A free plan, not a free trial
The free plan has no end date, takes no booking commission and doesn't ask for a card. Here is the trade-off: free profiles show ads, you get three photos, and paid tools like class packs and online classes stay locked until you upgrade.
What costs extra
- Class packs and promo codes Pro and Premium
- Online classes on Google Meet or Zoom Pro and Premium
- The ID verified badge, 10 photos and a profile without ads Pro and Premium
- A video library to sell recordings Pro and Premium
- Memberships, retreats paid in 2 to 6 installments, and a booking widget for your own website Premium
- WhatsApp and text reminders in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand Prepaid add-on
Studios can open a free account too. The instructor roster, room scheduling and room rentals are studio tools. The pricing page shows what each studio plan includes.
How clients book
They find you
Clients open the profile or class link you share, or find you in the MoveMentors directory. There's no app to download.
They pick a session
They choose a date and book as a guest or with an account. Parents can book for their children from one account.
They pay
A card payment holds the seat for 30 minutes and confirms the booking once it goes through. Cash, bank transfer and free bookings are confirmed straight away.
They get reminders
Clients get a confirmation email and a reminder before class, and can cancel or reschedule within your policy.
When a paid plan pays for itself
Stay on the free plan for as long as it covers what you do. Move up when one of these starts to sound familiar.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Pilates instructor use MoveMentors for free?
Yes. The free plan has no end date and no booking commission. You get a public profile, 1 class per week with capacity limits, waitlists, private sessions and card or cash payments. Free profiles show ads.
Are class packs included in the free plan?
No. Class packs and promo codes need Pro, at $9.99 a month or $99 a year. On the free plan, clients pay per class.
Can a small Pilates studio start free?
Yes. Studios can open a free account and take bookings. The pricing page shows which studio tools, such as the instructor roster and room rentals, come with each plan. Studio Pro is $49 a month.
Does each booking cost me anything?
There's no commission on any booking. When a client pays by card, Stripe's processing fee comes out of that payment. Cash, bank transfer and free bookings cost you nothing.
Do my clients need an app or an account?
No. Clients book in the browser and can check out as a guest. Anyone who wants an account can make one to keep their bookings in one place.
What MoveMentors does not do
Better to know before you set up than after.
- No no-show fees. Late cancellations follow the class refund policy, and nothing extra is charged.
- No automatic cancellation when a class is under-booked. You decide, and you cancel it yourself.
- No unlisted or invite-only classes. Every published class shows on your public profile.
- No level filter in the directory yet. You can set a level on each class, and it shows on the class page.
- No iOS or Android app. Clients book in the browser and can add MoveMentors to their home screen.
- No payroll. Studios pay their instructors outside MoveMentors.
- Studio accounts do not sell class packs or memberships yet. Those are part of teacher plans.
