Momence Alternative for Fitness Studios
Exploring Momence alternatives? Compare FitJoy's AI agents vs Momence on pricing, contracts and features.
Momence was a well-liked Mindbody alternative until its acquisition by private equity in January 2025. Since then, studios report slower support and stricter contract terms. FitJoy is not a Momence replacement — it adds AI agents for lead capture, marketing, and reputation management on top of whatever booking system you use, including Momence if you want to stay on it.
