the content library is the heart of the business—for example, you have hundreds of recorded classes and want the experience to feel like a Netflix-style streaming service. It is particularly strong for video memberships, live streaming, community, and branded apps, but isn't as naturally suited to studio-style class scheduling. Uscreen Uscreen

Mindbody makes more sense if you're primarily a traditional physical studio with substantial in-person scheduling, staff, and studio-management needs. It does support online booking and member-exclusive on-demand video, but I'd lean toward Momence for a hybrid studio where online content is important. Mindbody

Kajabi is excellent if you're really building an online education/membership business rather than a studio-management business. It has strong courses, memberships, subscriptions, content gating, and marketing automation, but you'd likely need another solution for sophisticated class scheduling. Kajabi

Bottom line

If I were setting this up today:

Studio-first + bookings + memberships + online library → Momence

Video/content-first membership → Uscreen

Course/education + marketing-first → Kajabi

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether classes are live Zoom-style, prerecorded, or both, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their current pricing and fees.

Yes. For your setup—local studio + online classes + memberships + member-only content—I’d shortlist these:

1. momence.com — best all-around fit

This is probably where I’d start. Momence combines:

• Online and in-person class scheduling and booking
• Memberships and class packs
• Recurring subscriptions
• Member-only/on-demand video libraries
• Courses with videos, PDFs, quizzes, and drip content
• The ability to bundle on-demand content into a membership
• Website booking widgets and a mobile app

So, for example, you could sell a $99/month membership that gives someone unlimited live Zoom classes plus access to your entire recorded library. Momence explicitly supports linking regular subscriptions to on-demand content. Momence Momence Help Center

2. arketa.com — best if online content is a major part of the business

Arketa is particularly attractive for wellness/fitness studios that want a substantial on-demand library alongside bookings and memberships. Its plans include scheduling, memberships, unlimited on-demand content, programs/workshops, and booking widgets. Arketa

The Individual plan is currently listed at $49/month when billed annually, while the studio plans are custom-priced. Arketa

3. wellnessliving.com — best for a more traditional studio-management system

WellnessLiving is stronger if you have a more established physical studio with staff, multiple services, POS, marketing, loyalty, etc. It has class/appointment booking, client management, payments, apps, and higher-tier studio functionality. WellnessLiving

For your particular requirement, though, I'd put Momence and Arketa ahead of it because your member-only digital content is central to the question.

My pick

I'd choose Momence if your goal is one system that handles the whole customer journey:

Website → membership purchase → class booking → Zoom class → member login → recorded content → recurring billing

It also lets you have different access levels—for example, a Live Classes membership, On-Demand membership, and All Access membership—without having to bolt a separate membership/content platform onto your booking software. Momence Help Center Momence Help Center

If you tell me what type of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and what you're paying for your current software, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their actual costs/features for your situation.

Yes. For a local studio that combines in-person/online classes, recurring memberships, bookings, and a members-only content library, I’d shortlist these:

• momence.com — best overall fit. It combines class scheduling, memberships, packs, payments, CRM/marketing, and—importantly—an on-demand video library and LMS courses that can be bundled with memberships. Momence Momence
• arketa.co — best if online content is a major part of your business. It is particularly strong for digital-first studios, with on-demand video, courses, memberships, scheduling, and branded digital experiences. Studio Software Advice OfferingTree SBC
• offeringtree.com — best for a smaller/solo studio. It leans more toward website + classes + memberships + courses/member-only content rather than heavy studio operations. Studio Software Advice
• mindbodyonline.com — best if client acquisition is important. It has very mature booking/membership infrastructure and its consumer marketplace exposes businesses to a large existing audience, but it can be more complex than you need. Mindbody Capterra

What I'd pick for your setup

Momence would probably be my first demo. The key advantage is that you don't have to bolt a separate membership/content system onto your booking software: you can have something like:

$149/month membership → unlimited studio classes + weekly livestream + members-only video library

Momence specifically supports bundling on-demand content with memberships and also has course/LMS functionality. Momence

If your business is primarily an online content/membership business with the physical studio as an additional offering, I'd put Arketa ahead of Momence.

If you tell me roughly (1) number of members, (2) whether classes are Zoom/live or prerecorded, (3) your monthly budget, and (4) whether you need a branded app, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 and compare their actual 2026 pricing and transaction fees.

