WHAT THEY LEAVE TO ADD-ONS

Everything in one platform.

Other platforms leave door access, a branded member app and marketing to add-ons. Calisto includes it all.

  • Access Control: Included

    Mindbody relies on third-party access control integrations. Gymdesk has no access control at all. Calisto includes native smart lock integration, turnstile and door sensor monitoring through Signal, and digital key provisioning. Members get digital keys in Navigator that activate and expire with their membership status. Access rules by tier, time of day, and zone.

  • Marketing Automation: Included

    Mindbody leaves marketing to add-ons. Gymdesk has no marketing tools. Calisto gives you email, SMS, and WhatsApp campaigns, drip sequences for lead nurture, win-back automations, and a referral programme with tracking and payouts.

  • Member Portal: Included

    Mindbody's branded member app is an add-on. Gymdesk offers a basic web portal. Calisto Navigator gives every member a full self-service portal: class booking, rescheduling and waitlists, membership management, payment history, digital keys, messaging with staff, and document signing.

Choose your processor. Not theirs.

Mindbody forces you onto Mindbody Payments. Gymdesk supports Stripe only. Calisto connects to 73 payment gateways across 11 global regions. Your merchant account. Your rates. Zero lock-in.

Honest answers

Switching questions

Can I migrate my member data from Mindbody?

Yes. Calisto includes a guided migration wizard that imports member profiles, membership plans, payment methods, class history, and waivers. Most gyms complete migration in under a day. We have done hundreds of Mindbody migrations.

Can Calisto handle virtual classes?

Yes. Calisto Live provides native video conferencing for virtual and hybrid classes. Members join from Navigator with no Zoom subscription, no app download. In-person and virtual classes share the same calendar, and attendance syncs to member profiles.

How does pricing work?

Yes. Start for free with full access to all 57 products across all 8 suites. No credit card required, no time limit, and no feature restrictions. Core and Enterprise carry no additional cost. Commerce is a 1% revenue share. Every other suite is priced per app in the Marketplace.

Why do you charge a percentage of revenue?

Because it makes us partners, not a vendor. A flat subscription means your software company collects the same fee in your best month and your worst. A revenue share means we only grow when you grow. Slow month or off-season? Your bill scales down with you.
