What Presently is
Presently is a web and API platform for managing studios, combining enrollment, tuition, family portals, texting, attendance, and recital work. It is strongest for dance studios and also serves music schools, tumbling, martial arts, and other class-based programs. Tuition tools support monthly billing, automatic pro-rating, autopay, sibling discounts, family caps, and late fees. Families can register, sign contracts and waivers, pay, and manage accounts through a studio-branded portal. Studios can send email and SMS by class, show, or tag, with two-way texting, delivery tracking, and consent and STOP handling. Recital lineups can be reordered with quick-change warnings. Costume selections, measurements, and invoices are managed in the product. Additional tools include instructor features, private lessons, trial and tour booking, public schedules, roles, permissions, CSV reports, and a Claude AI assistant. Payments use the studio’s Stripe account, while SMS uses its Twilio account.