For a local studio offering online classes + memberships, you’ll usually want a platform that combines:

• Class scheduling and bookings
• Recurring memberships and payments
• Member accounts/login
• A gated video library or member-only content area
• Live class links (Zoom/Meet/etc.)
• Email/member communication
• Attendance and retention tracking

Here are some strong options depending on your business model:

My shortlist by scenario

• Mostly online classes + a growing video library:

→ Arketa or Libree

• In-person studio + online membership add-on:

→ Momence, Mindbody, or StudioStak

• Small studio / solo teacher wanting simplicity:

→ OfferingTree or Libree

A few questions would narrow this down:

1. What type of studio is it (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.)?
2. Do you need live classes only, on-demand videos, or both?
3. Do you already have a website (WordPress/Squarespace/Wix/etc.)?
4. Roughly how many members do you expect (under 100, 100–1,000, 1,000+)?

Yes. For a local studio that combines live/online class bookings + recurring memberships + a member-only video/content library, I’d shortlist these:

My first choice: Momence

momence.com

Momence is particularly well matched to what you described because it puts class scheduling, bookings, memberships, and on-demand content in the same system. Its memberships can be tied to access to your on-demand library, so you can create something like:

Monthly Membership → unlimited live classes + member-only video library

It also supports on-demand video collections and structured courses, including PDFs, quizzes, and scheduled/dripped content. Momence Momence Help Center Momence Help Center

You can also restrict particular classes to members or give certain membership levels early booking access. Momence Help Center

When I'd choose the others

Mindbody is worth considering if your priority is running a more traditional, established fitness/wellness business with sophisticated scheduling, payments, marketing, staff management, and access to Mindbody's marketplace. It also supports exclusive on-demand content for members. Mindbody Mindbody

Arketa is interesting if your business is heavily online/content-driven. A recent 2026 comparison specifically rated it highly for studios wanting scheduling, memberships, payments, marketing, video-on-demand, and branded digital experiences together. Studio Software Advice

OfferingTree is worth looking at if you're a smaller operation and want something more centered around your website, online classes, memberships, and content, rather than a heavyweight studio-management system. Studio Software Advice

What I'd pick for your situation

If you tell me:

• what kind of studio/classes you offer
• roughly how many members you have
• whether classes are live Zoom-style, in-person, or both
• whether your content is mainly video recordings, courses, PDFs, etc.
• your approximate monthly software budget

…I can narrow this down to the 2–3 best platforms and compare their actual pricing, fees, booking experience, member portal/app, and content restrictions.

What I'd pick for your situation

If you tell me:

Yes. For a local studio that needs bookings + recurring memberships + online classes + member-only content, I’d shortlist Arketa and Momence first.

My top picks

🥇 Arketa

Arketa is probably the best fit if online content is a major part of your membership.

It combines class scheduling, appointments, memberships, payments, and an on-demand video library. Its content system lets you organize videos into collections/programs and make individual videos available only to customers with an active membership or package. Arketa Help Center Arketa Help Center

Its current Individual plan is listed at $49/month when billed annually, including scheduling, memberships, and an unlimited on-demand library; studio plans are custom-priced. Arketa

arketa.com

🥈 Momence

Momence is an especially strong alternative if you want to sell live classes, memberships, courses, workshops and on-demand content from one system.

It supports scheduling, memberships/packs, online and in-person classes, courses, and an on-demand video library. Momence Momence Help Center You can also restrict particular classes to members and configure memberships to include specific benefits such as on-demand video access. Momence Help Center Momence Help Center

momence.com

Which I'd choose

Choose Arketa if: your business is increasingly online/content-driven and you want a polished member video library alongside your studio schedule.

Choose Momence if: your core business is live studio classes + memberships, with online courses/on-demand content as an important additional revenue stream.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether your online classes are live Zoom-style or prerecorded, I can narrow this down to the best 1–2 options and compare pricing, transaction fees, member apps, website integration, and migration difficulty.

