Performing artsYoga & wellnessSalon & beautyServices & coachingEquipment & space rentals
Classes & enrollment
Recurring classes, camps, terms, and contracted programs — with waitlists and capacity built in.
Appointments & bookings
Per-staff appointment scheduling with deposits, buffers, and a smart open-slot picker.
Space & equipment rentals
Rent courts, rooms, chairs, or gear by the hour — auto-assign, packs, and standing reservations. No competitor runs this alongside classes.
Family & client CRM
Families, students, members, and clients in one place — searchable, with primary-contact and sibling links.
A branded app for every client
Each family or member installs your studio's own app — your logo, your colors — to see schedules, attendance, and pay.
Payments, memberships & packs
Stripe built in — tuition, memberships, class packs, and merch, with 0% marketplace commission.

Everything included — on every plan

No “Growth” tier to unlock the basics. No à la carte add-ons. The whole platform, from your first studio.
