Taking bookings for yoga classes comes down to four questions: what the fee does to a cheap drop-in class, whether a weekly timetable can live on one page, what happens when a class is full, and whether students can book on your own website. These are the per-booking platforms teachers and small studios shortlist, with each one's published fee. Studio management software with memberships and class packs is a different kind of product with a monthly subscription, and is not on this list.
Fees and features from each platform's own pricing pages, checked September 2026. We make Hi.Events, so it is listed first and labelled. Every figure for the others is sourced on its comparison page.
No monthly fee, a weekly timetable as one page with a capacity and a waitlist for every class, a report for each class, booking on your own website, and card payments in your own Stripe account as places sell.
Worth knowing: No memberships, class packs, credits or subscriptions, no app for students, and no marketplace where people browse for classes.
