Best cycling management software for spin and indoor cycling studios

All pricing and features from September 2026
‍

What does cycling studio software need to do that general fitness software doesn't?

‍

Cycling studio software is class-booking and business-management software that, beyond scheduling and payments, has to have four features for indoor cycling: reserving a specific bike or spot in the room, enforcing late-cancel and no-show fees, managing bookings from ClassPass, and connecting to (or staying out of the way of) the performance system riders see during the ride.

‍

What software do spin studios use most often?

​

Xplor Mariana Tek (marianatek.com) is the platform the multi-location rider brands run on. It supports pick-a-bike, has a branded app, has milestone automation, and focuses on gamification. Pricing is hidden behind a demo. Onboarding runs five to eight weeks per their own FAQ. If you're small to mid-sized, it's maybe more than you need. You can learn more in our Mariana Tek alternatives post.

​

Walla (hellowalla.com) is the modern boutique platform with a published price and bike booking included. Book-a-Spot is on its Core tier, $320 a month per location. Walla has an indoor cycling page and a mid-2026 pricing overhaul that our Walla vs Mindbody post walks through.

​

Mindbody (mindbodyonline.com) is the incumbent. Its pricing page says "Starting at $79 USD/month per location," but you need to book a demo to get any transparency on pricing. Client Pick-a-Spot sits on the Accelerate tier and up. What Mindbody has that nobody else here does is the consumer marketplace, but that costs you, too.

​

Arketa (arketa.com) publishes one price, $49 a month for a single-login Individual plan, and all studio plans require a demo. It has a Spin business-type page, but spot selection isn’t listed on their pricing page, so ask. Spot selection isn't listed on the pricing page, so ask. Our Arketa vs Walla post covers where each one lands for an established team.

​

bsport (pro.bsport.io) is European, and requries a quote for all pricing. Their cycling page talks about their AI spot-filling capabilities.

​

OfferingTree (offeringtree.com) publishes every tier's pricing. It includes a website and unlimited on-demand video, and has options for resource reservations.

‍

How much does spin studio software cost for a one-room studio?

‍

Depending on your needs, assuming you at least need the basic studio software, your pricing will range anywhere from around $80/month to something in the upper $600s depending on the software quotes you get from the demo-only products.

‍

If you can get away with one of the lower non-studio tiers, your price goes down substantially, especially with products like OfferingTree.

‍

Do you need separate software for bike leaderboards and performance tracking?

‍

Almost always yes.

‍

According to their websites, none of the software we listed above includes leaderboard features.

‍

Even the cycling specialist software, like Mariana Tek, states that they require partner integration from Forte, IPStudio, Tribe, or Intelivideo rather than having any native features.

‍

So what does that mean for you? Don’t rule out booking platforms because they don’t have this feature, know that these two software items will have to be picked separately.

​

If you want to sell recorded rides or a library of at-home classes, that's a third thing, and it does live in the booking software. OfferingTree includes unlimited on-demand video hosting on every plan.

‍

When is OfferingTree the right fit for a cycling studio, and when is it not?

‍

OfferingTree doesn't run a consumer marketplace. If a Mindbody-app discovery is a critical part of how new riders find you, we integrate with ClassPass but don’t have our own marketplace.

​

If you are a small to mid-sized cycling studio, we are a great fit. Especially if you have multiple modalities that you work with, we can accommodate those too. We have basic equipment-picking capabilities, automatic waitlists, late-cancel fees, class packs, memberships, a website that is included at every tier, and unlimited on-demand. We also have all of our pricing publicly available; no demo required.

​

On Studio Starter, our basic studio plan at $100/mo, you get up to three team members, the website builder, unlimited on-demand video, email marketing, late-cancel fee charging, and free onboarding with data migration. Studio Grow at $150/mo adds automatic late-cancel fees, room and resource management, and a dedicated account manager for up to six team members. Every Studio plan has a 0% platform transaction fee on top of standard processing. Everything is month-to-month if you want it to be.

​

Samantha, who built Yoga Strong in Greenville, NC, said this about pricing out the industry standard when her studio was a 700-square-foot room:

‍

"I didn't need all the things that [Mindbody] had to offer, and there was no lower tier."

‍

Swap in a 20-bike room and it's the same sentence. Most of the platforms above assume you're a brand. If you're a studio, there's a lower tier, and it's published.

If you'd rather watch than read, there's a recorded demo you can play between classes.

Cycling Management Software FAQ

‍

Does cycling studio software have spot selection?

‍

Some do, and it's almost always an upper tier subscription. Xplor Mariana Tek focuses on it. Walla includes Book-a-Spot on Core ($320/mo per location). Mindbody puts Client Pick-a-Spot on Accelerate, which is quote-only. bsport puts Choose Your Spot on its fourth tier. OfferingTree has functionality starting at Studio Grow, which is $150/mo.

​

Is Mariana Tek the only spin studio software with pick-a-bike?

‍

No. Walla, Mindbody (Accelerate and up), bsport (Elevate), and OfferingTree (Studio Grow) all offer bike or spot reservation on their own pricing pages.

​

How much does spin studio software cost?

‍

For a one-room studio with three instructors, the published range runs from $1,200 a year (OfferingTree Studio Starter) to $3,840 a year (Walla Core), before processing fees. Mariana Tek, bsport, Mindbody, and Arketa's studio tiers require a quote.

​

Do I need a branded app for my cycling studio?

‍

Not to start. A branded app matters when riders book weekly on their phones and you want your name on the icon instead of a marketplace's. OfferingTree's is a $100/month add-on plus $250 setup; Walla's is $149/month plus $500 or included on Pro; Mindbody lists it as an add-on on Accelerate and Ultimate; Mariana Tek bundles it into Core.

​

Can I livestream indoor cycling classes?

‍

Yes. Mariana Tek routes livestream to partners. OfferingTree integrates with Zoom for live classes and hosts unlimited on-demand video for recorded rides.

​

Can I run a cycling room and a yoga room on the same software?

‍

Yes, and it's the case OfferingTree fits best. We can have everything from any modalities you need, including your website and on-demand, under one software.
