easybook.studio

Overview

easybook.studio is a web service for booking classes and workshops, managing memberships and handling studio payments. It suits independent instructors and smaller studios that want recurring schedules and self-managing passes. Its no-commission model is appealing, but the free tier’s small customer cap and cash-only payments make it a limited starting point.

Key features

Recurring classes and workshops, cancellation policies, attendance lists and unlimited bookings cover the central scheduling workflow. Automatic waitlist booking is a practical advantage: when someone cancels, the next person in line is booked without the studio having to arrange the replacement manually.

Customers can purchase class passes and memberships that renew and track themselves, while studios can accept bookings through an embeddable website widget or their own booking page. The booking experience is available in German and English. Whereby video streaming is also included, extending the service to instructors offering online sessions.

Online payment options include card, SEPA, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, although the paid plan descriptions specifically name card, SEPA and PayPal. Payments go directly to the studio’s Stripe or PayPal account, and the maker says it charges no booking commission. That keeps the payment relationship direct, but the free plan accepts cash only, so it will not suit businesses that depend on customers paying at booking.

Paid plans include a self-service tool for migrating Eversports customers, products, bookings and events, which can reduce the work of switching from that service. The founder personally answers support emails, and the site offers onboarding help. Its privacy policy describes SSL/TLS encryption for transmissions, encrypted stored data, access restrictions and authentication; hosting is on EU servers through Supabase, Cloudflare and Google Cloud.

Pricing

easybook.studio is freemium, with a 30-day trial and paid plans advertised from €5/mo. The plan prices below are shown exactly as supplied; the accompanying billing terms and regular prices matter because the displayed amounts are promotional.

The free plan is useful for a very small operation that can take cash, but 25 customers and one team member leave little room to grow. Basic raises the ceiling to 500 customers and 10 team members and adds online payments; Instructor shares the 500-customer cap but keeps the team to one, while adding studio connections and studio-time booking. Growing is for a larger team with up to 1,000 customers, and Business removes both listed caps. The promotional terms are substantial: Basic, Growing and Business have 75% discounts for two years, while Instructor’s 50% discount lasts one year. Compare the regular prices before committing beyond those periods.

Platforms

easybook.studio is available on the web. That fits studios managing bookings from a browser, but it is not a stated choice for people seeking a dedicated Android or iOS app.

Who it's for

It is strongest for independent instructors and studios that prioritize recurring class schedules, passes or memberships, attendance tracking and automated waitlists. Small teams can start free if they remain under the 25-customer cap and collect cash. Studios that need online payments must choose a paid tier, and operations expecting more customers or staff should weigh the higher plan limits and promotional renewal terms carefully.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Automatic waitlist booking reduces manual replacement work after cancellations.
• Pros: Class passes and memberships renew and track themselves, supporting repeat attendance.
• Pros: Direct payouts to the studio’s Stripe or PayPal account and no booking commission keep payment handling direct.
• Pros: Paid Eversports migration and onboarding help can ease a move for studios already using that service.
• Cons: The free plan stops at 25 customers and one team member, and cash is the only payment method.
• Cons: The promotional discounts are time-limited, so the regular prices are important to assess for long-term use.
• Cons: Web is the only stated platform, which may not meet a preference for native mobile apps.

Alternatives

For a broader shortlist, see Pilates Studio Software. Choose WellnessLiving instead if Android or iOS apps matter: its Starter plan is $62 a month billed annually for one staff member and includes classes and appointments booking plus client and staff apps. Gymdesk may fit a gym looking for mobile apps and a paid monthly option; its listed Gymdesk plan is $75 a month for up to 50 members, with no free plan.

Zen Planner is another paid alternative with Android and iOS as well as web, and its Zen Planner Studio plan is $99 a month for 45 active members. For a solo Pilates instructor, Hone offers an Instructor plan at $14 a month with unlimited class plans; its Studio Starter plan is $49 a month for up to three. Walla may suit a studio prioritizing reporting and integrations: its Core plan is $299 a month per location and includes unlimited users, advanced reporting and AI dashboards, Google and Meta integrations, and payroll.

Arketa is worth considering for an individual operator seeking Android and iOS apps; its Individual plan is $49 a month billed annually, with a 3% transaction fee plus Stripe fees and one team member login. Glofox is a paid Android and iOS alternative for booking, member management and payment processing. Gymcatch may appeal to a small operator wanting unlimited bookings, customers and team members: its plan is £10 a month.

Verdict

Choose easybook.studio if you run a class-based studio or teach independently and want self-managing memberships, automatic waitlists and direct payouts without a booking commission. Its main trade-off is the tightly limited, cash-only free plan; studios that need online payments must pay, and teams that want a native mobile app should look elsewhere.
