Features but no figures. The number you get depends on the conversation you have, not a page you can read.

Professional-grade tools, without the enterprise terms
A branded app, a real website integration and member engagement your studio can grow with. Transparent prices, monthly terms, and live in 2 weeks instead of months.
Before you switch on
Three things you have to accept before you start
Mariana Tek is capable software. The question for a studio that is still growing is not whether it works, it is what you have to commit before you find out.
You commit You find out
The commitment starts before you start using the software.
Term 02
A committed term
You commit to a long contract before you know how the software performs for you. That is a gamble taken with money that has not come in yet.
No lock-in, see plans
5 to 8 weeks
reported onboarding window
Term 03
Implementation is a project
Onboarding is reported as a specialist-led programme with training sessions, webinars and documentation. Sensible for a brand with an ops team. If you open in six weeks, it is your whole runway.
See your launch planThe short answer
Mariana Tek is built for established premium brands running many locations, and it is priced and implemented accordingly. Vibefam gives a boutique studio the same class of tools, a branded app, a real website integration and member engagement, with comprehensive software across operations and marketing, transparent prices, monthly terms, and a launch measured in weeks, not months.

Mariana Tek
★★★★★
"I was building this myself, with my own money. A $600-plus starting price and an annual contract was a real operational risk before I'd even opened my doors."
Myah, SYMONE Yoga
First-time founder. Texas, USA, opened 2026

Mariana Tek, OfferingTree
Why she ruled out Mariana Tek
- Quoted upwards of $600 a month, a heavy fixed cost before her first booking
- A committed contract term, which she calls the bigger dealbreaker
- Both were risks she could not take while bootstrapping a first studio
What she launched with
- Squarespace site with the Vibefam booking widget, so members book where they already are
- A custom branded app under SYMONE Yoga's own name and look
- In-app leaderboards, her favourite feature, turning attendance into a habit
"The leaderboard is my favourite part. It gives my members something to work toward, and it keeps them coming back."
On member engagement
"My success manager was with me every step of the way. My site and app were ready before I even needed them to be."
On launching
Myah found Vibefam online, looking for unfiltered opinions from owners who had actually run the software they were recommending. She did not have the luxury of trial and error on a first studio, and she did not need an enterprise contract to get professional-grade tools.

Vibefam is not for you if you need…
A franchise-scale rollout across many locations
Vibefam is built for boutique studios and multi-outlet operators. It is not built for franchise programmes that roll out through a dedicated implementation function with regional ops teams. If that is the shape of your business, that territory sits with Mariana Tek and not with us.
A long specialist configuration project
Vibefam is built to get you live in 2 weeks with a Studio Success Manager. It is not built as a multi-week engagement with specialists configuring bespoke reporting around your operation before you switch on. If your business needs that shape of project, that scope sits with Mariana Tek and not with us.
The support edge
Someone stays with you after you open
Not an implementation window that closes. A named Studio Success Manager from day one, direct chat, on-demand scheduled calls, and coverage across time zones.
Named Studio Success Manager
Paired with your studio from day one and still there after launch. Direct chat, on-demand scheduled calls, end-to-end setup.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Mariana Tek cost?
Mariana Tek does not publish prices. Its three plans, Core, Core + Growth and Full Growth Bundle, list features but show no figures, and each one ends in a "Book a demo" button. One data point from a real 2026 evaluation: a studio owner pricing it for a new single-location studio was quoted upwards of $600 per month. Your quote may differ. Vibefam publishes its tier prices on the pricing page.
Does Mariana Tek require a contract?
Generally, yes. Terms can vary by customer, so confirm your own. Vibefam runs on flexible monthly plans with no lock-in, and if you leave we hand over a full export of members, contacts, packages and memberships.
How long does Mariana Tek take to set up?
Onboarding is reported as a five to eight week implementation led by specialists, with in-person training, live online sessions, webinars and documentation. That is a sensible process for a multi-location brand with an operations team. If you are opening in six weeks, it is your entire runway. On Vibefam, your Studio Success Manager works backwards from your opening date so the website and branded app are tested before you need them.
Is Vibefam a good Mariana Tek alternative for a new or growing studio?
Yes. Vibefam is purpose-built for boutique fitness, yoga, Pilates, barre, dance and martial arts studios, with comprehensive software across operations and marketing on one platform, published pricing, monthly terms and a dedicated Studio Success Manager. It fits a first studio as readily as a growing group. Read what other studios say.
Can I keep my existing website?
Yes. Keep your Squarespace, Wix or WordPress site and embed the Vibefam booking widget, so members book where they already are. If you would rather start fresh, the Vibefam AI Website Builder generates a site connected to bookings, payments and memberships from a description of what you want.
Who owns Mariana Tek?
Mariana Tek is part of Xplor Technologies and operates inside the broader Xplor portfolio. Vibefam is independent and founder-led. For a deeper read on what operators say about the platform, see our analysis of Mariana Tek reviews on Reddit.
What is included in Vibefam Fast Migration?
Member records, contact details, packages and recurring memberships import directly from your current platform export. Class schedules are rebuilt fresh, which most studios treat as a chance to clear out classes that no longer earn their slot. Your Studio Success Manager runs the whole thing. See the full catalogue on the integrations page.
