Comparison

Pike13 vs Class Booking — A side-by-side (2026)

Pike13 builds a clean, focused class-booking product out of Seattle. Class Booking is engineered in Copenhagen with native multi-currency, EU data residency and a deeper operations layer. This is the specific side-by-side — pricing, posture, features.

Updated April 2026. Pike13 figures based on their public pricing page and product documentation.

Who Pike13 fits

Pike13 has shipped since 2013 to a steady base of US studios — yoga, Pilates, martial arts, swim and music schools. The product is deliberately uncluttered. If your needs are straightforward and you are based in the US, that focus is a feature.

Pike13 fits you if you bill in USD, your members are in North America, and your operation is drop-in classes plus one or two recurring memberships. Support has a solid reputation, the interface stays out of your way.

Where Class Booking fits

The differences show up at the edges. Pike13 is built around USD billing and US data residency. Operate in Europe and friction starts the moment you need EUR or GBP pricing, MobilePay, or EU-hosted member data under GDPR. None of these is a single deal-breaker — together they add up.

Class Booking is built the other way. EU-hosted, GDPR-native, multi-currency from day one, Stripe-EU and MobilePay wired in. A deeper feature set ships on the same plan: native season courses, an instructor portal with payroll exports, late-cancellation penalties, gift cards, and a treatment-booking module for 1:1 sessions.

Pike13 can do some of this with workarounds. Class Booking makes it native — that is what our customers asked for.

Side-by-side

Pike13 figures from their public pricing page and product documentation. Specifics may vary by plan.

Pricing

Pike13 publishes its prices. The lowest tier starts around USD 129/month and scales by client count and feature access. No setup fee on the entry plan.

Class Booking starts at €15 / £12 / $19/month and goes to €110 / £89 / $119/month for the largest plan. Every feature ships on every plan — what changes is the size of your studio. No setup fees, no per-seat charges, no surprise add-ons.

The plans are not identical, so one-to-one comparison is imprecise. At most realistic studio sizes Class Booking is meaningfully cheaper — and you can read the price list before a demo.
