MassageBook vs. WellnessLiving: Why Massage Practices Choose Us
Finding software that actually suits massage practice workflows shouldn’t feel like forcing a square peg into a round hole. While both MassageBook and WellnessLiving can help, only MassageBook is built specifically with massage therapists in mind.
While WellnessLiving caters broadly to fitness, wellness, and beauty businesses, MassageBook's platform is the best choice for massage therapy professionals, from independent solo practitioners to growing multi-staff clinics. We’ll take care of your busywork—so you can focus on the bodywork.

MassageBook vs. WellnessLiving: How Do They Compare?
Built for Massage Therapists

On-the-Go Tools
Built for Massage Therapists
- MassageBook Built by massage therapists, for massage therapists
- WellnessLiving Serves more general fitness and wellness businesses
Having software that works for many types of businesses may seem like a bonus, but it also means that it’s not customized for your specific industry. WellnessLiving works with many types of businesses in the fitness, beauty, and wellness sectors, which means it comes with many tools unsuitable for massage businesses. It also means it might not include the specific features your massage practice needs.
MassageBook, on the other hand, was originally built by a massage therapist specifically for massage therapists. With our tools, you can practice confidently knowing that all of our features are tailored to support your business’s unique needs.

Price Point
- MassageBook Pricing starts at $20/month
- WellnessLiving Pricing starts at $69/month
Keeping costs down increases profitability. WellnessLiving’s plans start at $69/month and go up to $349/month, with enterprise-level plans requiring a custom quote. Its higher price reflects its extensive suite of gym and facility features, meaning that massage practices using WellnessLiving often pay a premium for features they don’t need.
On the other hand, MassageBook is much more affordable. Our plans start at $20/month, and can be discounted further if you’re an AMTA and ABMP member. Whether you’re just starting your massage practice or are running a large, multi-staff or multi-location business, our low pricing and powerful massage-focused capabilities make our solution a cost-effective choice.

Scheduling
- MassageBook System geared toward one-on-one or couples appointments
- Mindbody System geared toward group classes and general facility scheduling
WellnessLiving has a robust scheduling system, but because it is built primarily for gyms and yoga studios, its calendar is heavily geared toward managing group classes and overall facility capacity. When a massage practice tries to use this system, scheduling one-on-one appointments often feels clunky and overly complex. You may find yourself navigating settings designed to book dozens of people into a single room, creating unnecessary administrative friction.
MassageBook is built around the exact daily logistics of a massage clinic. Our scheduling tools are focused on one-on-one or couples appointments, factoring in service durations, staff member and room assignments, recovery time between sessions, and more. Furthermore, for multi-staff practices, MassageBook prevents frustrating scheduling errors by checking the availability of your staff, specific treatment rooms, and specialized equipment (like hot stone warmers) before a client can confirm their booking.

On-the-Go Tools
- MassageBook Mobile app that keeps you connected with your practice
- Mindbody Mobile app that focuses on large facility management
WellnessLiving provides a staff mobile app heavily focused on the daily operations of fitness centers and large wellness facilities. When you open their app, you are met with tools for tracking gym attendance, checking members into group fitness classes, and managing complex retail point-of-sale systems. For a massage therapist simply trying to check their next appointment or review a client file between sessions, navigating through this clutter can be frustrating and time-consuming.
MassageBook keeps you seamlessly connected to your practice with the MassageBook Manager app. It allows massage therapists who offer outcall or mobile massage bookings to
schedule appointments on the fly, quickly review intake forms, jot down SOAP notes, and process payments easily.
