Jackrabbit Class is good software with a twenty-year track record — and a bill that climbs every time your roster does, including students who left. Prodigy Suite does the same job — registration, rosters, attendance, auto-pay tuition — for one flat price that tops out at $79.99.
Jackrabbit's price follows your student count. Prodigy Suite's follows your plan — and stops at $79.99.

Card processing on the tuition you collect is Stripe's standard rate (2.9% + 30¢ in the US), charged by Stripe into your own account — Prodigy Suite adds nothing on top. Jackrabbit processes payments through Jackrabbit Pay; their rates are quoted on request.

In-app messaging via Jackrabbit Plus (from $93 / month plus a $169 setup fee), or SMS through a Twilio integration: up to $69 to set up, then about $4.90 / month and 2¢ a text.Published on help.jackrabbitclass.com, August 2026. | Yes — your own number, $4.99 / month + 2¢ a text, no setup fee.

So nobody finds out after switching: there is no per-studio app-store app, no recital or costume planning, no ticketing, and no staff payroll. If any of those is a deal-breaker today, Jackrabbit is the safer choice and we would rather you knew now.
Two-way SMS used to be on this list. It is not any more — your studio can have its own text number, with replies in one inbox and payment links families can tap. It is the one thing that costs extra: $4.99 a month plus 2¢ a text. Jackrabbit's Twilio route costs much the same; the difference is that we buy and register the number for you instead of asking you to run a Twilio account.
You can run both systems for a month if you would rather move slowly. Nothing about the switch is irreversible.
Run the Enrollment Detail report and export the All Classes grid. Two files carry your families, students, classes and who is in which one.
Drop both files on the import page. Jackrabbit's columns are recognised by name, you see exactly what will be created before anything is written, balances carry over, and the whole import can be undone. Growth includes hands-on help; on Unlimited we do it for you.
Your classes arrive with their days, times, instructors and tuition. Look them over, then send families the registration link. Parents add their own card — card numbers cannot legally move between systems, on any platform.
Pick the day of the month. Auto-pay collects, the unpaid list shows who is left, and you stop chasing.
For registration, rosters, waitlists, attendance, auto-pay tuition, statements, skills tracking, certificates, private lessons, a front-desk store and lead follow-up — yes, and those are all in every plan. Two-way texting is there too, as a $4.99-a-month add-on. For branded app-store apps, recitals, ticketing and payroll — no, not today. The comparison above lists both honestly.
No sales team, no implementation fees, no per-student metering, and Stripe handles the money so we do not run a payments business on the side. The trade-off is real: we are newer, we have fewer integrations, and phone support is on the Unlimited plan only.
Their published billing policy bases the monthly fee on the total number of active and inactive students in the system. Prodigy Suite counts students with an active enrollment only. Check Jackrabbit's current policy with them — it can change.
Families with their billing contact, email, phone and address; students with birth dates, gender and medical notes; classes with their days, times, room, instructor, capacity, tuition and session dates; every current enrollment with its enroll date; and balances owing, posted as an opening line on the family's statement. It reads the Enrollment Detail report and the All Classes grid export directly — Jackrabbit's column names are recognised, "Jordan B." is matched to Jordan Blake on your staff list, and anyone marked dropped stays dropped. You check what will be created before anything is written, and one click undoes the whole import.
What does not move: saved card details (no system can export them), attendance and payment history, recital and costume records, and anything Jackrabbit keeps that Prodigy Suite has no equivalent for. Run both for a month if you want the history to hand.
Yes, on any switch between any two systems — saved card details are held by the payment processor and cannot be exported. Families add a card once in the parent portal; it takes them about a minute and you can see who has and has not from the auto-pay list.
Every list exports to CSV on every plan, there is no notice period, and tuition lives in your own Stripe account, so nothing about your money depends on us. Cancel from the billing page whenever you like.
