Wayfield vs. Momence
Both run classes and take payments — but they're built for different businesses. The short version: Momence is an all-in-one platform for fitness & wellness studios; Wayfield is focused software for creative-workshop educators, with pricing you can actually read.
Side by side
| Momence | Wayfield | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Fitness & wellness studios — yoga, pilates, cycling, gyms — with memberships, scheduling, and POS | Creative-education workshops — art, craft, music, writing, cooking — and the people who teach them |
| Pricing transparency | Not published — quote/demo-based ("pricing that fits") | Published, tiered plans with a take-rate that drops as you grow — as low as 2% on higher plans |
| Platform fees | A platform fee layered on top of card processing on lower tiers; reportedly removed only on the top tier | One subscription plus a transparent, tiered take-rate — no surprise per-booking surcharge |
| Scope | A broad studio suite (memberships, payroll, POS, marketing) — powerful, but a lot to run | Focused on running great workshops — lighter to set up and operate |
| Branding | Branded booking pages and app | Your logo, colors, and banner on your own organizer page — with an optional custom domain (white-label) on paid plans |
| In-the-field / mobile | Studio-oriented apps for staff and clients | Native app built for teaching anywhere: check-in, Apple Watch, widgets, offline rosters |
Where Momence is a good fit
- You run a physical fitness or wellness studio and need the full suite — memberships, recurring billing, staff payroll, point-of-sale, and marketing in one place.
- Your model is high-volume recurring classes with members, not discrete workshops.
- You're willing to invest the time to run a large, feature-rich platform.
Where Wayfield is different
- Pricing you can read before you commit. Momence doesn't publish its pricing — you request a quote. Wayfield's plans and tiered take-rate are public, so you know the cost before you sign up.
- Focused, not sprawling. Wayfield does one thing — help you run excellent creative workshops — rather than asking you to configure a full studio-management suite you may not need.
- Made for teaching anywhere. A native app with check-in, Apple Watch, widgets, and offline rosters — for a studio, a park, a kitchen, or online — not just a front desk.
Teach workshops, not run a studio
If you're a maker or educator — not a bricks-and-mortar studio — Wayfield is lighter to run and priced in the open.

Momence does not publish pricing on its site — it directs prospects to a demo/quote (“pricing that fits”): momence.com/pricing. Plan and platform-fee figures referenced here are from third-party reviews (not Momence's own pages) reporting Free / Pro (~$60/mo) / Custom (~$199/mo) tiers with a platform fee on lower tiers layered on top of card processing, removed only on the top tier — treat these as indicative and confirm current terms directly with Momence. Wayfield's take-rate is tiered by plan.
