Why Reformer Studios Rethink Momence

A commission stack that grows with your revenue

On Momence's Free plan, the studio pays 5% and the client is charged an additional 4% service fee on every transaction, per Momence's official pricing page. On Pro ($60/mo), the platform fee is 2.5%. Only Custom ($199/mo) drops the platform fee to 0% — and every tier still pays standard card processing (3.9% + $0.30 online, US) on top.

Here's what Reformer studio owners should know about Momence's model:

Built for Reformer Studios, Not Generic Gyms

Momence was built for generic fitness businesses. NexiBook was built specifically for studios that run Reformer classes. Here's what that means in practice:

Equipment-Based Scheduling

Assign individual Reformer machines to time slots. Track which equipment is available, prevent double-bookings, and optimize machine utilization across your studio. Momence treats all services the same — it has no concept of equipment-level scheduling.

Group-to-Private Conversion Engine

Automatically identify clients who attend group Reformer classes and upsell them to private sessions. The system calculates the price difference, handles the credit adjustment, and tracks conversion rates. This is unique to NexiBook — Momence does not have this capability.

Instructor Commission Tracking

Track commissions per instructor, per session type. Set different rates for group vs private Reformer classes. Generate payout reports automatically. Momence does not offer built-in commission management — studios typically track this in spreadsheets.

StreamVault Video Monetization

Record your Reformer classes and sell them as on-demand video content. Build a revenue stream beyond in-studio sessions. StreamVault handles hosting, access control, and payment — included in your NexiBook plan at no extra cost.

Do the Math on Your Own Fee Stack

The More You Grow, the More Momence Takes

Below the $199/mo Custom tier, Momence's platform fee is a percentage of revenue — so it grows every month your studio grows. NexiBook Studio Pro's €99/month is flat at any revenue level, with 0% platform commission on every plan. Run your own numbers with the ROI calculator below.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Momence's platform fee actually work?

Momence has three tiers with different commission structures, per its official pricing page. Basic is free but charges 5% to the business plus a separate 4% service fee charged directly to the client on every transaction. Pro is $60/month with a 2.5% platform fee. Custom is $199/month with 0% platform fee. All tiers still pay standard card processing on top (3.9% + $0.30 online in the US). NexiBook Studio Pro is a flat €99/month with 0% platform commission on every tier — no fee stack to calculate.

What are the hidden fees on Momence?

Momence has multiple fee layers beyond the subscription. On the Free plan: 5% platform fee + 4% service fee charged directly to your clients. On Pro ($60/mo): 2.5% platform fee. On Custom ($199/mo): 0% platform fee but 3.9% + $0.30 payment processing applies on every tier. For a studio processing $10,000/month on the Pro plan, subscription + platform fee + processing add up to about $730/month — before any optional add-ons, whose individual prices Momence doesn't fully publish. NexiBook Studio Pro charges a flat €99/month with 0% platform commission and standard Stripe processing.

Does Momence support Reformer equipment scheduling?

No. Momence does not offer equipment-level booking. You cannot assign specific Reformer machines to time slots, track which machine a client is using, or monitor equipment utilization. For Reformer studios where machine scheduling is central to operations, this is a significant limitation. NexiBook was designed with equipment-based scheduling as a core feature — you can manage individual Reformer machines, prevent double-bookings at the equipment level, and optimize utilization rates.

How much can I save switching from Momence to NexiBook?

On $10,000/month revenue: Momence Pro costs approximately $730/month in total fees (subscription + platform fee + processing). NexiBook Studio Pro costs approximately $427/month (€99 subscription + Stripe processing). That's a saving of $3,600+ per year. Studios on Momence's Free plan with the 5% + 4% fee structure save even more — up to $6,000+ per year. Higher revenue studios see proportionally larger savings because NexiBook charges 0% platform commission.

Can I migrate from Momence to NexiBook? How long does it take?

Yes. NexiBook offers assisted migration from Momence. Export your client list, memberships, and schedules from Momence (CSV). Our team imports everything, configures equipment scheduling, sets up instructor commissions, and connects your Stripe account. The process takes 1-3 business days. You can run both platforms in parallel during transition, and NexiBook's 14-day free trial gives you full access to test before committing.

Does NexiBook have an annual contract like Momence?

No. NexiBook is month-to-month. Cancel anytime with no penalties, no exit fees, no hoops to jump through. Momence doesn't publish a SaaS contract length on its pricing page, so terms aren't something you can compare in advance. NexiBook believes retention should be earned by product quality, not enforced by contracts. If you stay, it's because NexiBook is working for your studio — not because you're locked in.
