- Free migration from Jackrabbit
- Tuition payment plans, sibling discounts built in
Parents ask. The AI answers.
In the same app they pay tuition in.
Click a prompt. The concierge runs the same preview-then-confirm flow your members will see in the real app.
The complaints we keep getting.
And what we do about them.
Features your operators care about.
The things we shipped specifically because dance studios told us they were missing.
Family memberships
Parent invites partner + adds each child (with DOB for age-appropriate class placement). Sibling discount auto-applies. One bill, every dancer tracked.
Tuition payment plans
Annual tuition split across 10 months. Monthly billing on a member-chosen date. Failed-payment recovery, grace periods, and pause-for-summer support.
Class schedule + waitlists
Per-class capacity. Trial-class flow for new families. Waitlists auto-promote when a spot opens. Instructor profiles members can browse.
Parent communications
Push notifications for closures, recital announcements, costume deadlines. Per-child notifications so parents don't get spammed about a class their kid isn't in.
AI concierge
"Does Mia have ballet on Saturday?" "When are costumes due?" The chat answers from real schedule + tuition + costume status. Parents love it.
Real mobile app
Parents install your studio's app to their home screen. Your logo on their phone. No more "I missed the email."
Jackrabbit owns the market. It also owns the complaints.
Apples-to-apples on starting price + what you actually get for it.
| Vendor | Starts at | What you hear |
|---|---|---|
| Cinch | $0/mo + 0.5% | AI concierge, family memberships, modern app — pay-as-you-go or $199/mo flat. Either way, way under the incumbents. |
| Jackrabbit Dance | $59/mo | Dominant, but enterprise-era UX. Parent portal is the #1 complaint. No mobile-first experience. |
| DanceStudio-Pro | $45/mo | Cheaper but uglier. Comparable feature gaps to Jackrabbit. |
| Studio Director | $45/mo | Older platform, dwindling product investment. |
| Akada | $50/mo | Niche, smaller dev team, limited integrations. |
