Our verdict on Zipper
Zipper is management software for boutique fitness and wellness studios that need more than basic class calendars. It combines class and appointment scheduling, recurring series, capacity management, memberships, class packs, payments, waivers, check-in, CRM, marketing automation, reporting, and a branded client booking experience. Its resource-level booking supports bikes, reformers, mats, stations, or bays, making it a fit for studios where each booking must reserve a specific physical spot. It also supports instructor assignments, substitutions, availability, schedule overrides, and automated waitlists.
Pricing is structured around studio size and operating complexity. Starter costs $118 per month with annual billing and includes 1 admin seat, 2 instructor seats, unlimited clients, a 1% platform fee on payments, classes, appointments, events, and a branded client app. Studio costs $254 per month with annual billing, adding 3 admin seats, unlimited instructors, a 0% platform fee, a custom-branded website, and payroll and commission reporting. Growth costs $424 per month with annual billing and adds unlimited admin and instructor seats, a second location, cross-location booking and reporting, advanced reporting, and a 0% platform fee. Multi is designed for three or more locations or franchise systems, with volume pricing per location, roll-up reporting, permissions, dedicated support, SLA, and custom terms.
The strongest case for Zipper is operational depth: waitlists can handle promotion, payment, and notifications, while check-in supports kiosk-compatible and front-desk workflows. Reporting, exports, forecasting, and API access extend the system beyond scheduling. Integrations include Stripe, Google Calendar, ClassPass, and Quo. The branded client experience is web-based rather than a native marketplace app, and listed platform coverage is web and API. Studios wanting detailed resource booking and centralized operations should consider Zipper; smaller teams seeking a lower starting cost or broader platform coverage may prefer an alternative.
