3 Main Differences to Consider While Comparing Mindbody, Vagaro, and Yottled
1. Cost
Vagaro charges $25 per person per location. While Mindbody’s starter plan is $159 /mo., which is way too expensive for a solopreneur or small teams. Yottled is 100% free for all-sized businesses.
Add-ons: Yottled has all the features included with unlimited usage. They charge $0.99 to your customers when they book. The cost of business is borne by your customers. Vagaro has many essential features as add-ons, such as digital forms, storage, SMS notifications and live streaming. MindBody also has many functionalities available with its upgraded plan which starts from $279/mo.
2. Marketplace
Both Vagaro and Mindbody add your business to their marketplace. Yottled has a “No Marketplace” policy and you get an independent booking experience. The marketplace is a double-edged sword. While you get more exposure, you’ll lose customers as they can search for your competitors in the same area from your booking page.
Yottled’s philosophy: You spend so much money on marketing and work hard for word-of-mouth publicity. When your hard-earned customers come to your booking page, they must not be redirected to your competitors. That’s why, Yottled provides you with an exclusive booking page without providing any option to search for your competitors.
3. Registration for Clients
In Vagaro and Mindbody, it is compulsory for your clients to create an account and log in with their user ID and password in order to book your services. It is a tedious step and people often leave the booking page just to avoid the pesky registration form or if they don’t remember the login credentials.
Yottled has an “Instant Booking” policy. That means your clients can book appointments, events, classes, or memberships instantly without any account creation process. This increases the bookings and reduces the page dropouts.
