Why Operators Switch to AMES
Activity providers across the UK are moving from Jackrabbit to AMES. Here is what makes the difference.
One platform for every activity
Jackrabbit sells separate products for dance, gymnastics, swim, and other activities. Running two programmes means two logins, two billing systems, and two parent portals. AMES is a single unified platform — one login, one dashboard, one invoice, regardless of how many activity types you run.
Built for the UK market
Jackrabbit is a US product with USD pricing, US payment gateways, and limited awareness of UK compliance requirements. AMES is designed for UK operators: GBP pricing, GoCardless direct debit, DBS check tracking, Ofsted tools, and GDPR compliance baked in from day one.
Modern interface that staff actually use
Jackrabbit's interfaces reflect design patterns from the early 2010s — dense navigation and multi-step workflows. AMES is built with a modern, mobile-first UI that your admin team and instructors can use without training.
Transparent, revenue-share pricing
Jackrabbit charges per student and requires separate licences for each activity product. Costs grow unpredictably as your business scales. AMES uses a revenue-share model — no monthly fee, no per-student charge. You pay nothing until you earn, and one small % covers all activities, all features, and all users.
