The Studio Director
The Studio Director manages the day-to-day operations of businesses that schedule and charge for classes, including dance, gymnastics, martial arts, and fitness studios. Students can register through its portal, check schedules, request trial or makeup classes, and pay. For billing, it supports recurring card and ACH payments, tuition calculations, prorating, discounts, invoices, and statements. Operators can manage recurring classes, attendance, waitlists, room schedules, and instructors, as well as send targeted or automated email, distribute documents, and run promotions. Event timelines can arrange performances to avoid conflicts; costume tools cover assignments, sizing, orders, and charges. The product runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with integrations listed for Mobile Inventor branded apps and Google registration and bookings. A free 30-day trial is available. Monthly prices vary by student count and payment-processing option: Software + Payments for 0–100 students is $39 a month, while Software Only for that range is $65 a month. Trial data is purged 30 days after expiration if the customer does not purchase.
