Starter
Run the studio.
$149/ month
Booking and the calendar, the live floor, clients, gear, invoices, and getting paid. Unlimited rooms, sessions, and seats.
Run the room,
not the spreadsheet.
Every room, every session, every invoice — one place that knows what your studio is doing right now.
Private beta · no card required
Built by an assistant engineer who ran the floor at Sessions Atlanta.

One booking,
from the call to the bank.
Most studios run it across three disconnected systems: bookings live in text threads, session notes live on paper, and invoices get written from memory.
01
Book it
Every room and rate on one calendar. Two sessions can never share a room — but double-booking an engineer is your call to make, not the software’s.
02
Run it
The floor reads at a glance from anywhere in the building, and each session offers the one thing to do next.
03
Bill it
Send from the session while the night is still in your head — against the hours that were worked, not the ones that were booked.
Every room, every rate, one calendar.
A booking locks in its room rate the moment it is made. The grid is the same one your engineers open on the desk.
It fits in a hallway.
The same studio, on the phone in your pocket — the day, the session that is running, and the invoice that comes out of it.

Morning at the top, a line across whatever is running now.

The session
Tap a booking and it comes up over the day — where it stands, and the one thing to do.
The invoice
Work still to bill and every invoice already sent, in one list that says where each one stands.
Six hours worked against a four-hour booking.
The two nobody would have remembered by morning are on the record, because the room knew about them.

Two plans. The second one is for studios with staff.
One price per studio, however many rooms you run and however many people you bring in.

Run the team.
$299/ month
Everything in Starter, plus the staff rota, your team’s hours in one timesheet, a client portal, financials, and the audit log.
We make our money on the software, not on your money.
- Card
- 2.9% + 30¢
- exactly what Stripe charges — we add nothing
- Bank transfer
- 1%
- never more than $100
- Cash, check, Zelle
- Free
- you collected it, so we take nothing
Your client pays the invoice total, exactly as written — we never add a surcharge at checkout. The fee comes out before the money reaches you, and every payment shows what was taken and what you netted.
Questions studio owners actually ask.
What happens to my existing bookings
There is no automatic import yet. Most studios enter the next few weeks of sessions by hand and start fresh from there, which usually takes under an hour. Anything further out can stay on your old calendar until it comes up.
When does the money hit my account
You do not need your own Stripe account. StudioSide sets up your payments account inside the app — you add a bank account and the identity details the law requires, and that is the last you see of it. Your first payout lands about a week after your first paid invoice, while the account finishes verifying. After that Stripe pays out on whatever schedule your account is set to — for most US studios that is daily, with money from a card payment reaching the bank about two business days later. StudioSide charges 2.9% + 30¢ on card payments — exactly what Stripe charges, with nothing added — and 1%, capped at $100 on bank transfers. If you collect cash, card, or transfer yourself, you record it on the invoice and no fee applies.
What if a session runs long
The session keeps running and records what actually happened, not what was booked. Overtime shows on the invoice against the booked hours, so you can bill it or waive it deliberately. A session left running well past its end gets flagged so it does not quietly run all night.
Do my clients need an account
No. Invoices arrive by email and can be paid from a link with no login. There is a client portal for studios that want clients checking their own sessions and history — it starts on, and you can switch it off in Settings.
Can my runner use this on a phone
Yes. The Floor, the day schedule, and clocking in and out are all built for a phone first. A runner or assistant sees the rooms and their own shifts, and the money — invoices, payments, and the financial pages — stays closed to them.
