Yoga Six wins on the budget dimension outright. Its average unit revenue of $531,600 and an investment range that starts at $534,000 signal operators with real P&L heft—exactly the kind of customer who can justify a multi-module software stack (POS, scheduling, marketing automation) without choking on the monthly fee. 9Round’s low-end investment of $160,449 points to lean, owner-operator shops where every dollar of tech spend gets scrutinized. The royalty spread is negligible (7% vs 6%), so the wallet for software is simply bigger at Yoga Six, and the higher initial franchise fee ($60,000 vs $19,900) filters for franchisees who treat the business as a serious asset, not a side hustle.

Timing and TAM tilt the decision even further. Yoga Six’s unit growth is essentially flat (–0.5%), which in this market reads as stability; 9Round is hemorrhaging units at –29% year-over-year. Selling into a shrinking network means you’re fighting churn before you even land a deal, and your total addressable
