Vagaro alternative: flat pricing, no per-calendar fees

Vagaro is a popular booking platform, but its per-calendar pricing model adds up fast. Each instructor or staff member needs their own calendar, and the monthly bill grows with every new teacher you hire. Zenamu offers a Vagaro alternative with flat, transparent pricing: you pay one price regardless of how many instructors run classes or how many bookings you take.

For yoga, pilates, fitness, and dance studios with multiple teachers, the math matters. A 5-instructor studio on Vagaro pays for five separate calendars, while on Zenamu the same studio pays one flat rate. Add a genuine free plan that includes online payments, memberships, class passes, and unlimited clients, and Zenamu becomes the obvious choice for growing studios that don't want surprise bills.

Everything you need to run your studio or freelance practice

Beyond flat pricing, Zenamu gives you the tools studios actually need: embedded booking widgets on your own website, automatic cancellation policies that protect against no-shows, drop-in passes and recurring memberships, multi-instructor scheduling, and a fast, mobile-friendly booking experience for your clients. No marketplace fees, no per-transaction surprises, no calendar-based pricing creep, just a Vagaro alternative built for studios that want to grow without watching their software bill grow too.

Why choose Zenamu?

  • A permanent free plan, not just a trial
  • Flat pricing: add instructors at no extra cost, where Vagaro charges per calendar

  • Built for Europe, with 15+ languages and local payment methods like iDEAL, BLIK, and bank transfer
  • Classes, courses, workshops, memberships, and 1:1 booking, all in one place

Vagaro considerations

  • A consumer marketplace that can bring in new clients, which a flat booking tool does not
  • Transparent published pricing, with a low $30 entry and a 30-day trial
  • A deep all-in-one suite, including POS, payroll, and inventory, for beauty and wellness
  • Per-calendar pricing plus add-ons mean the total cost rises with team size
