CheerVue vs Jackrabbit Class

CheerVue vs Jackrabbit Class

Jackrabbit Class is one of the longest-running names in gym management, serving gymnastics, dance, swim, and cheer. CheerVue is built specifically for cheer gyms. If most of your week is tryouts, team placement, competition prep, and keeping cheer families in the loop, CheerVue handles those natively instead of as workarounds. Here is the side-by-side.

The difference

Why cheer gyms switch from Jackrabbit Class to CheerVue

Cheer-specific tools Jackrabbit doesn't have

Jackrabbit is a broad general platform. CheerVue adds AI Team Builder, a 4-step tryout workflow with video clips attached to each score, placement reveals, season roster and billing rollover, and competition travel — the things cheer gyms actually run on.

The parent app is included, not a paid add-on

Getting a branded parent app on Jackrabbit means moving to the Jackrabbit Plus bundle — about $44/month more than the equivalent plan without it, plus a one-time $169 setup fee, and the gap widens as your student count grows (roughly $86/month at Enterprise). CheerVue includes a premium native app for everyone — free, on every plan.

Flat, predictable pricing

Jackrabbit's price scales with your student count (about $49–$245/month). CheerVue is free up to 40 active athletes and a flat $50/month unlimited after that — no per-tier surprises as you grow.

The mobile app difference

Jackrabbit's parent app comes through Jackrabbit Plus, a bundled plan that includes the core software and runs $93-331/month depending on student count. That works out to about $44/month more than the equivalent plan without the app at the entry tier, and $86/month more at Enterprise, plus a one-time $169 setup fee. CheerVue includes a premium native app for parents, athletes, and coaches free on every plan.

Is Jackrabbit Class ever the better choice?

Jackrabbit is a dependable, long-standing platform for large multi-program gyms that want a broad general toolset with a long track record — and do not need cheer-specific tryout, evaluation, or team-building tools.

If that sounds like your gym, Jackrabbit Class may serve you well. But if you run a cheer gym and want tryouts, team building, billing, and family communication in one place, CheerVue is built for exactly that.

Switching is easier than you think

Our guided setup wizard is built for mid-season moves. Import your existing teams, athletes, and fee structures and be up and running in minutes — many gyms switch mid-season without any disruption to their families. No contracts, and you are never locked out of your data.
