Trying to find out what some studio software costs is much harder than it should be. You may find answers when searching with AI, but then when you open the actual pricing page of a company like Momence, you can’t see the cost without booking a demo.

Arketa is somewhat similar. You can see its lowest entry-level tier, $49/month billed annually, but that pricing doesn’t work for everyone, and the other tiers require a demo to learn about their costs.

Most people won’t find the pricing they need without a call for either product. That makes comparing them difficult. We are here to help.

What does Momence actually cost per month?

Currently, Momence doesn’t price out their tiers to someone visiting its site unless you make an appointment for a demo. What it does publish, though, are its US card processing rates: 3.9% + $0.30 for online payments, 3.7% + $0.05 for in person charges, and 1.8% for ACH.

How much is Arketa per month?

Arketa only publishes one price without a demo: their $49/month Individual plan, which is billed annually and includes a 3% transaction fee on top of Stripe’s rate. At this individual tier, you get one login, one location, a CRM, scheduling, class packages, and an unlimited on-demand video library.

If you need anything else, like the marketing workflows or the AI features, you need to hop on a demo to learn more about the higher Studio tiers.

What are Arketa and Momence each built around?

Arketa has its roots in on-demand videos for solo teachers, which is why even its cheapest plan has unlimited video, which only a few other competitors have, like OfferingTree.

Momence, on the other hand, was built with in-person in mind. They provide support for event ticketing, workshops, retreats, a robust CRM, community posting, and room and equipment reservations. Momence has gone through some ownership changes as recently as 2026.

Can you try Arketa or Momence without a sales call?

You can try both Arketa and Momence through free trials. Arketa offers one you can access on its pricing page, and Momence offers a 14-day trial. This is a great way to get more insight into both platforms and see what might work best for your specific studio.

Is Arketa or Momence better for hybrid and virtual classes?

It depends on your exact situation, but overall Arketa is designed to focus on virtual and hybrid studios. Their unlimited on-demand library and livestream management tools, even on their lowest plan, mean they provide the most value for studios that will take advantage of those tools.

Momence also supports virtual classes, but their main focus is their in-person features.

What does Momence do that Arketa doesn’t?

As you might have gathered, Momence does well with larger in-person businesses. Room and resource reservations, ticketing and management for events/retreats, and other specialized features all really support bigger in-person operations. Arketa’s higher tiers also let you handle multiple locations, but it doesn’t have the depth in this area that Momence does.

What will you actually know before talking to sales?

	Arketa	Momence
Solo / one person	$49/mo billed annually + 3% transaction fee	No published tier
Studio, any size	Demo required to learn pricing	Demo or trial required to learn pricing
Published pricing	The $49 individual tier rate and 3% fee	US card processing rates (3.9% + $0.30 online)
Self-serve trial	Yes	Yes

Both Arketa and Momence hide some of their information behind their demo. Before considering either, make sure to get a few things confirmed and in writing: The cost of the tier that works best for your studio, and what platform fees will apply to you.

It is also always critical to learn about the cancellation policy and whether it is easy to transfer your data out of the system in the case that you need to make a quick shift.

Is OfferingTree a good fit if you’re choosing between Arketa and Momence?

So, which should you choose: Arketa or Momence?
