Tula Review

Tula runs three monthly tiers, $129, $199 and $299, and the higher you go, the lower your card-processing rate falls: from 3.9% plus 99 cents at the bottom to 2.9% plus 30 cents at the top. So how much Tula costs is a two-part sum, the plan plus the processing, and for a busy studio the processing rate can matter more than the subscription.

Tula is management software for yoga studios, built around class scheduling, members and payments. The unusual twist is that its plans buy you a better processing rate as well as more features, so a high-volume studio has a real reason to climb the tiers beyond the tools alone.

The Verdict in One Screen

Tula is a yoga-focused platform whose tiers cut your processing rate as they rise, which rewards higher-volume studios. It is built for yoga, not for gyms or coaches.

Two dates for the record. This review was first published 11 August 2026 and last checked on 12 August 2026. Each tier carries a different processing rate, so the plan and the fee move together, and the total depends on both.

What Tula Actually Is

Tula is studio software for the yoga business, organized around the class calendar, the member list and payments. It handles booking, memberships and billing, and its defining structural feature is that the plan you pick sets your card-processing rate. For a studio that runs a lot of transactions, that link between tier and fee is the whole calculation.

What the platform covers, per its feature listing:

• Class scheduling
• Member management
• Online payments
• Staff management

The tier-linked processing rate is the standout. Where most tools charge a flat processing fee regardless of plan, Tula drops yours as you climb, so a high-volume studio can save more on fees than the higher subscription costs. That makes the tier choice a genuine calculation rather than a feature checklist.

The Pricing: Plan Plus a Falling Processing Rate

Here is the structure.

The two-part cost is the thing to get right. A small studio processing little may sit happily on the $129 tier despite the higher fee; a busy one running thousands a month in class payments can save more on the lower 2.9% top-tier rate than the extra $170 of subscription costs. So how do you choose? Run your monthly card volume against each tier's rate, add the subscription, and pick the tier with the lowest total, not the lowest sticker. The free trial lets you test the flow before you commit.

Where Tula Falls Short

No platform is right for everyone, and Tula's edges are worth naming.

The entry processing rate is high. At 3.9% plus 99 cents, the bottom tier's per-transaction cost is steep, so a studio that stays on the entry plan pays dearly on every card sale.

The fit is yoga-first. Built for yoga studios, Tula aims its features past a gym, a martial arts school or an online coach.

The tiers are pricey to start. At $129 for the entry plan, Tula is not the cheapest way into studio software, so a tiny studio may find a lighter tool costs less overall.

And the feature set is focused. Built for yoga essentials, it is leaner on marketing automation and a rich branded app than a general studio suite.

Who Should Actually Buy It

Line it up and the fit is clear. Tula is a strong choice for a yoga studio with genuine class volume that wants to cut its processing rate by climbing tiers. For a busy studio, the lower top-tier rate can pay for the higher subscription, and the yoga focus fits the audience.

It is a weaker choice for a tiny studio that would pay the steep entry rate on few transactions, or for a non-yoga business. Those buyers should run the two-part math or look at a flatter-fee rival.

Our read: an unusual model where the plan buys a lower processing rate, rewarding volume, held back by a steep entry fee and a yoga-only fit. Run your card volume against each tier's rate, add the subscription, and pick the lowest total. Rated 7.6/10 on that balance of fee savings and entry cost.
