Jackrabbit Class Alternative for Cheer Gyms, Built Only for Cheer.
Jackrabbit Class bills your families and fills your classes. It does that for dance studios and swim 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: Jackrabbit Class is a class-management and billing platform for activity businesses (registration, tuition, scheduling, parent portal), priced from $49 a month tiered by student count. 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 messaging, and nowhere else. If you want to replace tuition billing, compare Jackrabbit against iClassPro. If your competitive season is the mess, that is the gap Cheerleaders fills, usually alongside Jackrabbit rather than instead of it.

Jackrabbit pricing grows with your student count.
Jackrabbit bills on the number of students in your system at the end of each month. That is genuinely fair for a small program and it is the reason gyms like it: the bill only grows when the business does. It also means your software cost climbs every time you enroll a rec class, whether or not those athletes ever touch a competitive team.

Jackrabbit has been running class businesses for a long time and it is good at it. We do not replace any of the following, and if these are your problem, buy Jackrabbit.
Getting paid
Online registration, tuition, autopay and revenue reporting. Cheerleaders collects nothing for you. If chasing tuition is the pain, this is the answer.
Fair pricing for small gyms
Tiering on student count means a 40-athlete program pays near the $49 floor. No contracts, no setup fee, and a 90-day money-back guarantee is a real commitment.
One studio, many activities
Cheer, dance, tumbling and music under one roof, on one platform, with one parent portal. We only do cheer, which cuts both ways.
A billing platform 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 Jackrabbit 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 are tracked in somebody's phone notes.
- Outgrown uniforms pile up in a closet instead of turning back into money.
Stay on Jackrabbit if:
- Tuition billing and online registration are why you bought software.
- Rec classes, not competitive teams, are most of your revenue.
- You need one parent portal across cheer, dance and tumbling.
- Your student count is low enough that $49 a month is hard to beat.
To be clear about the choice: we are not asking you to stop billing through Jackrabbit. We are asking why your season still runs on a spreadsheet.
What is the best Jackrabbit Class alternative for cheer?
For registration and billing, the closest like-for-like swap is iClassPro, which starts at $139 a month per location. 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 Jackrabbit Class cost?
As of July 2026, tiered pricing starts at $49 a month based on your total student count at month end. Jackrabbit Plus, with a branded app, starts at $93 a month plus a one-time $169 setup fee. Enterprise runs $245 a month, or $331 bundled with Plus.
Is Jackrabbit Class good for cheerleading?
It is good at what cheer shares with dance and gymnastics: enrollment, tuition, scheduling, attendance and parent communication. 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.
Jackrabbit Class vs iClassPro: which is cheaper?
Usually Jackrabbit for a small program, because it tiers from $49 a month by student count while iClassPro starts at $139 a month per location. A big single-gym program with a large student count can flip it, and a multi-location program pays iClassPro per gym. Price both on your real numbers.
Does Jackrabbit Class have a free trial?
Yes. Jackrabbit's pricing page advertises a free trial, no contracts or setup fees on the standard plan, and a 90-day money-back guarantee. Jackrabbit Plus carries a one-time $169 setup fee for the branded app, plus app store fees.
Can I use Cheerleaders alongside Jackrabbit Class?
Yes, and it is the usual setup. Jackrabbit keeps enrollment 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.
iClassPro alternative for cheer gyms
The other class platform, priced per location. Verified pricing and an honest split.
TeamSnap alternative for cheer
The generic team app most squads start on, and where it runs out of road.
Cheerleaders for all-star programs
How a competitive program runs every team, tryout and comp in one place.
Game day, every day
Keep your billing. Fix your season.
Tryouts, levels, comp deadlines and uniforms, in a tool that only does cheer. Set up your first team in minutes.