For a local studio that offers online classes + memberships, I’d look for a platform that combines four things:

1. Class scheduling and bookings (live classes, workshops, capacity, waitlists)
2. Membership billing (recurring payments, passes, upgrades/cancellations)
3. Member portal/content library (videos, courses, replays, resources behind a login)
4. Marketing/community tools (emails, reminders, engagement)

Some strong options:

A few common setups:

If you are mostly an online studio

Choose something like:

• Arketa
• Momence
• OfferingTree

These are better if your members need:

• video libraries
• recorded classes
• courses/challenges
• member-only resources

If you are mostly a physical studio with online add-ons

Choose:

• Mindbody
• WellnessLiving
• Momence
• Class Booking

These are stronger for:

• class calendars
• instructor schedules
• attendance
• waitlists
• in-person memberships

If you are a small studio and want simplicity

A lighter system may be enough:

• Class Booking
• OfferingTree
• similar boutique studio platforms

My shortlist for a local studio doing both live classes and online memberships would be:

1. Momence — best balance of studio operations + digital content
2. Arketa — best if online video/membership growth is a major focus
3. WellnessLiving or Mindbody — best if your in-person operation is the priority
4. OfferingTree — best if you mainly need a polished membership/content website

A few questions would narrow it down:

• What type of studio is it (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, education, etc.)?
• Do you need live Zoom-style classes, on-demand video, or both?
• Roughly how many members do you have now (or expect in year one)?
• Do you already have a website, or do you want the platform to replace it?

Yes. For a studio that needs bookings + recurring memberships + member-only online content, I’d shortlist these:

My first choice: Momence

Momence is probably the closest match to what you're describing. It combines class/appointment booking, memberships and packs, recurring billing, member restrictions, and online experiences in one system. Its current platform also supports live/on-demand sessions and online courses/recorded trainings. momence.com

That's particularly attractive if your model is something like:

Membership → member logs in → books live classes → gets access to a private video library → can buy additional courses/classes.

If online content is a major part of the business: Arketa

Arketa is worth a serious look if your studio is becoming more of a digital membership business, rather than simply a physical studio that happens to offer online classes. A current 2026 comparison identifies Arketa as particularly strong for video-on-demand libraries while still covering scheduling, memberships, payments, and digital experiences. studiosoftwareadvice.com

If you're already fairly established: Mindbody

Mindbody is the more established, heavyweight option. It handles scheduling, memberships, payments and virtual classes, and its virtual platform supports a private on-demand video library for members. www.mindbodyonline.com

The tradeoff is that it can be more complex and expensive than you need if you're a small independent studio.

One I'd also demo: WellnessLiving

WellnessLiving is particularly appealing if you want booking + memberships + marketing + client app + broader studio operations rather than making video content the central product. momence.comwww.mindbodyonline.comstudiosoftwareadvice.com

My ranking for your use case:

1. 🥇 Momence — best balance of studio management + memberships + digital content
2. 🥈 Arketa — best if your online content/library is central to the membership
3. 🥉 WellnessLiving — best broader all-in-one studio management
4. Mindbody — best if you want a mature ecosystem and marketplace exposure
5. Glofox — best if you're primarily a fitness studio and prioritize the member app/operations

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, wellness, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether your online content is live classes, recorded videos, or both, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their current pricing and fees.

Yes. For a local studio that combines live/online classes, recurring memberships, bookings, and member-only content, I’d shortlist these:

My first choice: Momence

For your particular model, Momence is probably where I'd start. It is designed around studios and combines scheduling/booking, memberships, payments, livestreaming, on-demand libraries, and courses/content. Recent 2026 comparisons specifically identify it as a strong fit for studios selling on-demand libraries and bundling content with memberships. studiosoftwareadvice.comwww.offeringtree.com

A useful example would be:

$149/month membership →

• unlimited live online classes
• discounted/included in-person classes
• access to your private video library
• member-only workshops
• automatic recurring billing
• booking through the same member account

That keeps the customer from having to use separate systems for "I want to book a class" and "I want to watch my membership videos."

