Retreat & Be vs Retreat Guru: Which is better for your retreat?

Retreat Guru has been a go-to directory for wellness retreats and teacher trainings for years. With a large catalog spanning yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and silent retreats, it serves a broad audience of wellness seekers. However, Retreat Guru operates primarily as a listing directory and lacks the modern tools that today's retreat creators need: social engagement features, live streaming, an integrated marketplace, and sophisticated analytics. Retreat & Be was built from the ground up as a full-stack wellness platform. Beyond listing your retreat, you can sell wellness products, stream live sessions, build a social following, and leverage a privacy-first advertising engine — all from one dashboard. With multi-language support across seven languages and robust GDPR compliance, Retreat & Be is the next-generation alternative for hosts who want to do more than just list their retreats. Here is a detailed look at how the two platforms compare.
