The 60-second verdict

A class platform wearing a music badge.

Built for

Music lessons vs class rosters

jackrabbitmusic.com literally redirects to jackrabbitclass.com/music/ — same platform as their gymnastics and swim brands. A music-school owner’s December 2024 review calls it “horrible for private one on one lessons”.

Billing

Flat £39 vs $49–$245 by headcount

Tiers rise with student count — and their own policy says the count includes active AND inactive students, taken on “a random day of the month”. Pay for pupils who left. We bill flat, unlimited.

Trying it

Instant trial vs demo funnel

Jackrabbit quietly retired its free trial — /freetrial/ now redirects to a sales-demo request. LessonLoop gives you 30 days free, no card, plus a live demo you can open this second without signing up.

What Jackrabbit does that LessonLoop does not

Jackrabbit’s pricing page lists a custom-branded mobile app on its Plus tier, a business-intelligence dashboard on Enterprise, a product coach and free data imports on every plan, and a 90-day money-back guarantee. LessonLoop has no custom-branded parent app in the app stores and no BI dashboard; its trial is 30 days with no card, and guided migration is free on every plan.

Do the maths

Jackrabbit pricing in 2026

Priced by headcount — including pupils who left. Jackrabbit tiers on your total student count at the end of each month, but publishes only its $49 floor. The slider grants them that floor at every roll size, so their real cost is higher than shown.

Jackrabbit Class US pricing, read from jackrabbitclass.com/pricing in a browser on 4 September 2026 (the page 403s to a script). Their page publishes starting prices only: Class from $49/mo, Plus from $93/mo, Enterprise $245/mo, with “pricing is based on total student count at the end of each month”. The tier bands are NOT published, so this comparison grants them the $49 floor at every roll size — their real cost at your size will be higher, not lower. Billing counts total students on the roll per their own help-centre policy, which includes pupils who have stopped until they are archived. USD only; conversion approximate at ~$1 = £0.78, for comparison only. LessonLoop School: £39/mo, unlimited pupils, active or otherwise.

Questions

Straight answers.

What is Jackrabbit pricing in 2026?

Their pricing page publishes starting figures only: Jackrabbit Class from $49 a month, Jackrabbit Plus — which adds a custom-branded mobile app — from $93, and Enterprise at $245, which is the one tier not based on student count. Everything below Enterprise is “based on total student count at the end of each month”, and the tier bands themselves are not published. Every plan includes free data imports, a product coach and a 90-day money-back guarantee. Priced in US dollars. Read from a browser on 4 September 2026, because the page returns 403 to an automated fetch.

Why does “active and inactive students” matter?

Because you pay for pupils who left. Their billing policy counts your total student records — active and inactive — on a random day each month, and that count sets your tier. A 90-pupil school with 60 old records on file can be billed as a 150-student school. LessonLoop’s price ignores headcount entirely.

Can I try Jackrabbit before buying?

Not self-serve — their free-trial page now redirects to a customised-demo request, with a 90-day money-back guarantee as the fallback. LessonLoop is the opposite: open the live demo right now without signing up, then take a 30-day trial with no card.

What does Jackrabbit have that LessonLoop does not?

Their pricing page names a custom-branded mobile app on the Plus tier from $93 a month, a business-intelligence dashboard on Enterprise at $245, and a product coach and free data imports on every plan. LessonLoop has no custom-branded parent app in the app stores and no BI dashboard — the parent portal is a website on your own domain, and guided migration is free on every plan. Checked 4 September 2026.

Can I import my Jackrabbit data?

Yes — export your students, families and class history and we’ll map and import it for you, free, on every plan.
