Why BeNotely

Why businesses choose BeNotely over Mindbody

Three differences that show up in how your week actually runs, and you can see all of them for yourself in 30 days.

Australian dollars, not US

Mindbody bills in US dollars, so what you pay shifts with the exchange rate and never quite matches the number you budgeted. BeNotely is priced in Australian dollars with GST included, from an Australian company, and pays into your own Australian bank account.

Made for appointments

Mindbody grew up around classes, memberships and fitness timetables. BeNotely is built around one-to-one appointments: the calendar, buffer time, deposits, the waitlist and the client book all assume a chair, a room and a person.

Start free, and properly

There's a genuine free plan for one person: online bookings, your website and the AI booking assistant, with no card to begin and no sales call first.

Questions, answered

Getting started, pricing and the fair print, in plain words.

Why does being billed in Australian dollars matter?+

Because a bill in US dollars is a bill you can't predict. When the exchange rate moves, so does what leaves your account, and the number you budgeted at the start of the year isn't the number you pay in the middle of it. BeNotely is priced in Australian dollars with GST included, so what you see is what you pay.

I run treatments, not classes. Does that matter?+

It matters a lot. Software built around class timetables and memberships asks you to think in sessions and passes. BeNotely is built around appointments: each team member has their own calendar, services carry their own duration and buffer time, deposits attach per service, and the client book remembers each person's visits and rhythm.

What does BeNotely cost?+

There's a real free plan for one person: online bookings, your website and the AI assistant, no card required. Paid plans start at $29 AUD a month for one person taking bookings and from $69 for a team, GST included. Every new account starts with 30 days of everything switched on.

Can I bring my existing clients across?+

Yes. Adding a customer takes seconds per person and a name alone is enough to start a record, with the details following later. Your client book also fills itself as you go, because a record is created the first time anyone books. And nothing is ever locked in: your client book exports whenever you want it.

Can I try BeNotely before I decide?+

Yes, and without a card. Every new account starts with 30 days of everything switched on, so you can set it up properly, take real bookings and see how it fits your business before paying anything. There are no lock-in contracts and you can cancel any time. Every new account is also offered a free 15-minute setup call if you'd like a hand.

Does BeNotely charge commission on my bookings?+

Never. BeNotely takes 0% of your bookings on every plan. You pay a flat subscription, or nothing at all on the free plan, and when a customer pays a deposit that money is yours and lands in your own account. We earn from the subscription, never from a cut of your work.

Is BeNotely built for Australia?+

Yes. It's built in Melbourne, and it shows in the details: pricing in Australian dollars with GST included, text messages to Australian mobiles, support from people who know the local market, and your money paid into your own Australian bank account.
