Bobclass vs Momoyoga

Momoyoga is a web-based booking platform built specifically for yoga studios. Bobclass is built for independent Pilates, yoga, fitness and personal training studios — with native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac, appointment scheduling for 1:1 sessions, WhatsApp and SMS messaging, and a calendar that shows you what you're actually doing.

In short: Bobclass Pro is €19.99/month including VAT; Momoyoga Standard is €39/month excluding VAT. Bobclass Studio is €34.99/month including VAT; Momoyoga Plus is €79/month excluding VAT. Momoyoga is web-only with email-only messaging and no 1:1 appointment scheduling. Bobclass runs natively on iPhone, iPad and Mac, supports WhatsApp and SMS, and handles both group classes and private sessions.

Your studio doesn't run from a desk

Momoyoga is a web application. To manage your classes, check attendance, respond to a client, or reschedule a session, you need to open a browser and sit down at a computer. Bobclass is a native app — on iPhone, iPad and Mac — which means you can do all of that while you're on the metro, between sessions, in the park, or five minutes before a class starts. You log in once and stay logged in. Push notifications come to your phone the moment something changes — a new booking, a cancellation, a message from a client. No browser tab required, ever.

And because Bobclass is a native iPad app, you can place a tablet at the entrance of your studio and let clients check themselves in — including walk-ins who aren't pre-booked. No front desk staff needed, no paper list, no clipboard. Momoyoga, being web-based, can't offer this kind of kiosk experience in any meaningful way.

For most independent studio owners, this isn't a small convenience. It's the difference between running your business and being chained to it.

A calendar that shows you what you're doing

Momoyoga's studio management interface is largely list-based. There's no real calendar view, and you can't filter by instructor — which becomes a problem the moment you have more than one person teaching. Adding a new class means entering a date, a time, and a duration from memory, without seeing the surrounding schedule. It's easy to double-book, schedule too close to another class, or simply lose track of what a day looks like.

Bobclass gives you a full calendar view with instructor filtering. Adding a class means tapping into a slot you can already see — the context is there, the gaps are obvious, and conflicts surface immediately. It's a small thing until you're doing it ten times a week.

Private yoga classes exist

Momoyoga is built around group classes, and it shows. There's no appointment scheduling for 1:1 sessions — a client looking to book a private yoga lesson has to select a "group class" as a workaround. It functions, technically, but it's not how the product is designed and it creates friction for both you and your client.

Bobclass handles group classes and individual appointments natively, as equal first-class features. Whether someone is booking into a Tuesday evening flow or a private session on Thursday morning, the experience is the same — clean, simple, and purpose-built.

Email is not how people communicate in 2025

Momoyoga communicates with clients exclusively via email. That was fine a decade ago. Today, most people check their WhatsApp before their inbox — and email open rates for last-minute changes are a gamble you'd rather not take. Bobclass supports WhatsApp, SMS and email, so you can reach clients through the channel they actually respond to.

And it goes beyond reminders. Send a quick additional check-in before a class. Wish a client happy birthday by WhatsApp — a small touch that builds real loyalty. Or let a waitlisted client know the moment a spot opens up: "A spot just opened up — want to join?" That kind of instant, personal communication isn't possible when you're limited to email.

On top of that, Momoyoga only lets you edit message templates on the Plus plan (€79/month excluding VAT). On all Bobclass plans — including the free one — you can customise every template to match your studio's voice.

One reminder, one time, chosen by someone else

Momoyoga sends automatic reminders one day before a class, at noon. That's it — hardcoded, not configurable. Whether your clients book a week in advance or the morning of, they get the same reminder at the same time. For evening classes that works fine. For a 7AM session, a reminder at noon the day before is less useful than one the evening before, or the morning of.

Bobclass lets you set two fully customisable reminders per event — timing, channel (WhatsApp, SMS or email), and message content. You decide what works for your clients and your schedule.

When Momoyoga might actually be the better choice

Momoyoga is built by people who clearly care about yoga and the communities around it. It's a solid product with a warm feel, and there are areas where it genuinely has the edge. It may be a better fit if:

  • You run an on-demand video studio — Momoyoga has a built-in video library with playlist support for prerecorded sessions. If your business model depends on on-demand content, that's a meaningful feature Bobclass doesn't offer.
  • You run retreats or multi-day events — Momoyoga supports multi-day event scheduling natively. Bobclass is focused on recurring classes and appointments, not extended programme formats.
  • You run a yoga-only studio and the community feel matters — Momoyoga is purpose-built for yoga, and that focus shows in the product philosophy. If you want software that feels like it was made by people who do yoga, not just people who build software, that has genuine value.

Bobclass is the better fit if you want to manage your studio from your phone, need 1:1 appointment scheduling alongside group classes, or want to reach clients via WhatsApp rather than hoping they check their email.

And while we serve multiple communities — yoga, fitness, dance, personal training — we do particularly well with Pilates studios. The combination of group classes and private appointments maps naturally to how Pilates studios operate, and the powerful scheduling and editing tools are especially well suited to Reformer Pilates, where session types, equipment availability and individual client progressions all need to be managed alongside each other.

Is Bobclass cheaper than Momoyoga?
Yes, on paid plans. Both offer a free tier. On paid plans, Bobclass Pro is €19.99/month including VAT — comparable in positioning to Momoyoga Standard at €39/month excluding VAT. At the next tier, Bobclass Studio is €34.99/month including VAT versus Momoyoga Plus at €79/month excluding VAT. Bobclass is consistently less expensive once VAT is accounted for, and includes features — like editable message templates — that Momoyoga reserves for higher plans.
Does Momoyoga have a native app for studio owners?
No. Momoyoga is web-based — studio owners manage everything through a browser on a computer. Bobclass is a native app for iOS, Android and Mac, meaning you can run your studio from your phone on the go. Both platforms offer a client-facing app for bookings.
Can I book 1:1 appointments through Momoyoga?
Not directly. Momoyoga is designed around group classes and has no dedicated appointment scheduling for 1:1 sessions. Clients looking to book a private yoga lesson have to select a "group class" as a workaround. Bobclass handles both group classes and individual appointments natively, as equal features.
Does Momoyoga support WhatsApp or SMS?
No. Momoyoga communicates with clients exclusively via email. Bobclass supports WhatsApp, SMS and email — letting you reach clients through the channels they actually read. Editable message templates are included on all Bobclass plans, including the free one; Momoyoga requires the Plus plan (€79/month excluding VAT) to customise templates.
Does Bobclass have a video library like Momoyoga?
No — and we'll be upfront about that. Momoyoga offers a video library for prerecorded sessions, including playlist functionality, which Bobclass does not currently offer. Momoyoga also supports multi-day events. If on-demand video content is central to your studio's offering, Momoyoga has a genuine edge there.
