MINDBODY VS. ARKETA
Real growth doesn’t happen with shallow start-ups like Arketa
Platforms that claim to be the "new standard for modern booking software" often fall short on basic capabilities. Unlike Arketa, Mindbody goes beyond the surface to help run & grow your business.

Top 3 reasons to choose Mindbody over anyone else
Why do things “another way” when our way has 20+ years of proven success? Here's how we’re different from other software.
Platform Reliability
Skip the growing pains & instability
Your software should look AND feel good. Start-ups like Arketa claim to have modern features built for your needs but lack the core capabilities for growth.
Mindbody’s all-in-one platform—which includes integrated marketing, reporting, scheduling & AI/ML—helps you to manage & scale your business seamlessly.
Customer Service
Don’t miss out on getting help you need
Inexperienced software like Arketa offers minimal customer service with no phone support & limited personalization—leaving you feeling left behind.
Mindbody has hands-on help with onboarding, 24/7 AI assistance & live support. We’ll make sure you’re set up for success with answers to any questions.
Mindbody App
Secure your spot on the top fitness & wellness booking app
No other software in the industry has a consumer booking platform that rivals the Mindbody app.
With 2.4M+ active users, the Mindbody app helps you get discovered by new clients to generate more revenue—which could offset up to 100% of your subscription costs.
