Who should choose which

Choose HelloGrowthCRM if:

Studios, gyms and spas whose new-client enquiries come in by phone, website and social and get lost between the front desk and the owner. HelloGrowthCRM gives a small sales and front-desk team a pipeline for trials and enquiries, website chat, an AI voice agent for missed calls, a dialer and email follow-up, for $12 per user per month, next to the Mindbody plan you already run.

Choose Mindbody if:

Fitness, wellness and beauty businesses that need one system for the studio: class and appointment booking, memberships, point of sale, payments, staff scheduling and a listing on the Mindbody consumer app. Mindbody prices per location rather than per user, and its Ultimate plan adds automated campaigns, an AI concierge and a built-in sales pipeline. HelloGrowthCRM does not replace those.

What Mindbody is, and where a CRM fits

Mindbody is business software for fitness, wellness and beauty businesses. It runs class and appointment booking, memberships, point of sale and payments, a website and booking widgets, and lists the business on the Mindbody consumer app. Mindbody says more than 40,000 businesses use it. Plans are priced per location rather than per user, from Starter to Ultimate (checked 2026-10-29).

HelloGrowthCRM is an AI CRM suite for the part before someone becomes a member. Enquiries arrive from web forms, website chat, calls and social messages, each with an owner and a follow-up task. Staff call from the browser, an AI voice agent answers missed calls, and email sequences and texts chase trial bookings until the lead replies.

There is no Mindbody connector, so the two run side by side: new enquiries live in HelloGrowthCRM until they book, and members live in Mindbody. The tables on this page show both columns as of 2026-10-29. "Not listed" means Mindbody's own pages do not list the capability, and a plan name means it starts on that plan.

To decide, count last month's enquiries and how many became trial bookings. If your Mindbody plan has no pipeline and that number is a guess, a CRM next to Mindbody turns it into a list someone works.

What HelloGrowthCRM includes for teams comparing Mindbody

Included in Growth. Each card says what the feature does not do yet.

  • Website chat with AI answers

    A chat widget with live visitors, proactive triggers and answers drawn from your knowledge base.

  • Scheduler and booking pages

    Branded booking pages with one-to-one, round-robin and collective meeting types, routing forms and reminders.

    Limit: Two-way free/busy sync with outside calendars is not confirmed yet.

  • Team inbox

    Email, SMS, chat, social and WhatsApp conversations in one inbox, with assignment, snooze and mentions.

    Limit: AI autopilot drafts and sends on email only.

  • Knowledge base

    Help articles your customers can search, which the AI chat also answers from.

  • AI lead scoring

    Ranks every lead from engagement, source and past conversions so reps call the likeliest buyers first.

  • Email sequences

    Multi-step follow-up that stops when the lead replies, triggered by stage changes.

  • AI voice agents

    AI agents that place and answer calls and run scheduled call campaigns, with results on the lead.

    Limit: Voice and language coverage varies; test your accent and language on a call first.

    Limit: Scheduled, emailed reports are coming soon.

What it costs for 5, 10 and 25 users

Mindbody prices per location rather than per user: Starter from $79 per location per month, other plans by quote (mindbodyonline.com/business/pricing, checked 2026-10-29). Per-user pricing is not like for like, so price HelloGrowthCRM for the staff who follow up leads, next to the Mindbody plan you keep.

Price it yourself

  1. Ask Mindbody for a written quote for your team size, including any usage, AI or channel charges.
  2. Add the one-time fees: onboarding, migration and number setup.
  3. Multiply HelloGrowthCRM's $12 per user per month by your users and by 12: 5 users is $720, 10 users $1,440 and 25 users $3,600 a year.
  4. Compare the two totals for the features you will actually use.

Why teams look past Mindbody

Studios add a CRM next to Mindbody for three reasons.

The first is the plan ladder. Mindbody lists its sales pipeline, lead routing and lead activity history on the Ultimate plan (Mindbody lead management page, checked 2026-10-29). Studios on Starter or Accelerate follow up enquiries somewhere else.

The second is calls. Mindbody's pricing page lists no click-to-call dialer, call recording or AI call summaries for staff (checked 2026-10-29). HelloGrowthCRM includes them, plus an AI voice agent that answers missed calls.

The third is follow-up. HelloGrowthCRM sends email sequences that stop when the lead replies, and bulk texts through a connected provider, so a trial booking gets chased on schedule.

Where Mindbody is stronger

  • Class and appointment booking, memberships and point of sale built for studios, gyms and spas.
  • The Mindbody consumer app, which sends new clients to listed businesses.
  • Integrated payments for classes, memberships and products; HelloGrowthCRM takes payments through a provider you connect.
  • Client feedback and review reporting; review requests are coming soon in HelloGrowthCRM.
