Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Jackrabbit Class

  • Billing counts every student record in the account, active and inactive, so studios that never archive leavers pay for a larger tier than their real enrolment and only discover it when someone audits the database.
  • Payment processing through Jackrabbit Pay is charged on top of the subscription and typically exceeds it in absolute terms, so the published tier price understates the real monthly cost considerably.
  • Marketing capability is minimal: there is no meaningful lead capture, nurture or campaign tooling, so studios run a separate marketing stack and reconcile enrolments manually.
  • The interface is dense and dated, and part-time front desk staff need more training than the price point suggests, which is a recurring cost in a sector with high staff turnover.
  • Feature parity between the web application and the mobile apps is incomplete, so administrators end up back at a desktop for anything beyond attendance and rosters.

Wakelet

  • Free Starter plan caps at 3 collections, 250 items and 1GB storage
  • Education Group plan is billed annually at $160/year for only 1 teacher and 30 students, with extra teachers at $40/year and extra students at $4/year
  • Group plan requires a minimum of 2 seats at $119.99 per seat per year
  • Enterprise plan is yearly billing only

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Jackrabbit Class: How is the student count calculated?

On the total number of students in your account at month end, including inactive ones. Archive former students before the billing date or you will pay a higher tier than your enrolment warrants.

Wakelet: Does Wakelet offer a free plan?

Yes, Wakelet provides a complimentary plan to begin creating collections. "Paid plans are available for individuals, groups, schools, and organizations that need more space and features."

Source
Jackrabbit Class: What does payment processing cost?

It is charged separately from the subscription through Jackrabbit Pay and is quoted rather than published. For most studios it is the larger cost, so get the rate in writing.

Wakelet: What types of content can I save in Wakelet?

You can capture "links, files, images, videos, notes, and content" from various platforms and organize them into visual collections for easy access and sharing.

Source
Jackrabbit Class: Is there a per-user charge?

No. Staff users are unlimited on every tier, which suits studios with many part-time instructors.

Wakelet: Is there customer support available?

Yes, support resources are provided including a Help Centre and the ability to contact support directly through their ticketing system for assistance with account or product questions.

Source
Jackrabbit Class: Does it handle multiple locations?

Yes, with location-level scheduling and reporting, though very large multi-site operators find the reporting shallower than a purpose-built enterprise system.
