Uscreen vs. Arketa
Uscreen vs. Arketa: The best Arketa alternative for video memberships
With Uscreen, you host your content, grow a community, and earn recurring revenue through branded web, mobile, and TV apps that carry your name. We’re a natural fit for fitness and wellness studios that have taken their training online. The same tools that run any membership, a Netflix-style catalog of your workouts, native live classes, community challenges, and apps members open daily, are what turn a class schedule into recurring revenue and members who keep coming back.
Arketa is studio management software. It is built around the front-desk side of a studio: booking, scheduling, and class management for in-person and virtual classes.
Both solve real problems. But once your studio lives online, and your members train from their phones and TVs more than your physical space, you have outgrown booking software. That is where Uscreen comes in.
What sets Uscreen apart from Arketa?
Arketa handles booking and scheduling primarily for wellness studios. Whereas, Uscreen handles everything a digital membership business needs. Be it video hosting, branded apps, community, live streaming, and marketing, we assist you throughout the process.
If your business lives online, Arketa isn't built for it. Uscreen is.

Built for digital fitness businesses, not just studio scheduling
Once your fitness business runs online, Uscreen is where you come to own your brand, your audience, and your revenue. Our fitness and wellness customers collectively generated over $100M in revenue in 2024. Here is the core of how they get there:
Native live classes
Go live from your admin area in a few clicks, with chat that keeps members in the room together. Studios that stream live at least once a week see 2.5x more revenue.
A community that keeps members subscribed
Members show up for each other, not just the workout, and that is what protects your recurring revenue. Our members with community stores see 2x less churn and 50% higher engagement.
Marketing and monetization built in
Recover abandoned checkouts, win back lapsed members, and stack income with subscription tiers, one-off classes, and pay-per-view events. Your win-back and cart-recovery automations run in the background, turning saved sales into recurring revenue.
A branded calendar that drives views
Schedule content drops and live classes so members always know what is next.

Uscreen covers your video library, branded apps, community, live streaming, and marketing tools. That means you don't need a developer, a tech stack, or a patchwork of subscriptions. It’s just you, your content, and your members.
Premium video experience
A Netflix-style catalog with filters, search, chapters, auto-generated captions in 31 languages, and offline viewing. Members pick up where they left off on any device. We’ve seen videos on the calendar get 12x more viewers than those without for our members.

Launch branded mobile and TV apps for iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, and Samsung TV, all published on your own developer account. You own the app, the code, and the customer relationship. Add the Apple Watch fitness tracker so members can monitor heart rate and calories, set a timer, and control playback right from their wrist.
Community & catalog, all in one place
Your video catalog and community live side by side across web and mobile. Members browse your workouts, then join public and private channels, share posts and polls, upload their own 60-second videos, and take part in challenges, all inside your branded app.
Analytics you fully own
Track revenue, churn, engagement, and content performance from one dashboard, with data you fully own. See which workouts members finish and which they drop, so you can program more of what keeps them coming back.
Hands-on support, around the clock
You and your subscribers never stay stuck. Our in-house team answers questions 24/7 by email and in-platform chat, so a login problem before a live class gets solved fast. An onboarding specialist gets you live with our App Essentials plan, and you even get a dedicated success manager to guide your growth if you go with a Custom plan.

Steps
Free migration consultation
Email or book a kickoff call with the migrations team. They review your current Arketa setup, content, and billing, then build a migration plan and shared checklist tailored to you. You are not left to figure the move out. The team maps it for you.
We move your content
The migrations team uploads and organizes your video library in Uscreen, mapping your videos to the right collections, categories, and subscription plans.
We move your members, with no lost access
Your member accounts and subscriptions are imported for you. Your part is light: share a member list and approve the Stripe data request that only an account owner can authorize, and your specialist walks you through it. Members keep access on Arketa until they are invited to set up their new Uscreen login, so no one is locked out mid-move.

On App Essentials, Uscreen builds your branded mobile and TV apps and submits them to the app stores for you. Typical launch time is about 30 days.
Go live with support and coaching
Launch with 24/7 support, plus an onboarding specialist on App Essentials or a dedicated success manager on Custom. Customers who work with a Uscreen coach ahead of launch earn 2-3x more in their first 90 days.
