Billing

If I cancel, what happens to my bill?

You cancel yourself under Settings → Billing. Future charges stop, your studio keeps working to the end of the period you have already paid for, and until then you can resume at no extra cost. What cancelling does, in detail

Is texting included, and what is this $15 charge?

Texting is included up to an allowance. Every billed location gets 2,500 free SMS units each billing period. When they run out, LoopSpark buys 1,000 more units for $15, charges the card on file, and your texts keep going out — and if you are a long way over, it buys as many bundles as that takes. You cannot buy a bundle yourself and you cannot turn the automatic buying off. Free units do not roll over; paid units do. Texts your clients send you are free. Check Settings → Studio Usage to see where you are. How SMS units and bundles work

What do the add-ons cost, and do I need them?

Two add-ons cost extra: Forms & Waivers at $45 a month, and Zapier at $10 a month. Each is one charge for your account, however many locations you bill. Neither has a free trial — each bills as soon as you switch it on, including during your 30 days. You can switch either off at any time. Most studios run LoopSpark without either one.

What if I want you to build it for me?

Two paid packages: 6 more hours of one-to-one calls with an onboarding specialist for $599, used within 3 months, or a fully custom setup where LoopSpark builds your automations for you for $1,299, over about 3 to 4 weeks. Email support to start either one. What onboarding and paid help include

When does my 30 days start, and when am I charged first?

A card is required at signup. Your 30-day free trial is counted from the day your studio is created, and your first invoice comes when it ends. Add-ons and SMS bundles are charged when they happen, which can be during the trial.

Do I need a booking platform you support — which ones?

Yes, and it is required. LoopSpark works with Mindbody, fitDEGREE, Pike13 and Mariana Tek. LoopSpark gets all of its client data from your booking platform, so until it is connected there is nothing to segment and no automation can run. Connect your booking platform

Is there a contract?

No annual contract. You pay month to month, and you cancel yourself under Settings → Billing. Your studio keeps working to the end of the period you have already paid for.

I have two studios — what do I pay?

$189 a month for each location you bill. Each location is billed separately, and each billed location gets its own 2,500 free SMS units each billing period. There is no multi-location discount. You run all of them from one login.
