CheerVue vs StudioGrowth

CheerVue vs StudioGrowth

StudioGrowth is boutique studio software built for Pilates, yoga, and fitness studios, with memberships, class booking, and a branded member app. CheerVue is built for cheer gyms: All-Star teams, classes, private lessons, and open gym, with tryouts, team placement, and family communication next to billing. Here is how the two compare for a cheer gym.

The difference

Why cheer gyms switch from StudioGrowth to CheerVue

Built for cheer gyms, not Pilates studios

StudioGrowth describes itself as built for boutique Pilates, yoga, and fitness studios. CheerVue runs All-Star teams, tryouts with video on each score, AI Team Builder, placement reveals, crossover billing, and competition travel — none of which appear on StudioGrowth’s feature or pricing pages.

Start free, no 12-month commitment

StudioGrowth’s entry plan is $159/month with a 12-month commitment; the cancel-anytime plans start at $250/month. CheerVue is free for up to 40 active athletes and a flat $50/month unlimited after that, with no contract.

Team chat on every plan

StudioGrowth lists in-app messaging and push notifications in its $350/month Harvest plan. CheerVue includes team chat, announcements with read receipts, and push alerts for every gym, including the free plan.

The mobile app difference

StudioGrowth includes its branded member app on every plan; a listing under your own studio's name on the App Store and Google Play is $150/month. CheerVue's app for parents, athletes, and coaches is included free on every plan.

Is StudioGrowth ever the better choice?

StudioGrowth is a good fit for boutique Pilates, yoga, and fitness studios that sell memberships and class packs, want concierge onboarding and data migration, and do not run teams, tryouts, or competition seasons.

If that sounds like your gym, StudioGrowth 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.
