StudioFlow vs Momence
Momence is an all-in-one studio platform with a subscription plus fees on payments. StudioFlow is a focused instructor app where you pay per class registration.
What Momence does well
Momence is a genuinely capable platform. It covers booking, memberships, marketing automation, point of sale, and a customer inbox in one place, and it publishes its pricing openly — including a free Basic tier. For a studio that wants one system to run everything, there’s a lot here.
It’s also become one of the most common choices among boutique studios, and for good reason: the feature set is broad and the product is actively developed.
The structural difference
Momence’s pricing has two parts. The Pro plan costs $60/month — $720 a year — and on top of that, Momence adds a 2.5% platform fee to payments you take, in addition to normal card processing. The free Basic tier carries heavier fees: 5% on you and 4% on your client per payment. The $199/month Custom plan is the cheapest tier without platform fees.
StudioFlow has no subscription and takes no percentage of your revenue. You pay a small amount per class registration, plus credits for SMS and email reminders. Your software cost tracks your teaching, not your turnover.
The more you earn, the more that 2.5% matters. For an independent instructor, the combination of a fixed monthly fee plus a slice of every payment is exactly the structure StudioFlow was built to avoid.
What a year actually costs
Based on a typical solo instructor: 4 classes per term, 4 terms per year, 10 clients per class.
| Platform | Annual cost |
|---|---|
| StudioFlow | $89.60 |
| Momence | $720 |

Does Momence take a cut of payments?
On the free and Pro plans, yes — per their public pricing page, the free tier carries a 5% + 4% platform fee per payment and Pro carries 2.5%, both in addition to standard card processing fees. The $199/month Custom plan removes platform fees.
What is a cheaper alternative to Momence?
StudioFlow has no subscription and no percentage fees on your revenue. A typical solo instructor running 4 classes a term, 4 terms a year, with 10 clients per class typically pays under €100 a year at current rates, compared with $720/year plus 2.5% of payments on Momence Pro.
Is Momence or StudioFlow better for a solo instructor?
It depends what you need. Momence is a full studio platform — strongest when you have staff, retail, memberships, and marketing to run. StudioFlow is deliberately narrower: scheduling, bookings, term enrolments, attendance, and client messaging for one instructor, priced per use rather than per month.
Does StudioFlow have a monthly fee?
No. StudioFlow is free to download, and core scheduling and booking features are free. You top up a credit balance and pay per class registration, SMS, and email — so quiet months cost almost nothing.
