Jackrabbit Class

Jackrabbit Class is class and business management software for youth activity centres, covering class management, online registration, appointments, billing, payment processing, the parent and family experience, reporting, student skill tracking and a mobile app.

Student skill tracking is the feature that distinguishes it from general registration software, and it reflects what these businesses actually sell. A gymnastics, dance or swim school is selling progression: a parent enrolls a child to move from one level to the next, and the record of skills achieved is both the pedagogical tool and the retention mechanism. A parent who can see what their child has mastered understands what they are paying for, and re-enrolment follows from that visibility rather than from marketing.

Pricing is based on total student count measured at the end of each month, which is the correct model for this sector because activity centres have pronounced seasonal cycles and a fixed subscription charges the same in a quiet summer as in a full autumn term. Tiered pricing starts at $49, with core software features available for every programme location, so multi-site operators are not charged extra to reach basic functionality.

Jackrabbit Plus is the higher tier, starting at $93, adding a custom-branded mobile app. Branded rather than generic apps matter for activity centres because the app carries the relationship with the family, and a competitor's name on the screen where a parent checks their child's schedule is a weak position.

An Enterprise subscription option adds a business intelligence dashboard from $245, and a one-time non-refundable setup fee applies. Additional capabilities include ePayments, a partner marketplace, published software comparisons and enterprise solutions for larger multi-location operators.
