Comparison

Hone vs. Setmore

Setmore is a free booking tool that gets clients onto your calendar. Hone is what you need once they arrive — a Pilates exercise library, session history, and class plans that actually account for who's in the room.

Hone

Hone is built from the ground up for Pilates and Lagree instructors. It gives every instructor a professional session tool: curated exercises with spring settings, a class plan builder, client contraindication tracking, and a session log that builds institutional knowledge over time.

Setmore

Setmore is a free online booking platform aimed at small service businesses — salons, tutors, and fitness instructors. It handles appointment scheduling, automated reminders, and basic payment processing. It has no exercise library, class programming, or instructor-specific features.

These tools solve different problems — most instructors use a booking tool alongside a teaching tool like Hone.

The verdict

Setmore's free plan is hard to argue with for basic scheduling. But getting clients on the calendar is only half the job. Hone covers that and the other half — knowing their injuries, planning the right class, and logging what happened so every session builds on the last.
