For Australian salons, beauty studios, day spas and wellness businesses that want Mindbody-level functionality without the four-figure monthly bill or 12-month onboarding.

Start free trialCompare the two

What comes across, and how

You do the import yourself, in this order. Nothing is switched on until you say so.

1

Your client list

Export your clients as a CSV, then upload it. You map the columns yourself — name, phone, email, notes — so a file laid out any way still lands correctly. Nothing is guessed.

2

Your services and prices

Same again: upload the list, map the columns, adjust durations and prices before anything is saved.

3

Your staff

Add the team and their roles. Small enough to do by hand for most businesses, and importable if it is not.

4

Your appointments

Upcoming bookings import too, matched to the clients, services and staff already brought across — which is why those three go first. Past appointments come in as completed history.

  • Nothing is emailed to your clients when a booking imports — no confirmation goes out for an appointment they made weeks ago somewhere else.
  • Imported future bookings DO get the normal reminders. Turn reminders off in your old system on the day you import, or a client gets told twice.
  • A booking that would double-book a staff member is skipped and listed for you, never written. If two systems disagree about a slot, you see it rather than discovering it when both clients arrive.

Be realistic

What does not come across

Worth knowing before you start, rather than after.

  • Past invoices and payment records. They stay in your old system, which you should keep read-only access to for your own records regardless.
  • Photos, files and message history attached to clients in the other platform.
  • Anything your old system will not export. We can only import what you can get out — if their export is thin, that is the ceiling.

A changeover that does not need a closed day

  1. Day 1Import clients, then services, then staff. Set your hours and booking rules. Nothing is live yet — your existing system keeps running exactly as it is.
  2. Day 1Import your upcoming appointments. Anything that clashes is reported rather than written, so you can settle it before it matters.
  3. Day 2Check the imported diary against your old one, and take a test booking end to end: confirmation, reminder, the customer view.
  4. Switch dayTurn reminders off in the old system, then point your booking link at Trimsy. New bookings land here from that moment.
  5. After thatCancel the old subscription once you are satisfied. Export a copy of your records first — you own that data and you should keep it.

Questions

What people ask before they move.

Is Trimsy a Mindbody alternative for yoga studios?

Trimsy covers class-style bookings (service packs, recurring slots, capacity per service) and walk-ins. It's a good fit for boutique yoga studios with a small handful of teachers. If you run a chain of large gyms with complex class waitlists, recurring billing and franchise reporting, Mindbody is still the dominant platform.

How much cheaper is Trimsy than Mindbody?

Mindbody's Australian pricing (checked September 2026) is A$89 a month per location for Go, A$279 for Core and A$369 for Growth, with unlimited users. Trimsy is $24.99 AUD a month with one staff member or $49.99 with three, plus $7 per extra seat. For a single-location studio with a handful of staff, that is roughly a third of Mindbody's entry plan — and room and resource booking, which Mindbody includes from Core, is something Trimsy does not do.

Can I migrate from Mindbody?

Yes. Mindbody exports clients, services, sales history and staff lists as CSVs. Trimsy imports the standard fields automatically. Recurring memberships and complex package balances often need manual reconciliation — happy to help during a free onboarding call.

Does Trimsy do membership/subscription billing like Mindbody?

Trimsy supports prepaid service packs ("10 classes for $X") and gift cards. It does not do true recurring auto-rebilling memberships, and there is no date for it — so plan around it not existing. If unlimited monthly auto-billed memberships are core to your business model, Mindbody is the safer choice.
