studioPilot vs Rezerv
Two modern, Singapore-built platforms. Different bets.
Rezerv is a genuinely good, Singapore-built platform with zero transaction fees, WhatsApp marketing and support owners rave about. This is the fairest fight on the board. Here’s the honest split.
The honest version
Rezerv and studioPilot are both modern and Singapore-native — the fairest fight on the board. Rezerv leads on transaction fees and WhatsApp; studioPilot leads on all-inclusive flat pricing (no feature caps), operational depth, and true custom-domain branding.

Straight down the middle
Where they win — and why studios still move.
We’re not going to pretend it’s all one-sided.
Where Rezerv genuinely wins
- Zero platform transaction fees — a real, ongoing saving
- Native WhatsApp marketing (we do email today, with WhatsApp on the roadmap)
- Fast, highly-praised support and quick onboarding
- A no-code branded website and app builder, with native local payments
- Unlimited locations and staff on its Team and Business tiers
Why studios move to us
No tiers, no feature caps
Rezerv’s lower tiers cap how many courses, forms, campaigns and emails you get. With studioPilot every feature is unlimited and included at one flat price — no working out which tier unlocks what.
Deeper day-to-day operations
Instructor payroll from attendance, per-location permissions with time-boxed delegation, credit rules with no-show enforcement, and waiver-gated booking are all built in.
Booking on your own domain
Full custom-domain branding with automatic SSL and an embeddable widget — your own URL, not a builder subdomain.
The bottom line
Rezerv is one of the best local options in Singapore right now — zero platform transaction fees (especially their 0% QR/Direct Pay options) and fast support are real advantages for many studios. If transaction cost per booking is your single biggest line item and you are happy with tiered limits, it is an excellent choice. We are the better fit when you want one predictable price with zero caps on courses, forms, staff or locations, plus deeper operational automation (real payroll from attendance, credit no-show enforcement, waiver gating, time-boxed delegation). Most studios switching from globals land on one of us two. Demo both.
