Swap, free substitute management for studios

A week of sub needs, one consolidated ask.

Your instructors request and cover. You choose who gets approved, and a week of absences arrives as one clear ask, not seven separate emails. Works alongside the sub tools in Mindbody or whatever you already use.

Get Swap free

Swap is free forever — every studio, every location. No card, no trial clock.

Read the story instead

Saturday morning. Your instructor cancels. Swap covers it in one tap. You see who offered. You approve. Schedules update. Student contacts stay private. And every Swap studio gets LedBy, free. Students follow your instructors, and rebook with you. Swap is free forever. getledby.com/swap.

Included free with Swap

Every instructor gets LedBy, on the house.

Every instructor on your roster gets a free LedBy account with Swap. It costs your studio nothing and helps your schedule fill itself.

  • Classes get promoted

    A live page and one-tap share for every class on your schedule.

  • Rooms fill sooner

    Students follow the class they loved and hear when spots open.

  • Better student experience

    Check-in, reminders and add-to-calendar, all in one link.

The economics

Fill classes without training customers to wait for discounts.

Filling a seat and keeping a customer are two different jobs. LedBy is built for the second one: turning the trust an instructor already has into repeat attendance at your own price.

Your price stays your price

Studio-hosted classes are booked on your own booking system at your listed price. LedBy does not mark them down and takes no cut of an ordinary studio-hosted booking.

Demand comes from people, not markdowns

Students follow an instructor, see everywhere that instructor teaches, and come back for them — so filling a room does not depend on last-minute discounting.

Rewards you configure

Points recognise the behavior you want more of — trying a sub, trying a new instructor, attending consistently, bringing a friend. You decide what a reward is worth, if you offer one at all.

How it works

From your studio page to a full room

Your instructors collect followers in class, then email and text them automatically every time a class is added, moved or has spots left.

Step 1

Create your studio page

Two fields and your logo. Your brand then rides along on every instructor profile, QR code and flyer your team puts out.

Step 2

Invite your instructors in one go

Paste your roster and send. Each instructor gets a branded page and a permanent link, no setup work for you.

Step 3

Instructors sign up followers in person

A QR code posted in the room lets students opt in to follow the instructor they just took class with, the relationship is theirs, and you see the aggregate growth.

Flip a toggle and reminders, schedule changes and spots-left alerts go out automatically by email and text. Messaging runs on LedBy Credits, so you only pay for what you send.

Two friends arriving at a studio together with mats, earning points for bringing a buddy

Every student who brings a buddy fills your room

Bringing a friend is worth points, and the friend who shows up earns their own. It is the cheapest growth a location has: your regulars filling the spots you were going to discount.

Sign up your instructors in one go

Paste your roster, hit send, and every instructor gets a Join The Team email with a Set Up Profile button.

Your logo on every profile

Studio-paid instructors carry your brand on their public page, QR codes and share cards.

See who is actually filling rooms

Compare profile views, followers and classes booked across your team, week over week.

Turn the studio floor into a following

Every instructor gets a printable QR code that takes students straight to their schedule.

Free to run. Premium apps are earned.

Swap is free forever — every studio, every location. Every instructor on your roster gets a free LedBy account with Swap. Premium apps unlock free with points, or 100 Pro Credits · 30 days per app, per location.

LedBy core — free

Your page, your schedule, your followers, sharing and calendar sync. No card, no trial clock, no expiry.

Premium apps — free with points

Verified teaching and attendance earn points — never a signup, a follow or a share. Spend them and an app turns on for 90 days. Points you earn never expire. Points are never bought, never transferable and have no cash value.

Short on points? 100 Pro Credits · 30 days

100 Pro Credits · 30 days per premium app, per instructor or per studio location. One price, no tiers, no bundles, no annual plan. Nothing renews on its own — when the 30 days end, it simply stops, and points still work later.

Branding — free

Your colors and logo across your page, QR and shares. Part of the free core, for everyone.

Students — booking Credits, no membership

Credits are a simpler way to pay for classes. Bigger packs cost less per Credit — 10 for $24, 25 for $57.50, 75 for $165, 150 for $312 — and the price you see is the price you pay. We match the studio's pricing: a class costs the Credits that match its confirmed price. Purchased Credits never expire; promotional Credits always show where they came from and when they end.

Messaging — pay only for what you send

Email and text run on one Pro Credit pool: $10 for 200, $20 for 500, $50 for 1,500. Paid Pro Credits never expire, and there is no separate credit to buy per message type.

Studio-hosted bookings — no LedBy cut

Classes hosted by a studio are booked on the studio's own system at the studio's own price. LedBy earns nothing on those bookings and never discounts them.

Swap — free forever

Substitute coverage for studios costs nothing, on every location, for every instructor, always.
