Kananas vs Waresport Pro Shop POS

Kananas combines membership CRM, a communication website and a member portal. Its dance-school offering covers recurring classes and private lessons, teacher assignment, student progress, tuition billing and access for students and parents. Studios can manage events and recital ticketing, and import data from spreadsheets or systems such as Mindbody and Jackrabbit. Kananas supports USD billing, and its FAQ names Stripe as a local payment gateway for US studios. The service offers a REST API, webhooks and a sandbox; Kananas says Zapier or Make can connect it to over 2,000 applications. Its dance-school page describes a built-in AI assistant for task automation and studio reports and insights. Members and administrators can use the iOS and Android app. The Free plan supports up to 50 contacts. Paid plans start at $99 a year for 250 contacts, while the M plan costs $366 a year for 1,000 members. A free 30-day trial has no commitment and converts to the Free version afterward. If a suggested tip covering payment fees is refused, the FAQ lists transaction fees of 2.4% plus $0.25.

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.
