Free while we build it—with you.
We’re in open beta. Every feature is free right now, and there will always be a generous free tier when paid plans arrive. Here’s how we’re thinking about pricing—openly, before anything changes.
For the next few months, everything on Student Body is free—including features that may later sit behind a paid plan.

Why there's no price here yet.
An honest note from Kelly & Luke, founders
We'd rather tell you the truth than show you a price we'd have to change later. Student Body is in open beta while we refine the product alongside the studios, instructors, and students using it every day.
During beta, everything is free—for students, instructors, and studios. That includes features that may eventually become part of a paid plan, because your feedback is helping us decide what belongs there.
When paid plans arrive, two things won't change: there will always be a genuinely useful free tier, and you'll know well in advance before anything changes. No surprise invoices. No quietly locking the doors you walked through during beta.
We think pricing should follow value—not precede it. Students will always be free. Instructors and studios will always have a genuinely useful free tier. And when we do charge, it'll be a simple flat plan—not a cut of your bookings. The only thing we're still learning is what that number should be.
What we're committing to
Four things that won't change.
A free tier, always
Every role will always have a genuinely useful free tier—not a locked demo. You'll never lose the ability to do the essentials for free.
No surprises.
Changes shouldn't come as a surprise. We'll communicate clearly, give plenty of notice, and nothing you rely on will disappear overnight.
Always free for students.
Discovering and booking classes through Student Body will always be free. When students pay for a class, they pay the instructor or studio—not Student Body.
No commission, ever
Running your business shouldn't become more expensive just because it's more successful. That's why we'll never take a percentage of your bookings.
The shape of what's coming
A free tier worth having.
The details are still evolving, but the principle isn't: every role gets a free tier that's useful on its own—not just a preview of a paid plan.

When you're ready for more.

We're treating this as a conversation, not a contract. Beta will help us decide where the line between free and paid belongs—and your feedback will be a big part of that.
How we'll get there
How we'll get there
Now — open beta
Everything, free
Two to three months of full access for every role while we shape the product together.
Before we charge
We'll show our work
No surprises. We'll share the plans, explain what stays free, and give plenty of notice before anything changes.
After launch
We'll earn it.
Paid plans should exist because they're genuinely valuable—not because the free tier is limited. Students stay free, and every paid feature should earn its place.
Questions
Pricing, plainly.
Is Student Body free right now?
Completely. We're in open beta, so every feature is free for everyone—students, instructors, and studios included. That also means you'll have access to features we expect to become part of future paid plans.
When will you start charging?
Not while we're in open beta. Before we introduce paid plans, we'll share the plans publicly, explain what stays free, and give everyone plenty of notice.
Will there always be a free tier?
Yes. Every role keeps a meaningful free tier. We want the free experience to stand on its own—not exist only to push people into a paid plan.
Will the features I use in beta get locked behind a paywall?
We won't quietly close the doors you walked through during beta. Some features may eventually become part of a paid plan, but we'll explain what changes, give plenty of notice, and make sure the free tier continues to stand on its own.
Do students pay to use Student Body?
Discovering classes, booking, and showing up are free for students—and we intend to keep it that way. Classes are always priced by the instructor or studio. When in-app payments arrive, we'll simply make paying for them easier.
What might become paid for instructors and studios?
We're still figuring that out—and beta is a big part of how we'll decide. Our principle is simple: the free tier should cover the essentials. Paid plans should be for people who want deeper tools to grow their practice or studio.
What's still on the way?
We're building in public, so new features will continue to arrive throughout beta. Next up are in-app payments, class packs, a student wallet, and more tools that make discovering, booking, and managing classes even easier.
Help us draw the lines
Tell us what you'd happily pay for — and what should stay free.
You're using Student Body before anyone's paid a cent, which makes your voice the loudest one in the room. Tell us what's worth it, and we'll build pricing that earns its keep.
