With Joul

What you get with Joul.

What Joul does today, topic by topic, including what isn’t built yet.

Pricing: Published: Studio £99, Studio+ £179, Multi £299 a month before VAT, plus £99 per extra location on Multi. Founding studios get 40% off for 12 months.
Choosing a specific bed or spot: Yes: clients pick their exact reformer on a top-down map of the room, or auto-assign picks their favourite. Beds in maintenance leave the map.
Client app: Built for iPhone and Android, with Studio mode for staff; heading to the App Store and Google Play. A studio-branded app is coming on Studio+ and Multi.
Marketplace of other studios: None, on purpose: clients book on your own site and app, with no other studios listed beside yours.
Studio website: A branded studio site on your own domain, included on every plan.
Online payments: Online payments are coming soon. Until then, clients pay at the studio as they do today, and your team adds their credits in a couple of clicks.
UK focus: UK-first: pounds, UK GDPR, VAT receipts and a monthly VAT report, support in UK hours.
Moving your data: Free assisted migration with a dry run first, and a full export of every table at any time.
Contract and fees: Monthly, cancel any time. No setup fee and no paid add-ons.

About Mindbody

We haven’t yet checked our notes on Mindbody against Mindbody’s own pages, so this page doesn’t describe what Mindbody offers. For that, see Mindbody’s website, or our draft side-by-side. mindbodyonline.com · Mindbody and Joul side by side (draft)

Moving

Moving from Mindbody.

Free assisted migration on every plan. We map your files and check a dry run with you before anything is saved, and your Mindbody account keeps running until you are happy.

Template: a best guess, checked in the dry run

Files to export from Mindbody

The client export
Client pricing options (“series”), with the sessions left
The visits report, for future bookings

Our import has a template for these files, built from public information. It is not yet confirmed against a real export, so we check every column with you in the dry run.

Clients sign in with their email and a one-time code, and find their credits and bookings waiting. Waivers are not imported: each client signs yours before their first booking with you.

The full switching checklist

When Joul is not the right fit yet

You need clients to pay online today: card payments and Direct Debit are still coming soon.
You want a marketplace to bring you new clients: we don’t run one.
You need your app in the App Store and Google Play this month: ours is built and on its way there.

Questions worth asking any provider

Can clients choose their exact reformer, and does a bed in maintenance leave the class?
What is the full monthly price with the app, website and marketing tools you need?
Is there a setup fee or a minimum contract?
Can you export all of your data, any time, without asking?
Who moves your clients, passes and future bookings over, and what does it cost?
When is support available in UK hours?

Other providers’ details are from their own websites, linked beside each statement. Products, prices and plans change: check each provider’s current terms before you decide. Product names belong to their owners; Joul is not affiliated with any of them.