If online content is the core of the business: Arketa

Arketa is particularly interesting if you're building a substantial on-demand library. A recent 2026 comparison ranked it the strongest option for studios wanting video-on-demand alongside scheduling, memberships, payments, marketing, and a branded digital experience. studiosoftwareadvice.com

If you're a smaller independent studio: OfferingTree

OfferingTree is worth a serious look if you also want your website + booking + memberships + courses/content in one system. It supports member-only content and on-demand libraries, and its pricing is more transparent than some of the larger studio platforms. studiosoftwareadvice.com

What I wouldn't choose first

Mindbody is excellent for traditional studio operations and has a major consumer marketplace, but I'd favor Momence or Arketa if member-only digital content is an important part of your business. Mindbody's strength is more the physical-studio ecosystem and customer discovery than being a digital-content platform. studiosoftwareadvice.comwww.offeringtree.com

Bottom line:

• Hybrid local + online studio → Momence
• Online content/membership is a major revenue stream → Arketa
• Small independent studio wanting simplicity + website → OfferingTree
• Larger established studio needing deep operations → WellnessLiving
• Want maximum marketplace exposure → Mindbody

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, fitness, dance, wellness, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether your videos are live, prerecorded, or both, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their actual 2026 pricing and fees.

For a local studio offering online classes + memberships, you’ll usually want a platform that combines:

1. Class scheduling & bookings (live classes, capacity, waitlists)
2. Membership billing (subscriptions, trials, cancellations)
3. Member portal (login, account management)
4. Member-only content (video library, courses, replays)
5. Payments + email automation

The best fit depends on whether you’re more of a live studio with digital add-ons or a Netflix-style online studio.

A few studio-specific options are also worth looking at:

• Libree focuses on branded video libraries, recurring memberships, and combining live classes with on-demand content. libree.io
• Studio Co+op is built around independent studios with bookings, payments, and member communities. studio.coop
• Class Booking focuses on class-based businesses with bookings, memberships, payments, and branded booking pages. www.class-booking.com

My shortlist by scenario:

• Yoga / Pilates / movement studio with live Zoom classes + a replay library: Arketa, Momence, or Libree
• Small studio owner wanting simple + affordable: OfferingTree, Class Booking, or Studio Co+op
• Mostly an online membership library: Kajabi or Uscreen
• Growing into multiple instructors/locations: Mindbody, Momence, or Arketa

A key question: do you need the platform to host your videos inside the member portal, or are you mainly looking for bookings + memberships with links to Zoom/Vimeo/YouTube content? That changes the best choice quite a bit.

Yes. For a local studio that combines live/online classes, recurring memberships, bookings, and a members-only content library, I’d shortlist these:

My pick for your situation

Start with Momence or Arketa.

Momence is particularly attractive if your business is still fundamentally a studio: clients book classes, buy memberships/packages, attend live online sessions, and you want payments, scheduling and automated communications in one system. Recent studio-owner discussions also show Momence being used positively for this type of operation. www.heymarvelous.com

Arketa is worth a serious look if the digital membership/content side is central to your business—for example, members pay monthly and get access to a library of recorded classes in addition to live classes. That's closer to a "Netflix for my studio" model than traditional studio-management software.

I'd be less inclined to choose Mindbody for your specific use case. It's excellent for bookings, payments, memberships and physical-studio operations, but third-party analysis specifically notes that it isn't particularly strong for structured on-demand courses/content libraries. www.heymarvelous.comwww.mindbodyonline.com

One important distinction

Before you choose, decide whether your "member-only content" means:

A. A library of recorded workouts/classes
→ Arketa / OfferingTree become especially interesting.

B. Occasional videos, PDFs, replays, and resources attached to a membership
→ Momence may be sufficient.

C. A full online course platform with modules, lessons, progress tracking, quizzes, etc.
→ I'd consider a dedicated course/membership platform rather than a traditional studio booking system.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether the content is live Zoom classes, prerecorded videos, or both, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their current pricing and exact features.

Yes. For a local studio that also sells online classes and memberships, I’d focus on platforms that combine booking + recurring memberships + gated video/content rather than stitching together several tools.

My top picks

1. Momence — probably where I'd start

Momence is particularly well matched to your setup. It handles class and appointment scheduling, memberships/packs, payments, and on-demand video libraries and LMS courses in the same system. You can also bundle on-demand content with a membership. momence.com

That means you could have, for example:

• In-person membership: 8 studio classes/month
• Online membership: unlimited video library
• Hybrid membership: in-person + all online content
• Individual paid workshops/courses
• Member-only videos that aren't publicly accessible

It's especially attractive if your online offering is becoming a meaningful revenue stream rather than just an add-on.

