PranaRoot vs WellnessLiving
The WellnessLiving alternative for studios that want less software, not more
WellnessLiving is a broad, capable platform positioned as the everything-included answer for wellness businesses — rewards programs, review management, a consumer app, marketing automation. Breadth has a cost: a quote-based price, a sales process, and a system with more surface area than a class studio usually needs.
No card required · Cancel any time · 0% of your class revenue
Choose PranaRoot if
You teach classes, sell passes or memberships, and want software with a published price, no contract, and nothing taken out of what your students pay you.
Choose WellnessLiving if
Multi-service businesses — a studio plus a spa plus retail — that want loyalty programs, review management and marketing automation in one platform and have someone to administer it.

Why teachers switch
What PranaRoot does differently
No sales call to find out what it costs
Two plans, both listed, same features for a 20-student teacher and a 400-student studio. You can sign up, run the fourteen-day trial with full Premium access, and decide without ever speaking to anyone.
A product with the right amount of surface area
Classes, passes, memberships, attendance, payments, reminders, website. Not a rewards engine, a review-solicitation tool and a marketing suite that each need configuring before they earn anything. Fewer switches means fewer switches set wrong.
Your money goes to your Stripe account
You connect your own Stripe key; students pay you directly and payouts follow your own Stripe schedule. PranaRoot never becomes the merchant of record for your class revenue and takes 0% of it.
Cancel whenever you like
Monthly or annual, ending when you say so. No term agreement, no cancellation window to catch, and your data stays exportable as CSV the whole time.

- Built-in loyalty and rewards programs
- Its own consumer-facing app and directory
- Strong reporting depth for larger operations
WellnessLiving is the stronger choice for a multi-service business that wants loyalty, reviews and marketing automation under one roof. For a class-based studio, PranaRoot does the part you use every day for a published price with no contract.
