How the lifecycle works, what's built, and the honest answer to what isn't.

classly sells a seat in a session. Cohort enrolls a person in a series. classly’s roster is whoever booked that one dated night; cohort’s roster is decided once at intake and held across every occurrence a recurrence rule generates. classly is named here as a sibling brand built on the same capacity-N engine — it is never described as live, shipped, or in production on this page.

No. Recurrence expansion, series-enrollment, and roster-continuity are PLANNED on this snapshot: they are the product plan for cohort.software, not a live flow you can enroll through today. The capacity-N seat law underneath is the one piece that is a shared, built engine mode across the schedule family.

The commitment is a product commitment, not a live billing state: cohort takes 0% commission on cohort tuition or dues, at any tier, ever — a promise Maven’s 10% commission and Momence’s fee-heavy tiers cannot structurally make. All pricing shown on this page is the plan, display-only. There is no live checkout and no card is charged anywhere on this site.

A facilitator running a finite program with a start date and an end date — not a studio owner filling tonight’s room. Corporate L&D and training-cohort leads, bootcamp section leads and tutoring pods, coaches and therapists running an 8-week group, and wellness studios selling a term or session block rather than drop-ins.

A moved session or a holiday skip is planned to be an exception stored as data against the occurrence set, not a hand-edit of twelve rows — nobody loses their seat when a week moves. A mid-series join is planned to carry proration and a makeup-session path so a week-three joiner does not simply lose the first two weeks.

K-12 institutional timetabling, 1:1 appointments, and field dispatch are explicitly out of scope here. K-12 timetabling and field dispatch live on schedule.software; 1:1 appointment booking is a distinct planned sibling module, not this product.

Maven charges roughly 10% commission on cohort-style program revenue; Momence’s tiers are fee-heavy; Circle bundles community and cohort tooling with its own transaction and tier costs. Disco is quote-only for entry; Teachfloor gates a custom domain behind a roughly $349/mo tier. Cohort’s plan is self-serve entry with a custom domain not gated to a top tier, and 0% commission on tuition at any tier — named factually as the competitive comparison; no competitor copy or code is reused here.

The same shared booking-law substrate that underlies cohort also underlies the rest of the schedule family, so a facilitator can grow into 1:1 appointments (dibs, planned), a resource-booking module (room.software, planned), or K-12/dispatch scheduling (schedule.software) without migrating off the engine their roster already runs on. This growth path is planned. schedule.software and homeroom.software are the two sibling sites linked from this page; what each of them ships is stated on its own page, and cohort.software asserts nothing about any sibling’s status.

No, not for the domain. A custom domain is named starting at the Solo tier — most cohort and program tools charge for that and reserve full white-label for an enterprise contract. Removing our branding is one paid tier up, at Pro, not a sales call. The self-serve connect-your-domain and theming surface for cohort.software is not built yet, the same honest scope as the recurring-series enrollment surface itself. Notification emails carry your display name and reply-to; the legal and consent footer stays ours by design. Pricing is the plan; there is no live checkout on this page.

“Getting started” walks the three-step, no-sign-up process and the three buyer tracks. “Help” is the long page: the series lifecycle stage by stage, the white-label and domain scope, the build inventory, and every edge case — a moved session, a late join, a finished cohort rolling into the next intake. Both are linked in the footer and the main nav.
