BUYER'S GUIDE

Best dance academy software in India: 9 options compared

Last verified: 25 September 2026

Disclosure. We make StudioFly. We've included it, and we've tried to be fair to everyone else.

Choosing software for a dance academy in India comes down to a few practical questions. Does it price in rupees and take UPI? Does it send GST invoices and WhatsApp fee reminders? Is there help in Indian hours, and can you see what it will cost? Then: does it handle batches, monthly fees, parents and the annual show?

We checked nine options, StudioFly included, against the same criteria, India first, using only each product’s own pages. This isn’t a ranking. Each product sits under the kind of academy it suits best, and we say where another product suits a buyer better than StudioFly.

Product names on this page are trademarks of their owners. StudioFly is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.

HOW WE COMPARED

India first, then the studio itself.

We checked every product against the same 13 criteria, StudioFly included, using only the product's own website, pricing page, help centre or app listing, between 24 September 2026 and 25 September 2026.

India criteria

  1. Prices in rupees

    The vendor’s own prices are published in rupees. Partly means they’re quoted in rupees but not published.

  2. UPI payments

    Members can pay you by UPI, directly or through an Indian gateway such as Razorpay. Partly means UPI payments are only recorded by hand, or UPI is still planned.

  3. GST invoices

    Invoices to your members with your GSTIN and the CGST and SGST, or IGST, split. Partly means GST is mentioned, or a single tax label, without those details.

  4. Automatic WhatsApp reminders

    Fee, renewal or class reminders sent to members on WhatsApp automatically. Partly means they’re sent by hand, or WhatsApp isn’t available to studios in India.

  5. Support in India

    An office, team or support phone line in India, or support hours stated in Indian time. Partly means support that covers Indian hours without any of those, such as round-the-clock chat, or some help for India, such as onboarding.

  6. Total cost you can see

    A year’s cost can be worked out from the vendor’s pages: the subscription, the add-ons a studio needs and any payment fees. Partly means only some of it, such as a starting price or prices given as ranges. Not listed means quote only.

For dance academies

  1. Batches and levels

    Recurring batches or classes with a capacity. Listed means the pages also describe levels or age groups.

  2. Monthly and term fees

    Monthly tuition, term fees or packages. Listed means the pages also describe part payments or instalments.

  3. Attendance

    Attendance for each class, marked by staff or by QR, biometric or self check-in.

  4. Parent access

    A parent portal or app, or family accounts. Partly means a parent contact on the student’s record, or messages to parents, without a portal or account.

  5. Recitals and shows

    Tools for recitals, costumes or shows. Partly means event ticketing or costume fees without recital or costume tools.

  6. Automatic teacher pay

    Teacher pay or commission worked out automatically from the classes or sessions taught. Partly means pay rates or payroll from hours logged by hand.

  7. Your own website

    Class booking, fee or membership payment and product sales on your own website. Partly means some of these, or only a hosted page.

How we chose the products

We started from what an academy owner in India sees when searching for dance academy or dance studio software: the Google, Bing and Brave results for India that we recorded on 24 September 2026.

We kept products an Indian academy can sign up for and run, and added two recital-focused international tools, Jackrabbit Dance and Studio Pro, because many dance schools build their year around a show. StudioFly is included because we make it.

What “Listed” means

Listed: the product's own pages describe it. Partly: they describe some of it, or only as a paid add-on or on the roadmap. Not listed: we couldn't find it on the pages we checked. That doesn't mean the product can't do it, so ask the vendor.

For StudioFly we used the same standard: what studiofly.fit says, which is limited to what we've confirmed in the product.

IN FAIRNESS

When StudioFly isn't the right fit.

StudioFly suits many dance academies, but not all of them. If one of these describes you, look at the alternatives named first.

Your year builds to a recital

StudioFly doesn’t include recital ticketing, costume inventory or choreography management.

Look at Studio Pro or Jackrabbit Dance, which list recital line-ups and costume sizing, or OpenEduCat, which lists recital planning and costume assignments.59,79,88

Parents need their own login

StudioFly records a parent or guardian’s name and phone on each student, but there’s no parent portal or family account, and reminders aren’t sent to guardians.

In India, AcademyPRO by spyn and AcadifyOS list a parent app, and OpenEduCat a parent portal. Time2book lists parent and child accounts.27,35,88,98

You want a free plan

StudioFly has three paid plans and a free trial.

StudioPartner lists a free plan for up to 30 students, and OpenEduCat has a free open-source edition.4,87

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Your questions, answered.

Want to talk through your own setup?

Let’s have a conversation
What is the best dance academy software in India?

It depends on how your academy runs. For weekly batches on monthly fees, compare rupee pricing, UPI, GST invoices, WhatsApp reminders and support in Indian hours, where the options differ most. For a year built around a show, the recital-focused tools list more. This guide groups nine options by the kind of academy each suits; it isn’t a ranking. We make StudioFly, one of the nine.

Is there free dance studio software?

StudioPartner lists a free plan for up to 30 students, and OpenEduCat has a free open-source edition. StudioFly has three paid plans and a free trial.

Which dance studio software has recital and costume tools?

Studio Pro and Jackrabbit Dance list recital line-ups and costume sizing, and OpenEduCat lists recital planning and costume assignments. StudioFly doesn’t include recital or costume tools.

Which options support UPI and GST invoices?

StudioFly and AcademyPRO by spyn list both UPI and GST invoices. AcadifyOS, OpenEduCat and YoActiv list UPI, and StudioPartner records UPI by hand and lists GST invoices on Pro. On the pages we checked, Jackrabbit Dance, Studio Pro and Time2book didn’t list INR pricing or UPI.

Which dance academy software works out teacher pay automatically?

StudioFly creates commissions automatically for every PT session and works out class commissions for each teacher. AcademyPRO by spyn lists salary computed automatically from sessions, and YoActiv lists commission tracking with an instructor cost report. Jackrabbit Dance and Studio Pro work from hours or classes logged on a time clock.

How often is this guide checked?

At least every 90 days, and straight away after a known change such as an acquisition or a price change. The date at the top of the page is the last full check.