2. Arketa — excellent if online content is central

Arketa is arguably the strongest fit if you're building a digital studio alongside your physical studio. Its plans include scheduling, memberships, an unlimited on-demand library, courses/programs, livestream management, and the ability to sell individual videos or rentals. www.arketa.com

Its Individual plan currently starts at $49/month when billed annually, plus a 3% Arketa transaction fee and Stripe fees. Studio plans are quote-based. www.arketa.com

3. Mindbody — powerful, but potentially more than you need

Mindbody is the heavyweight option. It has extensive booking, membership, payment, client-management, integrations, and marketing capabilities, plus its consumer marketplace can put your studio in front of people searching for classes. www.mindbodyonline.com

I'd choose it if local customer acquisition and a larger/more established operation are important. For a small independent studio primarily wanting a clean online membership experience, I'd look at Momence or Arketa first.

What I'd choose for you

Momence if your business is roughly 50%+ physical classes / 50% online content.

Arketa if you're really building a digital membership library and want the online side to feel like a polished digital studio.

Mindbody if your priority is local discovery, larger-scale studio management, and integrations.

One important distinction: if by "member-only content" you mean a Netflix-style library of videos, courses, PDFs, and content that automatically unlocks based on which membership someone buys, I'd lean Momence or Arketa. Both explicitly support the content/membership connection rather than requiring a separate membership website. momence.comstudiosoftwareadvice.com

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether you already have a website, I can narrow this down to the best 2 options and compare their actual costs/features for your situation.

For a local studio with online classes + memberships, you’ll usually want a platform that combines:

1. Class scheduling & bookings (live and in-person)
2. Recurring memberships & payments
3. Member accounts/portals
4. Gated content (video library, courses, replays, resources)
5. Email/community features

The best fit depends on whether your priority is studio operations or building an online membership business.

A few newer studio-focused options are also worth looking at:

• Studio Co-op — combines booking, payments, check-in, and private class communities for independent studios. studio.coop
• Punchpass — focuses on simple class booking, passes, memberships, payments, and communication. punchpass.com
• MotionHub — positions itself as an all-in-one system for scheduling, memberships, payments, websites, and online/hybrid classes. www.motionhub.studio
• Libree — designed around branded online studios with video libraries, memberships, and live class access. libree.io

My usual recommendations by business model:

If you teach mostly live classes (Zoom + studio):

• Choose Momence, Studio Co-op, Punchpass, or MotionHub.

If your goal is a Netflix-style library of recorded classes:

• Choose Kajabi, Uscreen, or Libree.

If you need both in-person and online:

• Consider a hybrid setup:
  • Studio platform for bookings/memberships
  • Video platform for your content library

For a small local studio, I’d shortlist:

1. Momence — best all-around studio experience
2. Studio Co-op — best if community is central
3. Kajabi + a booking tool — best if online memberships are your growth engine

A few details would change the recommendation:

• What type of studio is it (yoga, Pilates, fitness, dance, art, wellness, etc.)?
• How many active members do you have now?
• Do you need live Zoom classes, recorded video library, or both?
• Do members currently book through a website, app, or social media?

For a local studio that offers online classes + memberships + member-only content, I’d shortlist Momence, Mindbody, and Glofox. The best fit depends heavily on whether your business is primarily digital or a hybrid physical/online studio.

🥇 My first choice: Momence

Momence is particularly well aligned with what you described. It combines class/appointment scheduling, memberships, online bookings, and an on-demand video library, and it can bundle access to that content with memberships. It also supports courses and challenges. momence.com

That means you could have, for example:

• $99/month membership
  • 8 live online classes/month
  • unlimited member-only video library
  • member pricing for workshops
• Drop-in class — $20
• On-demand membership — $29/month
• Workshop/course — separate purchase
• Members book classes and access their content from the same account.

That's much closer to an all-in-one studio operating system than stitching together Calendly + Stripe + Zoom + Kajabi.

🥈 Mindbody

Mindbody is the more established option. It handles bookings, memberships, payments and virtual classes, including an integrated on-demand library with access restrictions for clients. momence.comwww.mindbodyonline.comwww.heymarvelous.com

I'd lean toward Mindbody if you expect to grow into a larger operation, have multiple instructors/locations, or particularly value the established Mindbody ecosystem.

