Which tutoring center software still makes sense when you grow from two tutors to twenty?
Teamlilit makes one of the tools on this list. We wrote this comparison ourselves, nobody paid to be included, and every fact about another product links to that company's own page, read on 10 November 2026.
The ten products below are for a tutoring center, agency or small school with 2 to 20 people teaching. They do the same broad job, which vendors also call tutoring business software: one schedule for every tutor, student records, billing, and a way for the owner to see all of it. They differ most in what makes the bill grow. The order is alphabetical, with no ranking.
The short answer: the price for one tutor and for five
Each price comes from the vendor's own pricing page, read on 10 November 2026, and is worked out with the vendor's own rule for one person teaching and for five.
| Product | Who it suits | One tutor | Five tutors | Trial or free plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noto | Tutoring businesses and music schools that want bank payments and no limit on staff | From US$49 a month | From US$49 a month; the price of each plan is not on the page | A demo; no trial stated |
| Oases Online | Centers and test-prep companies that count students, not tutors | US$99 a month, up to 25 active students | The same: the price follows active students, up to US$699 for 350 | A demo; no trial stated |
| Teach 'n Go | Schools and centers that teach classes | €69 or US$79 a month, up to 100 live students | The same: unlimited teachers | 14-day trial, no card |
| Teachworks | Centers that accept a fee per lesson in exchange for unlimited teachers | US$16.49 a month plus US$0.35 per student lesson | The same: unlimited teachers on every plan | 21-day trial |
| Teamlilit | Small centers of four or five tutors who teach online | €29 (Solo) or €69 (Pro) a month | €148 a month: Academy at €119 with four staff seats, plus €29 for a fifth | 14-day trial of Pro, no card; Academy has no trial |
| Tutafy | Teams of up to 5 tutors who accept a new product | Free up to 10 students; Pro $12 a month | Academy, $29 a month (up to 5 tutors) | Free plan |
| Tutorbase | Centers with rooms or several branches that want no subscription | 1% of what you invoice through it | The same 1% | Free to start, no card |
| TutorBird | Small teams who want a low price per tutor | US$16.95 a month | US$36.75 a month (US$4.95 for each extra tutor) | 30-day trial, no card |
| TutorCruncher | Tutoring companies that pay tutors and take card payments through the platform | From £25 a month plus 2.65% card fees (UK page) | No price per tutor on the page: plans start from £25, £60 and £200 a month | 2-week trial |
| Wise | Tutoring businesses on Zoom that would rather pay per session | US$0.80 a session in its calculator | The same rate per session: US$160 a month for 200 sessions | Not stated ("Get Started for free") |
Two things to know about these prices. TutorCruncher served us its UK page, so its prices are in pounds and exclusive of tax. Teamlilit's Academy plan runs four lessons at the same time; a fifth tutor teaching in the same hour needs one more room at €49 a month.
Tutoring business management software: what makes the bill grow
The entry price tells you little about year two. What matters is the thing each vendor counts, and whether that thing grows when your center does.
| Product | The price grows with | Tutor payroll | Several locations | The online lesson |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noto | Not stated: only "Starting at $49 USD/month" is published | Not stated | "Multi-location and franchise support" on its top plan | Supports online lessons; a classroom is not stated |
| Oases Online | Active students | Yes, with custom rates | Says it serves multiple locations and franchises | Not stated |
| Teach 'n Go | Live students | Not stated | Multiple locations on Pro | Online sessions supported; a classroom is not stated |
| Teachworks | Student lessons taught | A wage is recorded on each lesson | Branch accounts: the first 5 included, then US$35 a month each | A link to Zoom, Google Meet or Skype |
| Teamlilit | Staff seats beyond four, and lessons at the same time beyond four | No | No | A classroom in the browser, built in |
| Tutafy | The plan; Academy stops at 5 tutors | Team payroll per lesson, per hour or by revenue share | Not stated | A built-in video classroom |
| Tutorbase | What you invoice | Listed, fed by schedules and attendance | Several centers in one calendar | Not stated |
| TutorBird | Tutors and staff | Payroll tracking | Locations on the calendar | Join Zoom or Google Meet from the calendar |
| TutorCruncher | The payments you process, and the plan | Yes, with exports to Xero and QuickBooks | Extra branches at £40 a month each | Built-in video calls |
| Wise | Sessions run, or seats | Yes, with session-based rates | Not stated | Zoom, with licences bundled |
At twenty tutors the gap is plain where the vendor prices by head. TutorBird comes to US$111 a month (US$16.95 plus nineteen more tutors at US$4.95). Teamlilit comes to €583 a month (Academy at €119 plus sixteen more seats at €29) before any extra rooms. Teachworks, Teach 'n Go, Oases Online, Tutorbase and Noto do not charge by tutor at all, so twenty tutors cost what five do if the students, lessons or invoices stay the same.
