Our verdict on Class Manager
Class Manager is cloud-based scheduling software for dance studios, gymnastics clubs, recreational centers, and other class-based businesses. It brings scheduling, enrollment, attendance, capacity management, waitlists, instructor and room assignments, billing, messaging, and parent or student portals into one system. Staff can manage registers, student information, payments, and permissions, while customers can view schedules and book classes through self-service tools. Access is available on the web, iOS, and Android.
The published Free plan has no monthly subscription and applies a flat service charge to online payments processed. Its scheduling coverage includes class and season planning, class duplication, recurring weekly classes, capacity controls, waitlists, and room conflict prevention. Digital attendance registers, instructor and staff permissions, automated billing, and parent or student booking extend the product beyond a basic calendar. For organizations that need a free operating model for recurring classes, these capabilities make the plan unusually broad.
Class Manager also connects with Stripe, Zapier, Xero, and GoCardless, supporting payment processing, automation, accounting, and direct debit workflows. In-app chats, broadcasts, and group messaging keep communication within the same workspace. The main trade-off is the transaction-based pricing model: organizations processing online payments incur service charges rather than paying a monthly subscription. Its focus is also clearly class operations, so organizations seeking a wider general-purpose business platform may need another option. Choose Class Manager for studios, clubs, and centers that want scheduling, attendance, booking, billing, and communication together without a monthly subscription; consider alternatives when class management is only a small part of the wider workflow.
