ClassJuggler Alternative for Cheer Gyms, Built Only for Cheer.
ClassJuggler handles registration, tuition and family billing. It does that for dance, gymnastics and music schools too, which is exactly why the competitive cheer season falls outside it. Cheerleaders covers that season: scored tryouts, levels and progressions, comp deadlines and uniform resale.
Short answer: ClassJuggler is a class-registration and family-billing platform for activity businesses (online enrollment, tuition, payment processing, attendance) priced by active student count from about $44.95 a month. Cheerleaders is a cheer-only team platform (tryout score sheets, level and stunt tracking, competition season, uniform marketplace) priced from $29 a month per team. They overlap on roster, attendance and family messaging, and nowhere else. If you want to replace registration and tuition, compare ClassJuggler against another class-management platform. If your competitive season is the mess, that is the gap Cheerleaders fills, usually alongside ClassJuggler rather than instead of it.

ClassJuggler scales with your student count.
ClassJuggler bills on the size of your active student database rather than a fixed plan. The base tier covers up to 150 students, and the price steps up about $5 a month for each additional block of 150. There are no setup fees and no contracts, so the bill flexes up as you enroll and back down if a session ends. For a small program that is cheap; for a large multi-location gym it climbs as your rolls grow. What it does not add at any tier is a single cheer-competitive feature, because the product is built for general class registration, not the competitive cheer season.
| Plan / size | Price | Basis | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 150 students | From ~$44.95 / mo | Active students | Registration, billing, scheduling, attendance |
| Each +150 students | +~$5 / mo | Active students | Same features, higher tier |
| Setup & contract | None | Pay-as-you-go | No setup fee, no contract, 30-day trial |
| Cheerleaders Team | $29 / mo | Per team | One team, all cheer tools |
| Cheerleaders Program | $79 / mo | Per program | Multiple teams under one program |
| Cheerleaders All-Star Gym | $199 / mo | Per gym | Whole gym, unlimited teams |

ClassJuggler is a solid registration and billing platform, and we do not replace the parts below. If these are your problem, buy ClassJuggler.
Registration and tuition
Online enrollment, family accounts, tuition billing and built-in card processing across every class you run. Cheerleaders collects no money for you, so if tuition is the pain, this is the answer.
Pay-as-you-go pricing
No setup fee and no contract, with a bill that flexes with your active student count. A small program pays a small monthly rate and is not locked in.
Multi-discipline schools
If you run dance, tumbling and music classes next to cheer, one registration system across all of them is genuinely useful. We only do cheer, on purpose.
A billing system has no opinion about a full-up.
Tryouts
Scored tryouts that hold up
Weighted cheer tryout score sheets, judges scoring independently, results ranked live and defensible line by line.
Levels
Know who is ready
Track tumbling and stunt progressions against cheer level requirements instead of guessing at a practice.
Comps
Competition season handled
A cheer competition schedule with registration deadlines, packing lists, routine timing and results.
Budget
Uniforms back into budget
Resell outgrown sets in the cheer uniforms marketplace instead of a parent Facebook group.
Add Cheerleaders if:
- Your competitive teams are the part ClassJuggler has no answer for.
- Tryouts are scored on paper and totaled with a calculator.
- Nobody can tell you who has a standing full without asking a coach.
- Comp registration deadlines live in somebody's phone notes.
- Outgrown uniforms pile up in a closet instead of turning back into money.
Stay on ClassJuggler if:
- Online registration and tuition billing are why you bought software.
- You run cheer next to dance, tumbling or music under one roof.
- A pay-as-you-go bill with no contract is the whole appeal.
- Parents self-enroll and pay online, and that is the workflow you care about.
To be clear about the choice: we are not asking you to stop taking registrations and payments through ClassJuggler. We are asking why your season still runs on a spreadsheet.
What is the best ClassJuggler alternative for cheer?
It depends on the part that is failing. For registration, tuition and payments, another class-management platform is the like-for-like swap. For the competitive cheer season, Cheerleaders is the alternative, and it is additive: keep billing where it is and move the team side over.
How much does ClassJuggler cost?
As of July 2026, ClassJuggler is priced by active student count, starting around $44.95 a month for up to 150 students and rising about $5 a month per additional 150. No setup fee, no contract, pay-as-you-go, with a 30-day free trial.
Is ClassJuggler good for cheerleading?
It is good at what cheer shares with dance and gymnastics: registration, scheduling, tuition, payment processing and attendance. It has no tryout scoring, no cheer level or stunt tracking, no competition-season workflow and no uniform marketplace, so competitive gyms run those parts outside it.
Does ClassJuggler have a free trial?
Yes, a 30-day free trial with no setup fee and no contract. Billing is pay-as-you-go on your active student count, so the monthly cost scales up as your rolls grow and back down if they shrink rather than locking you into a fixed plan.
ClassJuggler vs Cheerleaders: which do I need?
If your problem is enrolling students and billing tuition, ClassJuggler. If your problem is tryouts, levels, comp deadlines and uniforms, Cheerleaders. Most competitive gyms want both, because neither product does the other one's job.
Can I use Cheerleaders alongside ClassJuggler?
Yes, and it is the usual setup. ClassJuggler keeps registration and tuition. Cheerleaders takes rosters and attendance, tryouts, practice plans, level tracking and comp season. Nothing about billing overlaps, so there is no migration to plan.
