Mindbody is built for
America. Trimly is built for you.
If you run a salon or spa in Uganda, Kenya, or Tanzania, Mindbody's pricing, payment methods, and always-online requirement make it a poor fit. Here's a straight comparison.
Built for your power situation
Load shedding and weak WiFi are realities in East Africa. Trimly's offline- first POS keeps your front desk running through outages.Mindbody requires a live internet connection for every transaction.
Priced for the East African market
Mindbody starts at $129/month — roughly UGX 470,000 — before onboarding fees. Trimly is priced in UGX with plans designed for single-location salons up to large multi-branch chains, with a 14-day free trial and no setup fee.
Mobile money at checkout, natively
MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money are how most clients pay in Uganda. Trimly supports them natively at checkout — including split payments. Mindbody has no mobile money integration for East African networks.
Up and running today, not in three weeks
Mindbody requires a paid onboarding process that can take weeks. Trimly is designed to be set up in an afternoon — create your account, provision your tablet, and start taking bookings the same day.
