Who should choose what?
Here's the honest fit for each option.
Choose CRM Dance if...
- You run a dance studio and want dance-specific workflows (competitions, seasons).
- You want founder-led onboarding and responsive support.
- You want predictable pricing without unlocking basics by tier.
Stick with Mindbody if...
- You run a multi-location wellness business (gym/yoga/spa), not a dance-focused operation.
- You want a large, established platform and you're comfortable with support queues.
- A branded native mobile app is a must-have (Mindbody offers this as an add-on in the matrix).
