Reservie vs bsport for yoga & Pilates studios
Both platforms handle payments, class passes and waitlists. The real difference is how you’re priced, how much software you actually want, and who picks up the phone when you need help.

The short answer
reservie is a booking platform built by a yoga teacher for independent yoga, Pilates and wellness studios, with direct support from the person who builds it. bsport is an all-in-one boutique-fitness platform with a broad feature suite, sold through a demo-and-quote process.
Both handle the day-to-day essentials — memberships, class passes and waitlists — so the choice is rarely about a missing feature. It comes down to three things: how you like to be priced, how much software you actually want, and the kind of support you get.
Reservie vs bsport, feature by feature
| Feature | reservie | bsport |
|---|---|---|
| Automated waitlists | Included | Included |
| Membership & recurring payments | Included, via Stripe | Included |
| Class passes & credits | Included | Included |
| Branded client app | Per-studio branding; dedicated app pending app-store approval | Branded member app |
| Transparent published pricing | From £3 + 2%, up to a flat fee with 0% booking fees | Quote-based, via a demo/sales process |
| Software scope | Focused on the core booking jobs | All-in-one suite (AI front desk, payroll, marketing automation) |
| How you buy | Self-serve sign-up, or a walk-through with the founder | Book a demo and get a quote |
| Support model | Direct founder and developer access | Hands-on onboarding; dedicated support team |
| Built by a yoga teacher | Yes — by a teacher, for teachers | Boutique fitness platform (multi-modality) |
On the core features the two are level. Where they diverge is who they’re built for and how you’re treated after you sign up.
Do you actually need an all-in-one platform?
Most yoga and Pilates studios need the everyday jobs done reliably, and someone who answers when they don’t.
bsport is explicitly all-in-one — AI front desk, automated payroll, marketing automation, churn scoring. That breadth is genuinely useful if you need it. If you don’t, it’s complexity and cost you’re carrying for features you may never touch. reservie does the essential jobs properly — automated waitlists, membership payments, class passes, and a booking experience that carries your studio’s name — and not much you’ll never use.
The difference that doesn’t fit in a feature table
Any platform can list “waitlists” and “payments” on a chart. What you can’t put in a table is what happens at 9pm when a class won’t publish and 40 people expect to book in the morning.
With reservie, when you raise a support ticket, it’s almost always answered personally by the founder, the person who actually built the platform. Studios tell us that direct access is what they value most, and it’s carried reservie by word of mouth for eleven years.
“I highly recommend the reservie booking system. I have been using it since summer 2015 and found it very helpful. Darren provides an excellent support system and it has certainly made my life a lot easier!”
When bsport might be the better fit
I said I’d be honest, so here it is. bsport may suit you better if:
- You want a big all-in-one suite (payroll, marketing automation, AI tools) and staff to run it
- You prefer a guided demo-and-quote buying process
- You’re happy with a dedicated support team rather than talking to the founder directly
If that’s you, genuinely — go and take their call. But if you’re a solo or small studio owner who wants the core jobs done well, transparent pricing, and a human who knows your name, that’s exactly who reservie is built for.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Reservie and bsport?

Both handle payments, class passes and waitlists; the main differences are the pricing model, how much software you want, and the kind of support you receive.
Does Reservie handle automated waitlists and membership payments?
Yes. Reservie includes automated waitlist notifications, membership and recurring payments via Stripe, and class-pass tracking as standard. These are live features, not paid add-ons, so you don’t spend manual time chasing payments or managing waitlists.
Does Reservie offer a branded client app?
Yes. Reservie gives you a per-studio branded booking experience your clients can add to their phone, and a dedicated branded app is on the way, pending app-store approval. Your studio keeps its own name and identity.
Is Reservie cheaper than bsport?
Reservie uses transparent published pricing, starting at £3 + 2% per booking, with plans up to a flat monthly fee and 0% booking fees. bsport does not publish pricing and quotes per studio through a demo process, so a public like-for-like figure isn’t available.