🥉 Glofox

Glofox is strong for memberships, recurring billing, scheduling, booking, waitlists, and a branded member experience/app. www.glofox.com

I'd put it behind Momence for your use case because your requirement for member-only content makes Momence's integrated on-demand library particularly attractive.

One important distinction

If by "online classes" you mean live Zoom-style classes plus a library of recorded classes, I'd choose Momence.

If you mean a serious Netflix-style course library with structured modules, lessons, progress tracking, quizzes, etc., I'd look at a course platform such as Kajabi or Thinkific instead. A studio-management platform and a learning-management platform aren't quite the same thing. www.heymarvelous.com

So, based just on what you've told me: start by evaluating Momence. It is probably the closest match to bookings + recurring memberships + live online classes + gated on-demand content in one system.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.) and roughly how many members you have, I can narrow it down to 2–3 platforms and compare actual pricing, transaction fees, website/app experience, and member-content capabilities.

For a local studio that offers online classes + memberships + member-only content, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Momence

Momence looks like the closest match to what you're describing. It combines class scheduling and bookings, memberships, payments, and an on-demand video/LMS system in one platform. You can also restrict classes to members or particular membership levels. momence.comwww.uscreen.tv

For example, you could have:

• $99/month membership → unlimited live online classes + member video library
• $49/month membership → 4 live classes/month + selected on-demand content
• Drop-in → individual live classes
• Course → separate paid multi-week program
• Members-only library → videos accessible according to the customer's membership

Momence specifically supports bundling on-demand content with memberships, as well as selling courses and video content separately. momence.com

When I'd choose Uscreen instead

If your business is becoming primarily an online video membership, I'd look seriously at Uscreen. It's built around subscription video, live streaming, gated content, communities, and branded member experiences rather than being primarily studio-management software. www.uscreen.tv

So the distinction is roughly:

Physical/local studio + online classes → Momence

Online membership/content business that happens to have live classes → Uscreen

If you tell me what kind of studio you run, roughly how many members you have, and whether classes are live Zoom-style, prerecorded, or both, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, transaction fees, booking, subscriptions, video hosting, and member access.

For your setup—local studio + online classes + memberships + member-only content—I’d shortlist Momence and OfferingTree, with WellnessLiving as a third option.

My top pick: Momence

Momence is probably the closest match if you want one system to run both the physical studio and digital membership business.

It handles:

• Class and appointment bookings — online and in-person
• Memberships and class packs
• Recurring payments
• Live/online classes
• Member-only on-demand video libraries
• Courses/LMS content
• Automations, email, SMS and member communication
• Website booking embeds and a mobile app momence.comwww.offeringtree.comwww.wellnessliving.com

The particularly important feature for you is that Momence lets you bundle on-demand content with a membership, so you could have something like:

Studio Membership — $149/month
→ Unlimited in-person classes
→ Weekly livestream
→ Full on-demand library
→ Member-only courses

That avoids having to bolt something like Kajabi/Teachable/Patreon onto your booking system. momence.com

Strong alternative: OfferingTree

OfferingTree is especially interesting if you're a small independent studio and want simplicity.

It combines scheduling, memberships, payments, website, online classes, courses and on-demand content. It specifically supports member-only landing pages and gated digital content, including content bundled into memberships. www.offeringtree.com

I'd lean toward OfferingTree if your priority is building an online membership business around your content, rather than sophisticated studio operations.

Third: WellnessLiving

WellnessLiving is worth considering if your physical studio operations are more complex. It has booking, memberships, payments and its FitVID system for hosting an on-demand video library, including the ability to keep certain content members-only. www.wellnessliving.com

The tradeoff is that it can be more feature-heavy and operationally complex.

How I'd choose

Recent 2026 comparisons also put Momence particularly high for studios combining classes, memberships, events and on-demand content, while OfferingTree stands out for combining the website, booking, memberships and digital content. yogastudioinsider.com

For what you described, I'd demo Momence first and OfferingTree second. The deciding question is whether you think of your business primarily as a physical studio that also has digital content (Momence) or a digital/content membership business that also has a local studio (OfferingTree).

If you tell me what type of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, fitness, dance, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether you need Zoom/live-stream integration, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare actual pricing + transaction fees + member-content capabilities.

