DANZ vs YogaCRM

DANZ is a platform for dance schools to manage schedules, bookings, attendance, passes, events, payments, communication and reporting. Schools can set recurring classes by studio, teacher, level and style; students book through web or mobile and can join waitlists that advance automatically when a space opens. QR check-in marks attendance and deducts class credit, with a 30-second window to reverse a scan. Schools can sell 5-, 10- and 20-class cards or unlimited passes, including pause and family-sharing options. Event tools cover online ticketing, emailed QR tickets and door scanning. Payroll supports automatic calculations, substitutes, custom rates and PDF payslips; dashboards show fill rates, at-risk students, geography and teacher performance. Schedule sync is available for Google, Apple and Outlook calendars. The service provides role-specific apps and browser access to each school’s dedicated site. DANZ says it uses encrypted data, EU hosting and an audit log, and that customers can export their data. DANZ Solo costs €49/month, excluding VAT; there is no free plan or trial.

YogaCRM is a management platform for solo instructors and small yoga studios, covering scheduling, bookings, check-in, payments, and student communications. Schedules can include recurring classes, workshops, retreats, private sessions, instructor assignments, and rosters, with automatic promotion from waitlists. Students can check real-time availability and book drop-ins, courses, and trials from a device. Check-in supports QR codes or taps, guest and waiver capture, capacity tracking, and no-show follow-ups. Payment options include Stripe, pay-at-venue, memberships, passes, packages, and invoices; instructor payout reports are also available. Listed integrations include iCal and Google Calendar synchronization, Stripe and PayPal payments, and Zoom. Student notices can go by WhatsApp, SMS, or email, with class updates and announcement templates. The mobile app lets owners and team members manage sessions, students, bookings, schedules, check-ins, notifications, and account details. YogaCRM lists a free plan and a 30-day trial, with paid plans from $29 per month. It says it has no contracts and will provide a full customer-data export if a customer leaves.
