Circl review
A mobile marketplace for finding providers and booking local or online sessions.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Circl is a mobile marketplace where customers find wellness professionals, review profiles and credentials, and book appointments or classes. It suits individuals seeking local or online sessions, as well as solo and small providers who want to list services and manage bookings. Its categories include health and fitness, mind and body, treatments, and hair and beauty; educational services such as private tutoring also appear, so the marketplace extends beyond wellness. Providers can offer one-to-one sessions, group classes, or packages, with prices set by the provider.
The booking workflow combines discovery, scheduling, and transactions: customers can save favorite providers and manage bookings, while providers can create service listings and manage calendars and clients. Sessions may be online or face to face. In-app payments and provider payouts support transactions, and provider-client chat and promotional codes add communication and promotion tools. These features make Circl a better fit for marketplace-style service booking than for organizations seeking an employer wellness platform.
The listed app is free to download, but appointments and other services may cost extra. Provider terms state an 8.5% commission, which may change with notice; there is no basis here to treat provider-set service prices as part of a fixed Circl subscription. Circl is available through iOS and Android apps, and email is the stated support channel. Individuals comparing providers and small practices that want mobile discovery and booking may find the model relevant. Businesses primarily seeking employer wellness programs, rather than customer-provider transactions, should look elsewhere.