How the list was made
Who publishes it. Teamlilit publishes this list and is one of the ten products on it. Its section follows the same headings as the others and says what it lacks.
What was read. Each vendor's own pricing page and features page on 10 November 2026. Every page is archived as text and a screenshot. No review site, star rating or aggregator price is used.
The rule for inclusion. A product is here if its own page says it is for tutoring businesses, centers or schools with several people teaching, and it publishes at least a starting price. Class Manager is left out because its features page says it is "designed specifically for dance studio owners". General booking tools such as Calendly and Setmore are left out because they do not keep student records; they are in our list of the best tutor scheduling software.
The price for five. It is the vendor's own rule applied to five people teaching. Where a vendor does not price by tutor, the table says so instead of inventing a number.
Teamlilit's side comes from the same verified facts as our facts page, including what Teamlilit does not do.
Noto: bank payments and no limit on staff
Noto describes itself as "The all-in-one platform for managing tutoring businesses, music schools, driving schools and more". Its page lists private and group classes, booking and scheduling, billing and payments, and staff and parent portals. The Studio plan lists a calendar management system, flexible auto billing, a CRM, direct bank payments, and unlimited active clients and staff.
What it does well: no limit on staff or clients on the plan we read, and payments straight from a bank account.
What it lacks: published prices. The page says "Starting at $49 USD/month" and gives no price for each plan, and it offers a demo, not a trial. Multi-location and franchise support is on its top plan, and a classroom is not stated.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: starting at US$49 a month. Source: Noto pricing.
Oases Online: priced by active students, in business since 2003
Oases Online is for "tutoring centers, test-prep companies, after-school programs, and other session-based education providers", and its page says it has supported tutoring businesses since 2003. Its features page lists schedules of repeating sessions, session requests from customers through a white label login, access levels and permissions for different staff, payroll with custom rates by group or student, payment processing and automated invoicing.
What it does well: staff permissions and payroll are part of the product, and adding a tutor does not change the price.
What it lacks: a low entry price and a trial: the smallest plan is US$99 a month and the page offers a demo. Its pages do not state a classroom for online lessons.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: Starter US$99 a month for up to 25 active students, rising to Ultimate at US$699 for up to 350. Source: Oases Online pricing.
Teach 'n Go: unlimited teachers and classes on every plan
Teach 'n Go is school management software that "brings scheduling, attendance, payments, messaging, and reporting together", with a student and parent portal. It runs group classes, private lessons, online sessions and hybrid programs in one system, takes payments through Stripe or PayPal, and supports 24 languages.
What it does well: every plan includes unlimited teachers and classes, so the price follows your students and not your hiring.
What it lacks: multiple locations are on Pro, the dearer plan. Its pages do not state tutor payroll or a classroom of its own.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: €69 or US$79 a month for up to 100 live students, Pro from €99 or US$109, with a 14-day trial and no credit card. Source: Teach 'n Go pricing.
Teachworks: unlimited teachers, a fee on every student lesson
Teachworks is tutoring business software with unlimited students, teachers and user accounts on every plan. It creates repeating lessons, shows a teacher's lesson, availability and location conflicts when you schedule, records the wage along with attendance and revenue on each lesson, and takes card payments through Stripe. A center with several sites can add a master account for free and run branch accounts under it.
What it does well: you can add tutors without the monthly fee moving, and the branch structure is ready when you open a second site.
