Why practices move
Stillpoint starts free and caps out far below Mindbody's $129+/month entry tier. right-sized for solo practitioners and small clinics.
HIPAA-compliant encrypted SOAP notes and intake forms are built in. Mindbody is fitness-first and doesn't handle clinical documentation.
No marketplace lock-in. Your booking page lives on your own branded subdomain or custom domain. not a Mindbody profile.
Onboarding that takes an afternoon, not weeks. Email reminders, customer reviews, and email automations are included, not sold separately as Marketing Suite add-ons.
