How Floorwork compares.

Most dance studios do not leave their booking platform over a missing feature. They leave over three things that shape how their business feels to the people who pay for it. The first is whose domain the booking happens on. With Mindbody, WellnessLiving, and Glofox, students sign in and check out on a vendor domain, so the most commercial moment of the relationship carries someone else's brand. Floorwork keeps sign-in and booking on the studio's own domain, end to end.

The second is who owns the customer. On the incumbents, a student record is often a vendor account that follows the student across unrelated businesses, and the studio rents access to its own audience. Floorwork treats the student as the studio's customer, with data that belongs to the studio and exports cleanly. The studio is also the merchant of record through Stripe Connect, so payouts and the customer relationship sit with the studio rather than the platform.

The third is the surface itself. The incumbents bolt a booking widget or modal onto a template site sold as a separate product. Floorwork includes a bespoke website designed and built for the studio, with booking as inline page content rather than a popup. The table below compares all three platforms on these dimensions; the linked pages go deeper on each one.
