The side-by-side
Mindbody vs KADRE, line by line.
The structural facts a switching owner actually asks about — every Mindbody cell cited to a public source, every KADRE cell a shipped surface.
| Mindbody | KADRE | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cut of your revenue | Runs a consumer marketplace and can take a cut on network-sourced bookings, on top of a monthly subscription.1 | 0% platform cut. You're the merchant of record with direct Stripe payouts — only Stripe's standard processing fee applies. |
| Monthly price over time | Tiered monthly subscriptions that grow as you add features; public pricing reports describe prices climbing over time.1 | $1 per active member, capped at $99/mo — the cap never rises with your headcount. |
| Getting your data out | A full member-data export is handled through support; operators publicly report friction getting one out.2 | One-tap CSV export of your members and history, any time — no ticket, no gatekeeping. |
| Who markets to your members | Your studio is listed in a shared consumer marketplace that promotes classes across studios to the same members.3 | Only you. Members book on your own branded site at you.kadre.fit — no shared directory, no cross-promotion. |
| Getting set up | Guided setup or migration; operators publicly report multi-week onboarding.4 | Same day. KADRE drafts your storefront from the website you already have; you review it and go live. |
| Your members' booking app | Members use the shared, incumbent-branded consumer app to discover and book.3 | Your storefront is your own branded booking site — your brand, your address at you.kadre.fit. |
| Who owns the platform | Owned by a private-equity firm (Vista Equity Partners, 2019); later merged with ClassPass.5 | Independent and founder-run — no outside owner setting your price. |

Competitor figures reflect public pricing pages, help-center docs, and operator reviews as cited — hedged, never invented. Card processing is Stripe’s standard fee, paid to Stripe — never a KADRE markup. We compete on fees, onboarding, and who owns your members — never on their member app.
Switching from Mindbody
Moving over, without the drama.
KADRE drafts your storefront from your live site today; your member list imports via CSV; your members’ cards stay in your own Stripe.
Your storefront
KADRE reads the website you already have and drafts your branded booking site — same day. You review it before anything goes live.
Your members
Bring your member list over by CSV import — names, emails, and the membership context you already keep.
Your payments
You connect your own Stripe account, so your members' cards stay in your Stripe — KADRE is never in the middle of your money.
No lock-in on the way out, either: export your members and history to CSV any time, and your card-on-file relationships live in your own Stripe from day one.
Why owners switch
What changes when you move to KADRE.
The differences that matter to an independent studio, side by side — structural facts, not a feature checklist.
No marketplace cut
On KADRE you're the merchant of record with direct Stripe payouts and no platform cut of your revenue — you keep 100% of what you charge, and only Stripe's standard processing fee applies.
You own the member relationship
Members book on your own branded site at you.kadre.fit — not a shared marketplace directory that can market to your members or surface competitors alongside you.
Live today, not after a long onboarding
KADRE reads your existing website — your brand, your class names, your hours — and drafts your storefront. You review the draft and go live the same day, not weeks later.
Independent and founder-run
KADRE isn't private-equity-owned, so there's no incentive to hike your price over time or monetize your members' attention. Your client list stays yours.
Set up in an afternoon
Your brand. Your money. The whole studio.
Getting live is the easy part. What keeps a studio alive is what happens after — so KADRE keeps going: it runs your week and it grows your membership. Here’s the whole thing.
Your brand, your domain
Your brand — not a marketplace.
A real, SEO-indexed storefront at you.kadre.fit — your color, your font, your logo. Members book on your site; you own the relationship.
- Indexed by Google as your own site — not buried in a marketplace app.
- Put your coaches on your own site — a real “Our Coaches” section with bios, specialties, and the certifications you list.
- The client relationship stays yours. We never market to your members.
Your money
Keep 100% of what you charge.
You're the merchant of record — direct Stripe payouts, no platform cut. What you charge lands in your account, minus only Stripe's standard processing fee.
- Intro offers, class packs, and memberships — built in.
- No platform markup on your sales.
The whole studio
The whole studio, run for you.
Scheduling, check-in and walk-ins, packs and memberships — and a live dashboard that flags at-risk members before they churn.
- Auto-waitlists that promote the next member.
- A live KPI dashboard with automatic at-risk flagging.
- A built-in CRM — every member in one place.
Live sample data — a real session on the shared demo studio, not a platform aggregate.
Questions owners ask
Straight answers before you switch.
- Is KADRE a good Mindbody alternative for a small studio?

- No. You're the merchant of record with direct Stripe payouts. KADRE takes no platform cut of your sales — only Stripe's standard card-processing fee applies, paid to Stripe.
- Can I move my studio to KADRE from Mindbody?
- Yes. KADRE drafts your storefront from your current website so setup is same-day, and you bring your member list over by CSV import. Your members' cards stay in your own Stripe. You set your own prices, schedule, and membership terms before you charge anyone.
- Can I leave KADRE?
- Any time — and you take everything with you. KADRE never locks in your data: export your full member list and history to CSV in one tap, with no export fee and no support ticket. Because you're the merchant of record, your members' cards live in your own Stripe account, so those relationships leave with you too.

From the founder
Independent and founder-run.
KADRE exists because too many good studios hand a fifth of their revenue to a marketplace that then turns around and markets to their own members. KADRE is independent and founder-run — not PE-owned — so no one upstream wins when your price goes up or your members’ attention gets sold. You keep your brand, your members, and your money.
- Payments by StripeYour money moves on Stripe’s infrastructure, and you’re the merchant of record.
- Bank-grade tenant isolationRow-level security and a hardened permission model keep every studio’s data its own.
- Your data, never locked inLeave any time and take everything with you — export your full member list and history to CSV in one tap, no export fee and no support ticket. Because you’re the merchant of record, your members’ cards live in your own Stripe account, so those relationships leave with you too.
- Independent, founder-runNot private-equity-owned. No incentive to hike your price or sell your members’ attention.
