Billing that shows its arithmetic.

Jackrabbit

“Impossible to track transactions for my families.” ACH failures cost $8 each, and your monthly bill grows with every student record you keep — including inactive ones.

Chalk

Every run previewed line-by-line with the arithmetic shown, credits applied automatically, and a flat price that never counts students.

The compliance void.

Jackrabbit

Search their help center for “USAG” across 1,176 articles and you get zero results. Membership years, SafeSport refreshers and background checks live in your spreadsheet.

Chalk

A compliance engine with the real renewal calendars preloaded, expiry alerts, and a flag the day an athlete turns 18.

Saturday morning, 100 kids.

“It was like using Windows 98.” Check-in is a screen the front desk fights, not a tool it uses.

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 Jackrabbit is ahead.

A genuinely deep feature set built over many years, with configuration for almost any policy.
7,000+ gyms and studios in production — a large, proven install base.
Strong training content: webinars, courses and a well-staffed help center.
A certified B-corp with free data imports on the way in.
We'd rather be honest about where we are. Founding gyms shape what we build next.

Moving off Jackrabbit 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.