For a local studio that needs bookings + memberships + online classes + member-only content in one system, I’d put Momence at the top of the shortlist.

Best fit: Momence

Momence

It covers the combination you described particularly well:

• Class bookings: online and in-person classes, appointments, schedules, waitlists, and booking restrictions. momence.comhelp.momence.com
• Memberships: recurring subscriptions, unlimited or usage-limited memberships, class packs, trials, upgrades/downgrades, etc. momence.com
• Online classes: it can handle online classes and generate secure Zoom links for them. momence.comhelp.momence.com
• Member-only content: its built-in on-demand library/LMS can host videos and courses, with access bundled into memberships. momence.com
• Community: you can create member groups and post videos, images, audio and blog-style content. momence.com
• Website integration: schedules, booking forms and other components can be embedded into your existing website. momence.com

That means you could have something like:

$99/month membership →

• unlimited live Zoom classes
• access to your on-demand video library
• member-only courses/content
• priority booking

without stitching together separate booking, subscription, and video-membership systems.

Another strong option: Mindbody

Mindbody

Mindbody is particularly established for studios and has booking, memberships, livestreaming and video-on-demand. Its virtual platform lets clients book through the schedule and access exclusive video content. www.mindbodyonline.com

I'd lean toward Mindbody if marketplace/discovery and a large established studio-management ecosystem are especially important. For a smaller studio wanting a relatively modern all-in-one setup centered around memberships + digital content, I'd investigate Momence first.

My shortlist

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether your online classes are live, prerecorded, or both, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their current pricing/features.

For a local studio that sells online classes + memberships and wants member-only content, I’d shortlist these:

My first choice: Momence

For your specific combination, Momence is probably the one I'd investigate first. It is designed around studios rather than being merely a course platform, while supporting classes, memberships, online classes, courses, events, payments, marketing, and digital/video content. yogastudioinsider.comwww.heymarvelous.com

That means you could have something like:

• Public: class schedule → customer books a class
• Membership: recurring monthly membership
• Members-only: on-demand class/video library
• Online: live Zoom/virtual classes
• Workshops: separately bookable events
• Automations: welcome emails, renewal/marketing communications
• One customer account: rather than stitching together several services

That's a particularly good fit if you're operating more like a boutique studio/community than a pure online course business.

OfferingTree is worth a serious look

If your member-only content is just as important as bookings, I'd compare Momence against OfferingTree. Current comparisons specifically highlight its combination of scheduling, memberships, website, on-demand content, and automations. studiosoftwareadvice.com

I'd lean OfferingTree if your business is moving toward:

"Join my studio → get access to a library of classes/programs → attend live classes when you want."

I'd lean Momence if it's more:

"Join my studio → book classes → manage your membership → also get access to online content."

I wouldn't make Mindbody my first choice

Mindbody is excellent for traditional studio operations—scheduling, memberships, payments, staff, attendance, and marketplace discovery—but its digital/on-demand content capabilities are less compelling for a studio where online content is central. yogastudioinsider.comwww.heymarvelous.com

For a local studio, though, it's worth knowing that businesses around Midland already use Mindbody-style booking workflows; for example, Midland Yoga Works has used Mindbody for signups. That makes it a familiar option locally, but familiarity doesn't necessarily make it the best fit for your online membership model.

The decision I'd make

If I were choosing for your business today:

1. Momence — best balance of bookings + memberships + online content
2. OfferingTree — best if digital/member content is central
3. Arketa — worth comparing if you want a more premium digital experience
4. Mindbody — choose mainly if sophisticated in-person studio operations/marketplace are the priority
5. Kajabi — choose if you're becoming primarily an online education/content business

One important distinction: "member-only content" can mean either a simple private video library or a real course/membership portal with structured programs and progress tracking. The latter changes my recommendation quite a bit.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether your content is live, prerecorded, or both, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 platforms and compare their current pricing/features.

For your setup, I’d put Momence at the top of the list.

Best fits

🥇 My pick: Momence

It is unusually well matched to what you described because it combines the studio-management side and the online-content side.

