Eversports Manager is a web and mobile operations platform for yoga studios and other sports businesses. It brings scheduling, bookings, memberships, payments, and online classes into one service. Studios can embed a branded schedule where customers filter activities, book, and pay. Sold-out classes can use waitlists that notify customers when a place opens. Providers can sell passes, memberships, class packs, vouchers, discounts, and videos, as well as offer livestream, on-demand, and hybrid classes. A Zoom extension creates class links automatically. The listed plans run from 49.00 EUR to €229 a month with annual billing, excluding VAT; a one-time €99 setup fee and payment-provider transaction fees may also apply. First-time customers referred through the Eversports website or app incur a 25% booking referral fee, capped at €75 per person, which stops when they become regular customers. The company says it was founded in Vienna in 2013. Although listed for Android and iOS, there is no dedicated manager app; users can add the web manager to a phone home screen.
