Class Manager vs Rosterra

Class Manager provides class-management software for dance studios and other businesses that run classes. Businesses can clone classes, organize seasons and customize schedules with images and color codes. Parents and students can use a self-service portal to see schedules, book classes and pay. Attendance tracking is digital, and billing supports recurring charges and automated overdue-payment reminders. Listed payment options include Stripe AutoPay, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Staff roles and permissions let businesses control which features team members can access. The service is available on the web, Android and iOS, with mobile app views for owners, staff and families. Some advanced admin work, including detailed reporting and class creation, requires the web version. A Zapier integration has triggers for customer, student, invoice, order, lead, booking and payment events. The Free plan is free, with no monthly subscription; online payments carry a flat service charge, and tailored pricing is available for high volumes.

Rosterra is management software for activity businesses, with tools for dance studios to manage rosters, attendance, billing, events, communications and student progression. Studios can track distinct grades and syllabuses for each dance style, publish exam sessions, collect entries and fees, and add recital or costume charges to recurring family bills. Billing supports card and ACH autopay, automatic family and sibling discounts, and failed-payment alerts. Members can check in at a tablet kiosk; staff can take class registers on a phone or tablet. Families can view schedules, progress, invoices and waivers in a web portal or the school's branded app. Listed connections include Square POS, two-way Zoho Books sync, Google Calendar sync and SMS through the customer's provider. Plans are billed monthly per location: Core costs $30 a month for up to 25 active members, Growth costs $60 a month for up to 150, and Unlimited costs $90 a month with no member cap. The terms describe a 30-day trial without a card, while the dance page also states 14 days.
