The Irish alternative
Looking for a Mindbody alternative?
Mindbody is the largest studio-management platform, with its own consumer app. FitFinder is a different thing built for Irish studios: a marketplace that brings you new local members, with pay-per-booking pricing instead of a monthly bill — and you keep your members and your data. Here's the honest side-by-side.

Why Irish studios choose FitFinder
Pay only when you earn
No monthly bill. 10% on a booking we help you take — nothing in a quiet week.
New members, not just software
The marketplace and map put your classes in front of locals actively looking to book.
Irish, and on your side
An Irish team, euro payouts straight to your bank, and support that answers.
When Mindbody might be the better fit
We'll be straight with you: Mindbody is a strong choice for large, multi-site chains that want the biggest app marketplace and heavy enterprise features. If that's you, it may suit you better than FitFinder — and you can still list on FitFinder alongside it for the extra reach.
Already on Mindbody? Keep it — we'll bring your timetable, members and passes across so there's nothing to re-key.
“Switching software sounds like a big job. It isn't — because we make it our job, not yours. You export once, we map every class, member and pass, and nothing goes live until you've looked at it. If the AI gets something wrong, just reply to my welcome email — it comes straight to me, and I'll fix it myself.”
Mindbody alternative — common questions
- Is FitFinder a replacement for Mindbody?
- It can be — many studios run their booking and payments on FitFinder instead of paying a monthly fee. But you don't have to switch: you can keep Mindbody for everything you do today and just list on FitFinder for the extra reach. Your call.
- Do I have to leave Mindbody to try FitFinder?
- No. FitFinder runs alongside Mindbody. We import your timetable, members and passes so there's nothing to re-key, and you list on FitFinder to be found by new local members.
- How does FitFinder's pricing compare to Mindbody?
- FitFinder is free to list — you pay 10% per booking on the free tier (0% on your own bookings once you're on a plan), so you only pay when you earn. Mindbody charges a monthly subscription whether you're busy that month or not.
- Will I lose my members if I switch?
- No — on FitFinder your members are yours and you can export your list any time. We never rent your own members back to you.
