Session Monkey review
A £20-per-month web system for parent bookings, attendance and payments.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Session Monkey is a cloud booking and club-administration platform for coaches, gymnastics clubs and children’s activity providers running recurring classes. It gives parents online booking pages and registration forms for parent and child details, while club staff can organise sessions, monitor payment status, record attendance and use coach dashboard tools. The positioning suits solo operators and small to mid-market clubs that want weekly class administration without a heavyweight enterprise system.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, Session Monkey has one paid plan at £20 per month, billed monthly. The plan includes customisable registration forms, attendance registers, session and class management, parent booking, booking reminders and discount code support. A seven-day free trial is available without a card requirement, and there is no free plan. Listed pricing is in GBP and excludes VAT; Stripe application and processing fees are additional. The single-plan structure keeps buying decisions simple, though it provides little tier-based flexibility for clubs with more specialised requirements.
Stripe is the listed payment integration, supporting online payments and payment-status visibility within the club workflow. The service runs on the web, making it suitable for browser-based administration across recurring classes. Its focus is intentionally narrow: clubs needing progression tracking, member portals or meet management should choose a broader gymnastics suite. Session Monkey is a practical fit when the priority is collecting bookings, keeping attendance records and coordinating payments, but less suitable for organisations seeking an all-in-one system for athlete development and competition operations.
