Three outcomes

The three jobs billing software has.

Everything else is a feature. These three are the outcomes your studio actually needs.

Get paid on time.

Stripe-powered public pay links, card payments that hit your bank in 2 days, and overdue follow-ups at 7 / 14 / 30 days that run themselves.

Stop chasing invoices.

Auto-generated monthly invoices on the Studio plan. Pack/credit tracking. Partial payments, refunds, credits — all recompute invoice status automatically.

Remind, don’t nag.

Email reminders 24 hours before each lesson. SMS reminders on Studio. Every message logged per student so nothing gets double-sent.

How it works

Set up in an evening.

Signed up, imported, invoicing — before the tea goes cold.

01

Import your students.

CSV, spreadsheet paste, or type them in. Segnoly figures out the columns.

02

Drop lessons on the calendar.

Weekly slots repeat forever. Trial, makeup, and late-cancel are first-class.

03

Send your first batch.

One click turns the month into invoices, with Stripe pay links built in.

Why build this

What Segnoly replaces.

×Venmo + Google Sheets + manual invoices = 6 hours a month of admin.

One dashboard: schedule lessons, auto-generate invoices, collect cards. About 15 minutes a week.

×Parents pay late because the reminder email is your Sunday-night task.

Automated overdue follow-ups at 7 / 14 / 30 days. Polite, signed from you, logged per student.

×Late cancels and no-shows get forgotten, eating your revenue.

Cancellation-policy engine auto-charges late cancels and generates makeup credits. Configure once in Settings.

×The competitor charges $14.95/mo and nickels you for SMS.

Segnoly is $39/mo flat with SMS reminders included — or free on Pay-as-you-earn if you’re just getting started.

No bloat, no team-admin menu you’ll never use. One studio, one login, one monthly invoice cycle — the shape of your actual work.

FAQ

Billing questions.

Do you charge per invoice?

No. Invoices are unlimited on both plans. The only fee on card payments is the 2% platform fee on Pay-as-you-earn — which goes to 0% when you’re on Studio.

Where do card payments land?

Directly in your bank account via Stripe Connect — typically 2 business days after the payment. We don’t hold funds on your behalf.

What about cash, Venmo, or Zelle?

Record them manually in Segnoly. The invoice still shows paid/partial/overdue status, and your books stay accurate. No fee on manual payments.

Can I customize my cancellation policy?

Yes — default is 24h late-cancel / charge / generate-makeup, but every field is editable in Settings. The engine recomputes makeup credits automatically.

What happens to the 2% fee on the Studio plan?

On Studio ($39/mo) the platform fee is 0%. You only pay Stripe’s standard processing fee (2.9% + 30¢ in the US) like any direct Stripe merchant.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Sign up, import your students, start invoicing. No onboarding call required unless you want one.

your studio deserves.
