Fitness-brand engagement software, $45K in 30 days: priced for studios

Helios helps fitness studios and franchises manage customer engagement through SMS, email, voice, booking, advertising, calls, and forms. Its $45K in the last 30 days is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Stripe), as of September 30, 2026.

What it actually sells

Helios is an engagement platform for fitness brands. Its features include lifecycle flows for welcoming new leads, following up with no-shows, and winning back lapsed members.

The platform brings booking software, paid ads, calls, and forms into customer profiles with opt-in status and source attribution. It also includes promotional messaging, real-time delivery and click reporting, branded email creation, and a unified inbox.

How it charges

Starter is $89/month for single-location studios and includes 1,000 message credits a month, SMS, email, voice, unlimited team members, unlimited contacts, and one phone number. Pro is $189/month for multi-location businesses and franchises, with 3,000 message credits a month and +$0.035 per additional credit.

Where customers come from

The site shows a direct mobile-app surface with the message “Never miss an opportunity.” It also says booking software can be connected in a click. These are the visible channel signals listed on the site.

What stands out

Helios combines lifecycle automation, customer profiles, promotional reporting, branded email creation, and a unified inbox. Most brands are fully live in under two weeks, according to the site.

The pricing page lists a 14 day money-back guarantee for Starter and says brands can save approximately 20 percent with annual billing.

Where it sits in the data

Helios's $45K in the last 30 days is higher than 98% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Customer Support” category (188 projects) it is higher than 98% (category median $274). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, the buyer is a fitness studio or franchise that needs to manage follow-up across SMS, email, voice, booking, advertising, calls, and forms. Distribution could come from integrations, a mobile app, and direct outreach to this focused business category.

The hard parts are connecting multiple data sources, handling opt-in and source attribution, supporting different locations, and delivering reliable messaging. Regulation, support load, and competition would need attention, but those are general build considerations rather than a claim about this business.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

The clearest product lesson is to package several customer-communication jobs into one operating surface. Helios combines lifecycle flows, unified customer context, promotional reporting, branded email creation, and a unified inbox for fitness brands.
