Jackrabbit Class

Class management for dance, gym, swim and music schools, priced by student count

As of 31 August 2026, Jackrabbit Class starts at $49/month. Studio management software with published tiers from $49 a month, and the detail that catches owners out: billing counts every student in the account, active or inactive, so an unpurged database quietly pushes you into the next tier. Softwr lists it under Education. Jackrabbit Class is made by Jackrabbit Technologies, available on Web, iOS, Android.

Overview

What Jackrabbit Class does

Jackrabbit Class runs the administrative side of a class-based business: enrolment and waitlists, class scheduling and room allocation, recurring tuition billing, attendance and skill tracking, staff portals, and a parent portal for registration, payments and absence notification. Sibling products cover music and swim schools with the same core. The published pricing is a genuine differentiator in a market that mostly quotes. Tiers run $49 a month for up to 100 students, $89 for 101 to 250, $129 for 251 to 500, $169 for 501 to 1,000, $209 for 1,001 to 3,000 and $245 above that. The trap is in the counting rule: billing is based on the total number of students in the account at month end, active and inactive. Studios that never archive former students pay a tier or two above their real size, and the fix is database hygiene rather than a phone call to sales. Buyers are dance studios, gymnastics clubs, swim schools and music academies from a single location to multi-site operators. The trade-off is that Jackrabbit is administratively strong and marketing-light: it will bill your families reliably and tell you very little about acquiring new ones, so most studios run it alongside a separate marketing stack. Payment processing through Jackrabbit Pay is charged on top of the subscription and is where the larger share of the total cost sits for a studio billing hundreds of families monthly.

What people use it for

A dance studio moving recurring tuition off manual card charges onto automatic monthly billing with family accounts
A gymnastics club tracking skill progression per athlete alongside attendance
A multi-site swim school that needs one enrolment view across locations
An owner who wants published software pricing rather than a quote, so the cost of growth is predictable

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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.

Answered, with sources

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

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.

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.

Is there a per-user charge?

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

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.
