Blogilates alternative
Better Yoga vs Blogilates
Body by Blogilates is free to watch and cheap to subscribe to. If budget is the constraint, start there. The difference is what you are paying for when you do pay: a calendar you fill in, or a plan that fills itself in.
What Blogilates is good at
Cassey Ho built Blogilates on YouTube over more than a decade, and the app carries that inheritance: a large library of Pilates-style workouts organised by body part, free to use. That alone makes it one of the better-value entries in this whole category.
The premium tier — around $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year — is among the cheapest here, and it unlocks the structural parts: the calendar, the programmes and the multi-week journeys. So the model is inverted from most apps: the content is free and the organisation is what you buy.
The coaching style is warm, high-energy and unmistakably personal. Plenty of people practise consistently because of the person on screen rather than the programming, and that is a real mechanism, not a soft one.
The actual difference
Blogilates sells you a calendar. Better Yoga sells you the decision.
With the premium tier you get a schedule and programmes — a structure you then have to keep up with. It is a good structure, and like every fixed structure it was written before it met your Tuesday. Better Yoga has no calendar to keep up with, because the plan is generated each morning from a check-in. There is nothing to fall behind on.
The second difference is the practice itself. Blogilates is Pilates-style conditioning with a strong core and toning emphasis, delivered at pace. Better Yoga mixes yoga-derived mobility and slow flow with Pilates-derived core and glute work, plus stretching and breath-led wind-downs, and deliberately includes days that ask very little of you.
On price, Blogilates is cheaper and its free tier is real. If cost is the deciding factor, that settles it, and there is no shame in the free option being the right one.

Which one you should pick
Choose Blogilates if
- Budget is the deciding factor — the library is free
- You respond to a coach with a personality on camera
- Pilates-style toning and core work is what you want
- You like filling in a calendar and following a programme
- You already know Cassey Ho's workouts and enjoy them
Choose Better Yoga if
- Falling behind a calendar is what made you quit last time
- You want yoga and mobility alongside the core work
- You want gentle days built in rather than pushed through
- You want the day's session decided from how you feel
- You want rest scheduled rather than skipped
These are not competing religions. Plenty of people keep a big library for the days they want to browse and a daily plan for the days they do not.

Questions people ask
Is Better Yoga a good Blogilates alternative?
If the calendar is what you keep falling behind, yes — there is no schedule to fall behind here. If budget is the constraint, Blogilates has a genuinely free library and that is hard to argue with.
Is Blogilates free?
The workout library is free to use. The calendar, programmes and journeys sit behind a premium tier that is around $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year.
Which is better for core and abs?
Blogilates leans harder into core and toning work as its main event. Better Yoga includes core and glute work as part of a mixed week alongside mobility, stretching and rest.
Does Better Yoga have an instructor on camera?
Sessions are video-led but there is no named instructor to follow. If a coach's personality is what gets you on the mat, that is a real point in Blogilates' favour.
