ChessDesk is license-based software for one academy. We deploy it on your server, or host a private instance for you. There is no self-serve signup that mixes academies on one site.
Tell us your student count, whether you want us to host it, and which plan fits. We'll send you a quote and walk you through purchase.

Same licensed product. Same one-academy isolation. You choose where it runs.
We deploy ChessDesk on your VPS or cloud. Your academy's data stays on infrastructure you control. Best if you already have IT or a preferred host.
We run a dedicated instance for your academy on our server. You get a URL and logins — no VPS to manage. Still not a shared multi-academy SaaS: other clubs cannot see your students.
Plans differ by capacity and selected capabilities — online payment gateways, WhatsApp, multi-branch, custom branding, and bulk import.

Define your own levels — Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or whatever your academy uses. Online/offline modes and flexible session schedules, built the way coaches actually work.
Coaches mark PRESENT / ABSENT in under 60 seconds per batch. Timestamped, logged, and accessible to the admin.
Per session or by the hour (recurring sessions) — per batch, per student. Apply discount codes and custom fee overrides. Fees auto-debit from each student's prepaid wallet. No more manual calculations.
Students and parents log in to see schedules, attendance history, session statements, and wallet summary. Reduces routine follow-up queries to the coach.
Attendance per student, revenue per batch, sessions per coach, outstanding payments. Pull any report instantly or configure automated scheduled email delivery.
Admin, Manager, Coach, Student, and Parent — each role sees only what it should. Full audit log of every action.
On Professional and Enterprise, students top up wallets via Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, or Mollie — depending on your country. Admin enables the gateway from the dashboard. Top-ups cover session fees automatically.
Import hundreds of students at once via a CSV file. The system validates every row — catching errors before committing — and reports them clearly. Enterprise plan feature.
Connect your Zoom account. Coaches start live class from the session; students and parents join from their portal. Included on every plan.
Rated and casual play, computer games, correspondence, engine analysis, and staff fair-play tools — inside your academy, not on a public chess site. Included on every plan.
Renew your license to keep access. AMC covers updates, bug fixes, and continued support after your initial license period.
ℹ️ Email us when your license is nearing expiry for renewal details.
