Does it sell the way you sell?
- Term or season enrollment with tuition.
- Drop-ins, class packs and memberships.
- Trial classes for new students.
- Private lessons and appointments.
- Recitals, events or competitions with their own fees.
Does it handle families, not just individuals?
Children's studios need one parent account for several children, two guardians, split payments between households, and adult students with their own logins. Ask to see a family with three children in a demo.
Can it enforce your rules?
Late-cancel windows, no-show fees or class deductions, make-up classes, waitlists, age and level rules, and moving a student between levels mid-term with the price difference handled. If you have to enforce a rule by hand, you won't. Our guide on reducing no-shows lists the rules worth having.
What do families pay on top?
Some platforms add their own fee to each payment families make. Ask whether any fee is added beyond card processing, and whether you can choose to absorb processing. Our registration software pricing report shows what platforms publish about this.
Check-in and the front desk
Can students or parents check in themselves at a kiosk? Can instructors see their roster on their own phone? Does attendance deduct the class from a pack automatically?
Contract, price and your data
- Is the price published, or only given after a sales call?
- Is there a contract or a minimum term?
- Is setup and data import included?
- Can you export all your data, any time, at no cost?