What it lacks: a bill you can predict. Every student in every lesson is charged: a center teaching 500 student lessons a month pays US$152.99 on Growth. The online lesson happens in another app you connect.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: Starter US$16.49 a month plus US$0.350 per student lesson, Growth US$47.99 plus US$0.210, Premium US$187.99 plus US$0.080, with a 21-day trial. Source: Teachworks pricing.
Teamlilit: four tutors, four lessons at once, one fixed price
Teamlilit's Academy plan is for a small center that teaches online. It includes four staff seats for tutors and assistants, four lessons running at the same time and sessions of up to 100 participants. The owner sees every tutor's classes on one calendar, tutors share student pools, each lesson opens in a classroom in the browser, join and leave times are recorded automatically, and invoice lines come from attended lessons. A parent can follow a child through a read-only link. Our page on tutoring center software shows the dashboard and the seat and room numbers in full.
What it does well: the timetable, the lesson and the attendance record are one system, and the price does not move with students or lessons.
What it lacks: Teamlilit does not process card payments, so families pay you directly and you record it. It does not calculate or pay tutor wages. It does not book rooms or manage several locations, sends no text messages and does not sync with QuickBooks or Xero. There is no free plan, and the trial runs on Pro with one staff seat, so you cannot try four seats before you pay. Each seat beyond four is €29 a month, which makes it dear for a large team.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: Academy €119 a month with four staff seats and four lessons at the same time; a further seat is €29 a month and a further lesson at the same time is €49. Source: Teamlilit pricing.
Tutafy: a team plan for up to five tutors
Tutafy says it is "Built for independent tutors & small centers". Its Academy plan covers up to 5 tutors and lists team payroll per lesson, per hour or by revenue share, and a booking page per tutor. Video is built in: "No Zoom, no downloads, no 40-minute cut-off". The page also says "Tutafy never takes a cut of your income".
What it does well: the lowest fixed price for five tutors on this list, with payroll and a classroom included.
What it lacks: a track record and room to grow. Its own page says "We're just getting started", and the Academy plan stops at 5 tutors. The page does not state attendance records or invoices made from lessons.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: Free up to 10 students; Pro $12 a month; Academy $29 a month for up to 5 tutors. Source: Tutafy.
Tutorbase: rooms and branches, and 1% of what you invoice
Tutorbase calls itself tutoring management software. Before a lesson is saved it checks "teacher availability, room capacity, and student conflicts", and it schedules lessons across several centers from one calendar, with support for franchise and multi-branch models. Reminders go out by e-mail, WhatsApp or both, and its home page lists payroll fed by schedules and attendance.
What it does well: rooms, several centers and payroll with no subscription, so a new center pays nothing until it bills.
What it lacks: a ceiling on the cost. The 1% grows with everything you invoice, and the payment provider's fees come on top. The pages we read do not state a classroom for online lessons.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: "1% when you invoice", with no monthly subscription and no card to start. Source: Tutorbase pricing.
TutorBird: a low price for each tutor you add
TutorBird is business software for tutors. For a team its pricing page lists custom roles and permissions, tutor-specific schedules and availability, and payroll tracking. Students book through its Student Portal, reminders go out by e-mail and SMS, payments run through Stripe and PayPal, and the software is offered in six languages.
What it does well: a low fixed price for each tutor you add: US$4.95 a month.
What it lacks: a classroom of its own: the lesson runs on Zoom or Google Meet. The price does rise with every tutor and staff member, though slowly.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: US$16.95 a month plus US$4.95 for each additional tutor or staff member, with a 30-day trial and no credit card. Source: TutorBird pricing.
TutorCruncher: invoices, payroll and video for a tutoring company
TutorCruncher is built for tutoring companies. It generates client invoices and runs tutor payroll, with exports to Xero and QuickBooks. Clients book a tutor's free time slots themselves, reminders go out by e-mail, SMS or app notification, and video calling is built in with 20,000 minutes included.
What it does well: the money side of an agency: paying tutors, billing clients and passing both to the accounts.
