Top 4 reasons why Mindbody is the better choice
Does Kenko’s “all-in-one system” really have everything you need? Here are a few ways we’re more equipped to help you grow.
Inclusive prices
Dodge the hidden fees & higher costs
Software should accommodate your needs & budget. Platforms like Kenko charge $199 a month for their most basic tier and treat essential tools like add-ons.
Mindbody has robust subscriptions for different business needs, so you can find what’s right for you & your budget.
Platform reliability
Skip the growing pains & instability
You need tech you can count on for managing your day to day. With only 500 customers, start-ups like Kenko are often inexperienced.
Mindbody powers 40K+ businesses with 99.9% uptime, which is on par with other leading software brands worldwide.
Customer service
Don’t miss out on getting help you need
Start-ups like Kenko offer limited ways to connect with support. Only available five days a week, getting in touch is complicated & leaves you feeling forgotten.
Mindbody provides on-demand, live support with 250+ agents and 24/7 AI assistance in case you need a hand.
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.
