Pricing reality
What you actually pay
Apples-to-apples scenarios. ChronixHub figures are launch pricing locked for 24 months.
| Scenario | ChronixHub | WellnessLiving |
|---|---|---|
| Starter plan | $49/mo (10 staff) | $69/mo (Starter — 1 staff) |
| Mid-market plan (regular price) | $89/mo | $199/mo (Business)Save $110/mo |
| Pro plan (regular price) | $159/mo | $349/mo (BusinessPro)Save $190/mo |
| White-label client app | Web portal included (every tier) | Only on BusinessPro+ ($349/mo) |
WellnessLiving pricing reflects their public pricing page (Apr 2026). Headline promo prices ($39 / $69) are heavily marketed but are a recurring ~80% off promotion; regular rates are Business $199/mo and BusinessPro $349/mo. We anchor on the regular rates because that's what studios pay after the promo window. All ChronixHub prices reflect launch pricing (locked for 24 months). Standard rates: Starter $69, Growth $119, Business $219.
The trade-offs
Where each platform actually wins
Where ChronixHub wins
- Payroll runs (not just tracking) — calculates payouts against per-class fee snapshots
- Starter ships with 10 staff; WellnessLiving Starter is single-staff only
- Flat published pricing — no promo discount countdown
- Branded web portal at every tier vs. white-label app gated to BusinessPro+
- 30-day money-back guarantee — WellnessLiving doesn't advertise one
Where WellnessLiving wins
- Mature marketing suite — Email/SMS marketing, drip campaigns, lead management on Business+
- Native branded mobile app (Achieve) for clients, with white-label option on BusinessPro+
- Specific add-on tools — FitVID on-demand video, FitLIVE, FitBUILDER, CAASI AI front desk
- Free data migration advertised on every plan
- Established North-America-centric brand with mature integrations
The trade-off
If your growth depends on built-in drip-marketing campaigns and on-demand video you control, WellnessLiving's stack is broader. Most independent studios already run marketing in Mailchimp/Klaviyo and on-demand video in Vimeo — paying $199–$349/mo to bring those in-house rarely pencils out vs $89/mo for a tighter core.
What real customers say
Friction points WellnessLiving users actually hit
Verbatim quotes from public review sites.
“Your actual contract is not what you sign — its the terms and use located on their website.”
— Capterra — Krista M., Studio Owner
“They use one merchant processor that charges you with hidden fees such as annual fee, monthly PCI compliance, etc. without notifying your business.”
— Capterra — Devi R., Owner
“Excessive charges. Refused to turn off services and kept charging me and my members after business closed.”
— Capterra — Pamela D., Director
Who it's best for
Pick the one that fits your studio
ChronixHub is best for
Studios that want pricing they can budget against without a promo countdown, and a payroll system that runs payouts (not just tracks rates).
WellnessLiving is the trade-off if
Studios willing to budget the regular $199–$349/mo rate (after promo expires) and pay extra for the white-label app, in exchange for WellnessLiving's email/SMS marketing stack, drip campaigns, and FitVID on-demand video.
WellnessLiving's $39/mo headline is a promo on a $199/mo plan — and the white-label app only unlocks at $349. ChronixHub's $89/mo Growth has every feature, every tier, with no promo countdown and a payroll system that actually runs payouts.