What it lacks: a price that stands still. You pay a percentage on card payments on top of the monthly fee, a smaller percentage on payments made another way, and £40 a month for each extra branch.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: on its UK page, Pay as you go from £25 a month plus 2.65% card fees, Startup from £60 plus 2.3%, Enterprise from £200, exclusive of tax, with a 2-week trial. Source: TutorCruncher pricing.
Wise: Zoom included, paid per session or per seat
Wise calls itself "the ultimate tutor management software". It manages one-on-one and group sessions with automated booking, sends reminders over WhatsApp and e-mail, calculates tutor payroll with session-based rates, and includes Zoom with the licences bundled. Its page says "We don't take a cut from your payments".
What it does well: a center already teaching on Zoom keeps it, without buying Zoom licences, and can pay only for the sessions it runs.
What it lacks: published numbers for a team: the per-seat price and the length of any trial are not on the page we read. The lesson runs on Zoom, not in a classroom of its own.
Price, read on 10 November 2026: Pay Per Session at US$0.80 a session in its calculator, which shows US$160 a month for 200 sessions; Pay Per Seat and Enterprise plans are listed without a price. Source: Wise pricing.
Which to choose
Two to four tutors, teaching online. Teamlilit's Academy plan fits this size: four seats, four lessons at once and the classroom built in, for a fixed €119 a month. Tutafy's Academy plan is cheaper and covers five tutors, if you accept a product that says it is just getting started.
Five to twenty tutors, and you do not want to pay for each hire. Teach 'n Go, Teachworks, Oases Online and Tutorbase do not charge by tutor. TutorBird does, at US$4.95 each, which is still US$111 a month at twenty. Teamlilit is the dear choice at this size.
You pay tutors per lesson and want the payroll done for you. TutorCruncher, Oases Online, Wise, Tutorbase and Tutafy state payroll, and TutorBird tracks it. Teamlilit does not do payroll.
You have rooms, or more than one site. Tutorbase checks room capacity and runs several centers in one calendar. Teachworks and TutorCruncher add branch accounts, and Teach 'n Go has multiple locations on Pro. Teamlilit does not manage rooms or sites.
Families pay by card through the software. TutorCruncher, Teachworks, TutorBird, Teach 'n Go and Tutorbase all take online payments. Teamlilit records payments and does not process them.
For solo tutors and the full feature comparison, see the best tutoring software. To start without paying, free tutoring software sorts the free plans from the trials.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best tutoring management software?
For a center, the best one is the one whose price grows with something you can live with. Teach ’n Go and Oases Online count students, Teachworks counts student lessons, Wise counts sessions, Tutorbase and TutorCruncher take a share of the money, and TutorBird and Teamlilit count tutors or staff seats. Decide first whether you need tutor payroll, card payments, several locations or a built-in classroom, because most products on this list leave at least one of them out.
What is tutoring business management software?
It is software that runs the business side of tutoring in one place: the schedule of every tutor, student and family records, attendance, invoices and payments, and often tutor payroll. Vendors also call it tutoring center software, tutoring business software or tutor management software. It differs from a booking app, which only fills a calendar, and from a marketplace, which supplies the students.
How much does tutoring center software cost?
For five tutors, the fixed prices published on 10 November 2026 were 29 dollars a month for Tutafy, 36.75 US dollars for TutorBird, 69 euros or 79 US dollars for Teach ’n Go with up to 100 live students, 99 US dollars for Oases Online with up to 25 active students, and 148 euros for Teamlilit. Teachworks, Wise, Tutorbase and TutorCruncher charge by use: per student lesson, per session, 1% of invoices, or a percentage of payments on top of a monthly fee. Noto publishes only a starting price of 49 US dollars a month.
What is the best app to use for online tutoring?
For a center that teaches online, look at where the lesson itself happens. Teamlilit and Tutafy have a classroom built in, TutorCruncher has built-in video calls, and Wise includes Zoom with the licences bundled. Teachworks and TutorBird link the lesson to Zoom or Google Meet, which you pay for separately. A built-in classroom can record who attended and for how long without anyone typing it in.

If the first case is yours, our page on tutoring center software shows the owner's dashboard, the four seats and the four rooms on the Academy plan. The 14-day trial runs on Pro with one tutor account and needs no card.
