Plans

Four plans. One system.

Teach alone, or run a school with a staff. It’s the same software underneath, and none of the plans limits how many students you teach. Pricing is coming soon.

What “coming soon” means.

The software exists. How it is packaged and priced is still being decided.

There is no price and no sign-up. Nobody can start a plan today. Plans will begin with a 30-day trial.
The Practice app is separate from these plans. It is a monthly subscription, bought through the App Store, for people with no studio on B♭ Studio. Families at a studio that uses B♭ Studio get the same practice tools in every plan.
Everything listed below is built, except where a cell says Planned. Which plan includes it is our current thinking and may change before pricing is announced.
No plan limits how many students you teach. Solo is one teacher, and the others are sized by teachers. Those numbers arrive with the prices.
The waitlist is the only way to hear when that changes. Joining it reserves nothing.

Who each plan is for.

Solo
Pricing coming soon
For the teacher who is the whole studio.
One teacher with their own students: a private studio, a home studio, or a teacher who is the whole business.

Card payments go into the studio’s own payments account, so what families pay goes to the studio and not through Frank's Musik Services LLC.

Add a module.

Added for an extra price. Payroll is already part of School and Enterprise. Each module is offered only once it is built and checked.

Payroll
Built
Teachers paid from attendance, each lesson at the rate that applied on the day. Part of School and Enterprise; a Studio can add it when it has teachers to pay and isn’t ready for School.
Repairs
Built
Work orders, quotes, parts and labor, photos, pickup, and a payment gate so nothing leaves until it is paid for. Add it to any plan, or use it on its own.
Multi-Location
Planned
Run more than one site from one account, with one view across all of them. For School and Enterprise.
Music Production
Planned
Recording and production work.
Shop
Planned
A retail shop: point of sale, stock and rentals.

Prices for modules come with the plans’ prices.

Not in the plans yet.

Planned, or built and left out of the plans for now.

Teams lesson rooms are for Enterprise: A standing room per student, created for you, depends on a studio’s own Microsoft 365. The installation we run does it today, and Enterprise is planned to use its own. Solo, Studio and School set their own online link instead, Zoom or anything else.
Printed, mailed statements: Paper statements go through a mailing service with its own account. They aren’t in the first plans.
Importing from other software: Bringing in families and students from a spreadsheet is planned.
A staff app: The family app is built and coming soon. A staff app for iPhone and iPad is planned.

Coming soon.

B♭ Studio runs a working music studio today. If you run one too, join the waitlist and we’ll be in touch when there is something to show you.
