RocketClass vs Pebble
Pebble charges a monthly fee and a cut of every booking. We just charge the monthly fee.
Pebble: a UK kids' activities marketplace and booking system, with a per-booking percentage on top of the subscription.
Pebble does the same day-to-day job for a kids' activity business and brings a marketplace of parents with it. The trade is the fee model: a subscription priced on a year's commitment, plus a percentage of every booking on top.

When to choose Pebble instead
If being discoverable inside an existing marketplace of parents matters more to you than the per-booking fee, and Pebble's audience is strong in your area, it is a reasonable choice; that reach is real and we do not have it yet.
Questions people actually ask
Is Pebble more expensive?
It depends on your volume, and that is the honest answer. Its monthly fee is lower than ours, but every booking carries a 2.5% or 3% (+ VAT) fee on top, so the real cost grows with every place you fill. Ours is £29 or £59 a month however full your classes are. Put your own numbers into the calculator and see.
What does Pebble do better?
Reach. Pebble is a marketplace as well as a booking system, so parents already browsing it can find you without you sending them a link.
Is there a Pebble alternative without a per-booking fee?
Yes. We charge £29 or £59 a month flat with no percentage per booking and no annual commitment. Card payments go into your own Stripe account, and only Stripe's standard card fee applies.
