Class Manager vs Waresport Pro Shop POS

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.

Waresport Pro Shop POS is a browser-based point-of-sale system for sports clubs and facilities selling retail products and services at a front desk. Staff can take card or cash payments, or charge sales to member accounts so purchases can appear on family wallet statements alongside dues, lessons and court fees. Checkout supports product search, barcode scanning and quick selection of popular items. Sales automatically reduce stock; inventory tools include low-stock thresholds, vendor receiving, cycle counts and audit trails. Products can have variants, categories, local taxes, discounts and member-only pricing. Reports cover best sellers, slow movers, revenue by category, gross margin and revenue per location. Each facility can maintain separate inventory and reporting, with a parent dashboard that rolls results up. Stringing and repair tickets record job details and track work from drop-off to pickup, with text and email notifications. The web app runs on iPad, Android tablet, Mac or PC without installation and can work through short outages before syncing. Team starts at $69.99/mo and includes POS; a free trial is offered, with no duration stated.
