Kananas
Kananas combines membership CRM, a communication website, and a member portal, with a dance-school offering for classes, billing, and events. Studios can schedule recurring classes or private lessons, assign teachers, track student progress, and provide access for students and parents. The service also covers tuition billing and event or recital ticketing. Studios can import data from spreadsheets or systems such as Mindbody and Jackrabbit. The dance-school page says USD billing is supported, and the FAQ names Stripe as a local payment gateway for US studios. Kananas offers a REST API, webhooks, and a sandbox; it says Zapier or Make can connect it to over 2,000 applications. The page describes a built-in AI assistant for task automation and studio reports and insights. Members and administrators can use the iOS and Android app. The Free plan supports up to 50 contacts. Paid plans start at $99 per year for 250 contacts, and a free 30-day trial converts to the Free version afterward. If a suggested tip covering payment fees is refused, the FAQ lists transaction fees of 2.4% plus $0.25.
