Arketa vs OfferingTree: Why OfferingTree is the #1 rated studio software
OfferingTree is the user-friendly Arketa alternative that offers fair and transparent pricing and adds no transaction fees on most plans. Plus, you’re backed by a team that truly cares about your success.

What sets OfferingTree apart from Arketa
What are Arketa's pricing and fees vs OfferingTree?
Every Arketa Individual plan charges a 3% transaction fee on top of Stripe’s standard processing (2.9% + $0.30 in the US). Arketa’s own pricing page confirms it, and studio customers are told to discuss fee options with their Account Executive.
OfferingTree works differently. Our Pro and Pro Plus individual plans and every studio plan charge 0% in additional transaction fees. You pay standard payment processing and nothing extra to us. Only our lowest-priced Essentials plan carries a transaction fee, and we say so right on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions about OfferingTree vs Arketa
Which platform is better for hybrid in-person and virtual classes?
Both support hybrid scheduling. Arketa puts particular emphasis on virtual and on-demand workflows. OfferingTree includes an unlimited on-demand video library on every plan, plus Zoom integration, livestream-friendly scheduling, and a built-in website to sell it all from one place.
Does Arketa publish pricing for studios?
No. Arketa publishes Individual plan pricing but lists studio plans as “Let’s talk,” which means booking a demo to get a quote. OfferingTree publishes complete pricing for both individual and studio plans, including what’s in each tier.
Does Arketa charge transaction fees?
Yes. Per Arketa’s pricing page, every Individual plan carries a 3% transaction fee in addition to Stripe’s standard processing. Studio customers discuss fee options with an Account Executive. OfferingTree charges 0% additional transaction fees on Pro, Pro Plus, and all studio plans; you pay only standard payment processing.
How much does Arketa cost compared to OfferingTree?
Arketa’s Individual plans run $49 to $124 per month billed annually, plus a 3% transaction fee on top of Stripe’s processing. Arketa’s studio plans are quote based, so you’ll need a sales call to learn the price. OfferingTree publishes every tier: individual plans from $26 per month and studio plans from $100 to $225 per month, all billed annually, with 0% additional transaction fees on studio plans.
Should I choose OfferingTree or Arketa?
Choose OfferingTree if you want published pricing on every tier, no additional transaction fees as you grow, and a migration team that does the heavy lifting with you. Choose Arketa if a custom branded app is non-negotiable from day one and your business is heavily virtual.

How does OfferingTree help my studio grow?
We give you the tools to turn first-timers into regulars and keep your classes full. That means marketing automations, reminder texts, guest passes, intro offers, waitlists, lead tracking, and retention campaigns, all built into one platform. There’s a lot more under the hood, so book a demo if you want the full tour.
Do You Have a Mobile App?
We have two options. Our free client app and our paid white label app. The client app makes it easy for your community to stay in touch with you, book and pay for classes anytime, and access your services on the go.
The white-label app is an add-on feature customized just for your business. While the client app allows users to book with any business on our platform, the white-label app is genuinely yours. We build it exclusively around your brand, so when clients open it up, there are no additional steps to access your services.
How do I switch without disrupting my business?
You don’t have to figure it out alone. After you sign up, you’ll work with a dedicated account manager to map out your migration. We help with memberships, packages, credit cards, client data, all of it. We’ve done this hundreds of times with nearly every provider out there. Most migrations take one day to four weeks depending on how quickly we can pull data from your current software. And you can meet with our team as many times as you need before going live.
How Long Does It Take to Get Up and Running?
Our support team provides complementary 1:1 onboarding and setup assistance. We operate on your timeline, so whenever you’re ready to dig in, we’re ready to guide you through at your own pace.
Will OfferingTree work for a studio my size?
If you’re a solo business owner or independent studio owner with one to five locations, yes. We work with brand-new studios and established businesses alike, and the platform grows with you as your goals change.
