Frequently asked questions
Is Kuee really cheaper than Mindbody?
For a single-location spa or clinic, Kuee Starter is $39/mo versus Mindbody Starter at $159/mo. The gap widens at higher tiers because Kuee includes all AI features at every plan, while Mindbody puts AI behind Ultimate ($499/mo) and Ultimate Plus ($699/mo).
Does Kuee have a customer-facing marketplace like Mindbody?
No. Mindbody operates a consumer-facing marketplace (the Mindbody app) that helps studios attract net-new clients. Kuee gives each store a branded online booking page and SEO-friendly profile, but does not aggregate customer demand the way Mindbody does. If incoming traffic from Mindbody is core to your business, that is a real reason to stay.
Can I migrate from Mindbody to Kuee?
Yes. Kuee imports clients, services, and packages from CSV. Appointment history can be backfilled by the Kuee onboarding team. Stripe Terminal payment data and Mindbody Processing data live in their own gateways and do not transfer between platforms.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract with Kuee?
No. Kuee bills monthly by default; you can cancel any month. The annual plan ($390/year on Starter, $690/year on Team) is a discount, not a lock-in.
How does Kuee handle class series and recurring memberships?
Kuee handles them through Packages — pre-paid credits a customer can spend on services over time. Recurring memberships are supported via Stripe subscriptions. Kuee does not have the same depth of class-series management as Mindbody, which has been refining that workflow for 24 years.
What about non-English staff or customers?
Kuee ships its full team-facing UI in English, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. The AI phone receptionist supports English and Chinese on the same line. Mindbody is primarily English with regional variants and does not offer in-app multilingual switching at the same depth.
Is the AI phone receptionist actually answering calls automatically?
Yes — Kuee uses Retell AI to answer inbound calls 24/7, recognize returning customers by phone number, check live calendar availability, and book appointments without staff involvement. Setup takes 10-15 minutes per store and the assistant is available on every Kuee plan.
