Coming soon — optional add-ons
One platform for dance and performing arts schools: memberships now, operations next.
You do not have to run your membership program in one system and the rest of your business in another forever. These four modules are being built on top of the same member record, so a member's plan, pricing and history follow them into every booking.
Calendar & appointments
One schedule across studios and rooms — private lessons, make-ups, rehearsals and season dates in one view.
Classes & group scheduling
Class levels, seasons and multi-child families, with tuition pricing tied to the family's membership tier.
Staff & services
Instructor profiles, room and level assignments, availability, and what each instructor can be booked for.
Gift cards
Gift cards for tuition, privates or recital fees — sold online and redeemable against a family's account.
These modules are in development and will be optional paid add-ons on top of the membership platform — pricing on request. Your membership plan, enrollment, recurring billing and reporting are live today.
Switching from Pike13
Keep Pike13 for the work it already does well. We import your member roster, plans and renewal dates so billing continues without a gap, and run both side by side until the last renewal clears.
Add-on ladders and per-staff pricing scale with headcount, not success
Suites price by location, by staff seat or by tier, then add marketing, apps and automation as paid rungs — and the bill rises whether or not membership revenue does. BoomCloud is $197/mo + $4.50 per active member (Basic) or $397 + $3.50 (Pro), published, with the per-member portion designed to be built into membership dues so the plan funds its own capacity and support. Keep the suite. Add the engine.
One question to ask Pike13
“Who in that company is measured on how many members you enroll next month?”
