WorkshopFolio vs Punchpass
Punchpass is a well-regarded tool for fitness and wellness studios. Here's how it compares to WorkshopFolio for an independent instructor.
The key difference: subscription vs. pay-per-class
Punchpass starts at $59/month — a reasonable price, but a monthly commitment before you know if online booking works for your students. WorkshopFolio starts at $10 per session with no subscription. For a new or occasional instructor, that's a meaningful difference in risk.
Where Punchpass excels
Punchpass is beloved in the fitness and wellness community for its simplicity, class-pass system, and 4.9/5 customer service rating. If you run a yoga or fitness studio and class passes are your primary product, Punchpass is worth serious consideration.
Where WorkshopFolio differs
WorkshopFolio is built for any instructor type — pottery, photography, cooking, music, and more — not just fitness. And the $10/session Starter plan means you don't pay a subscription until you're sure you need one.
Which should you choose?
Choose Punchpass if you run a fitness or wellness studio where class passes are central, and you're comfortable with a monthly fee from day one. Choose WorkshopFolio if you want to start without a subscription, teach a non-fitness class type, or need deposits, waivers, and re-marketing tools built in.
