Dance-focused recital & registration platform

DanceUp vs. Studio Pro

Studio Pro is genuinely dance-focused, with mature recital and costume-management tooling DanceUp doesn't attempt. It's the cheapest published entry price in the category — DanceUp still starts at $0.

DanceUp pricing

Event Host is free. Studio Owner is $129/mo, Studio Owner Pro+ is $179/mo — all three published, no "request a quote" tier, plus a flat 1.5% platform fee on top of standard card processing.

Studio Pro pricing

Studio Pro publishes three tiers — Essentials at $49/mo, Premier at $79/mo, and Elite at $165/mo, each adding lead capture, 2-way texting, and a dedicated studio phone number at the top.

The mobile and front-desk apps

Dancer / member mobile app

DanceUp's dancer app is a cross-studio discovery marketplace with schedule-based, zero-tap auto check-in. Studio Pro's parent portal and class-manager apps are built around a single studio's roster rather than discovery across studios.

Front-desk / tablet app

Studio Pro ships a dedicated class-manager app for staff. DanceUp Studio is the iPad-only front-desk counterpart — self-service kiosk check-in, QR/ticket scanning, and Kiosk Watch Mode streaming every check-in to the owner's web dashboard live.

Where Studio Pro might actually be the better fit

If recital season — costume sizing, ordering, and logistics — is the single biggest operational lift at your studio, Studio Pro has purpose-built tooling for exactly that which DanceUp doesn't offer today.