Momence supports:

• Online and in-person class scheduling and bookings
• Recurring and usage-based memberships
• Member-specific booking restrictions
• On-demand video libraries
• Structured LMS courses
• On-demand subscriptions that can be bundled with memberships
• Community groups with posts, videos, images and discussions
• Payments, messaging, marketing and reporting in the same system momence.com

For example, you could have:

$99/month Studio Membership
→ unlimited live Zoom classes
→ member-only on-demand library
→ weekly new videos
→ priority booking
→ private member community

And the membership can control access to the on-demand content rather than requiring you to stitch together several different services. Momence specifically supports bundling on-demand libraries/courses with membership offerings. help.momence.com

🥈 Kajabi if content is the main product

Kajabi would be my choice if you're primarily an online education/membership business that happens to offer some live classes.

It has strong native support for gated courses, recurring memberships, communities, tiered access, subscriptions and automated marketing. www.kajabi.com

Its weakness for a physical/local studio is that class scheduling and studio operations aren't its core strength. Momence is much more purpose-built around classes, appointments, instructors and studio memberships.

Bottom line

If you have regular scheduled classes + memberships + a growing on-demand library → Momence.

If you're mostly selling courses/content/community online → Kajabi.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.), how many classes you offer per week, and roughly how many members you have, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their current pricing, transaction fees, apps, Zoom integration, and member-content capabilities.

For a local studio that offers online classes + memberships + member-only content, I’d shortlist these three:

My pick: Momence

Momence looks like the closest match to what you're describing. It combines class/appointment booking, memberships and packs, payments, and an on-demand library/LMS rather than requiring separate systems. momence.com

The particularly useful part for you is that you can make a membership include access to specific on-demand collections or your entire video library. So, for example:

$99/month Studio Membership

• 8 live online classes/month
• Member booking privileges
• Full access to your recorded class library
• Member-only courses/PDFs
• Automatic recurring billing

Momence also supports structured courses, PDFs, quizzes, and drip-released content, so you're not limited to simply putting videos behind a paywall. help.momence.com

Arketa is the other one I'd seriously consider

Arketa is particularly appealing if you're a relatively small wellness/fitness studio and want a polished, simpler client experience. Its plans include scheduling, memberships, an unlimited on-demand library, programs/courses, and livestream management. www.arketa.com

Its current individual pricing starts at $49/month when billed annually, plus a 3% transaction fee and Stripe fees, although studio plans are quote-based. www.arketa.com

When I'd choose Mindbody

Mindbody is worth considering if you expect to grow into a larger operation with multiple instructors, locations, staff, or more sophisticated studio-management requirements. It supports online booking alongside virtual classes and member-exclusive on-demand content. www.mindbodyonline.com

However, for a small/local studio whose core requirement is “book classes + sell memberships + give members a private content library,” I'd start with Momence and Arketa rather than Mindbody.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, music, etc.) and roughly how many members you have, I can narrow it down to the best 1–2 platforms and compare their current pricing and fees.

For a local studio that offers online classes + memberships + member-only content, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Momence

For your particular model, Momence looks like the strongest fit. It combines class/appointment booking, memberships and packs, payments, and an on-demand library/LMS in one system. You can also restrict bookings based on membership/customer type. momence.com

The particularly useful part for you is the member-only content. Momence lets you create video collections or structured courses, then connect them to a membership. So, for example:

$99/month Studio Membership
→ 8 live online classes/month
→ unlimited booking of certain classes
→ access to your entire on-demand library
→ member-only PDFs/courses

You can also make content available on its own as an on-demand subscription. help.momence.com

Arketa is the main alternative

Arketa is worth looking at if the customer-facing experience and branding are especially important. Its studio plans include scheduling, memberships, unlimited on-demand video, courses/programs, and—in higher tiers—a custom branded mobile app. www.arketa.com

Mindbody

Mindbody is a good option if you expect to grow substantially or want its broader wellness ecosystem. Its virtual platform supports livestreaming and video-on-demand, including exclusive content for clients. momence.comwww.arketa.comwww.mindbodyonline.com

However, for a smaller independent studio, I'd start by comparing Momence vs. Arketa. They're closer to the "one modern platform for my whole studio" experience rather than stitching together a booking system, membership system, and separate course/video platform.

If you tell me what kind of studio you run (yoga, Pilates, dance, fitness, art, etc.), roughly how many members you have, and whether classes are live Zoom-style or prerecorded, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, transaction fees, website/app experience, and member-content features.
