Kananas AI features, pricing and GDPR (October 2026)

Kananas is cloud software for associations, clubs and private schools such as music, dance, language and sports academies. It covers members, enrollment, billing and communication, with an AI assistant called KAI for reports, emails, reminders and bookkeeping help.

Kananas started in 2009 as gestasso, a French association management tool, and today serves music schools and conservatories, dance schools, yoga studios, youth camps, parent associations and sports academies from football to swimming. It handles member and student records, enrollment, fees, payments, events and communication, with an interface in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese.

The operator is KIWI SAS in Montauroux, France, under French law. Pricing depends on the number of members, and a free version remains after the 30-day trial.

• Writes lesson and progress reportsThe AI writing assistant generates lesson reports, progress summaries and professional emails from the school's data. Teachers spend less time writing and families get regular updates.
• Sends reminders and tuition noticesAI automation sends reminders, tuition notices and student updates on its own. Administrators chase fewer late payments and missed dates by hand.
• Answers organization questionsKAI answers questions about your organization in its own context and helps with procedures, bylaws, board meetings and annual meetings. Volunteers and staff find answers without searching through documents.
• Sorts bank transactionsAfter a bank statement import, KAI suggests categories and accounting accounts and matches transactions to contacts. Treasurers reconcile payments faster.

• Covers both private schools and nonprofit associations, so one tool can run a music school and its parent association.
• A free version stays available after the 30-day trial, and pricing scales with the number of members.
• Interface in six languages including German and French.

The operator is KIWI SAS, registered in Montauroux, France; the product grew out of the French association software gestasso.

The terms mention that data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area, and in September 2026 the website did not name a hosting location or sub-processors, so ask for both. Check which AI features the free version includes and whether automatic reminders fit your consent rules for messages to parents.
