Billing that shows its arithmetic.

iClassPro

“I have to go through and individually charge each family.” Chargebacks cost $25, Amex costs 3.5%, and there's a $10/mo gateway fee plus $10/mo for eCheck.

Chalk

Select all, charge once. Every run is previewed line-by-line with the arithmetic shown before you commit, and one click assembles a chargeback evidence pack that helps you win.

The compliance void.

iClassPro

Search their knowledge base for “SafeSport” and you get zero results. USAG membership years, background-check cycles and the age-18 rule live in your spreadsheet.

Chalk

USAG, SafeSport and background checks tracked against the real renewal calendars, with alerts before they lapse and a flag the day an athlete turns 18.

Saturday morning, 100 kids.

iClassPro

Clipboards at the desk, then someone types the attendance in later — if they remember.

Chalk

Tabs are your clipboards. One tap per kid, and a dropped athlete who sneaks in with a carpool gets flagged before she reaches the floor.

THE HONEST PART

Where iClassPro is ahead.

A mature native mobile app for parents, shipping in the App Store and Google Play for years.
15+ years of edge cases handled — the odd punch-card, the odd tax rule, the odd waiver flow.
A large support organization with phone coverage and a deep help center.
Kiosk hardware partnerships for front-desk check-in stations.
We'd rather be honest about where we are. Founding gyms shape what we build next.

Moving off iClassPro is our job.

We import your families, classes and history, run Shadow Mode until every charge matches to the penny, and you flip billing when you're ready.
