School Scheduling Software
Alternatives to Prime Timetable
Prime Timetable combines automatic generation and manual editing for schools, universities and similar institutions. It handles multiple weeks, flexible times, elective groups, pinned cards and forbidden slots, with options to optimize teacher and student loads, gaps, room use and building moves. Master and individual views support drag-and-drop changes. Timetables can be customized, printed and exported, with access from any device. Commercial plans add offline work, while the free plan requires an internet connection.

Choosing instead of Prime Timetable
An alternative may suit you better if you need self-hosting, a fully free system, named integrations, or specialist exam and student-management functions. Prime Timetable offers a free evaluation plan and a 30-day trial; Basic and Premium prices appear after choosing a billing duration. It runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Compare whether another product handles your scheduling scope, exams, room booking, student assignments, data exchange or deployment model more directly, and check how its pricing fits your institution.
