Our verdict on Presently
Presently brings dance-studio administration into one web-based system for dance schools, music schools, performing arts centers, and other class-based programs. Its core subscription covers class scheduling, online enrollment and registration, waitlists, attendance statuses, tuition billing, autopay, invoices, payment plans, family and student records, instructor roster access, communications, reporting, exports, and audit logging. The main Presently plan costs $49 per month and includes unlimited students, classes, and instructors. Families and instructors access mobile-first web portals, while administrators manage schedules, rosters, billing, and records.
The pricing structure is straightforward but modular. The $49-per-month Presently plan provides the primary studio-management functions. Events Management costs an additional $9 per month for recital and event lineups, multi-show events, intermissions, conflict notifications, and PDF and Excel exports. Costumes & Sizing adds costume approval workflows, measurements, size suggestions, vendor tracking, and a virtual costume book for $9 per month. Live Chat is another $9-per-month option for real-time family messaging, portal chat, chat history, status visibility, and notifications. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Platform fit is the main consideration. Presently runs on the web and connects with Stripe and Twilio, along with Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Model Context Protocol clients. Its feature coverage suits studios that want scheduling, billing, attendance, recital planning, costume administration, and family communication in one system. The vendor states that native iOS and Android apps are not yet available, so studios seeking dedicated mobile applications should look elsewhere. Presently is a practical choice for web-first organizations that want a broad core system and can select add-ons as their event, costume, and communication needs grow.
