About

Writing invoices, chasing payments, rescheduling via countless emails, bookkeeping with spreadsheets, juggling multiple platforms...forget that! Fons turns hours of admin work into a few taps of an app. So you can focus on teaching, free up your time, and keep your sanity while getting paid predictably. Leave the old "invoice and pray" method in the dust. With automatic billing you get paid on time, every time, while saving time. Use one billing option or all of them! Make your booking process a breeze with personal booking links, manual scheduling features, and recurring appointments you can set and forget. (Don't actually forget them, though!) Fons gives you the tools to run your business like a pro & make a better living while retaining your soul and sanity. Your Fons membership comes with a free listing in the Marketplace, helping you get found when customers search online for businesses like yours.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I use Fons for my consulting business and the app saves me about 10 hours a week in administration time. I am so excited about this platform I tell everyone I know about it. Truly the rising star of the automated scheduling and invoicing space. Love it!

Cons

  • There isn't anything I don't like about Fons. They are constantly striving to make their customers happy, the customer service is the best I have seen and they listen to feedback and make adjustments when needed.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Mindbody has some really great features. You can track attendance, connect to external apps for booking, track revenue, link to emails, marketing and other campaigns. These are all great features. Setting pricing is seamless and allowing for clients to book in and sign up for memberships using that pricing is also seamless.
  • I wish the app had way more features. Most functions are only accessible through a desktop computer, which is fairly impractical.
  • Can be used for daily business in the fitness industry. Available in both desktop web and app so that we can have multiple admin accesses.
  • MINDBODY is a business management software. Online scheduling and booking options are available. Advanced reporting system. Track our sales and progress. Easily accessible. Easy to navigate and understand. Amazing customer support. Seamless to take payments and schedule employees. Pretty well integration.
  • Such a waste of software resources. It's very outdated and is hard to use and set up no matter your business.

Cons

  • Because the system is built for so many styles of fitness businesses it offers too many options. The system can be heavy for a small fitness studio. It would be better if the system came pre setup with ideal functionality for your studio.
  • I wish the app was more similar to the desktop site, and had more features.
  • Not easy to reset password, can have bugs at times.
  • Pretty good software. Easy to setup. No dislikes till now.
  • I dislike this software because it's so cookie cutter.
