Extensive features

Avoid software limitations

Start-ups like bsport have some basic features but lack the ability to sustain growth. Tools for managing classes & appointments of all types should be a given with your software. 
Mindbody’s comprehensive tools—like integrated marketing, reporting, scheduling & AI/ML—help you manage your business, all in one place.

Inclusive prices

Dodge the hidden fees & higher costs

Software should accommodate your needs & budget. Platforms like bsport restrict essential tools for pricier tiers.
