GuruDesk vs OneBookPlus

GuruDesk is web-based tuition and coaching management software for teachers and coaching centres in India, with a stated focus on Siliguri and North Bengal. It organizes student profiles, batches, schedules, attendance, and fees. Profiles can retain batch and fee history. Teachers can mark attendance for an entire batch and review each student’s attendance record. Fee tools track outstanding dues, record received payments, send reminders, and turn logged payments into digital receipts or invoices. Setup includes an institute name, logo, and batches; users can import a student list or add students individually. The site says GuruDesk works offline and runs smoothly on mobile phones, including budget Android devices on slow connections. Parents cannot access the system; it is intended for teachers and institute owners. A free plan is available for solo teachers with up to 30 students. The Starter Teacher Pack costs ₹179 a month and allows up to 90 students and 6 batches. Free guidance is offered with a stated callback within 24 hours.

It supports weekly, fortnightly, monthly and seasonal schedules, can build route schedules and raise invoices automatically, and lets technicians record chlorine, pH, alkalinity, salt, stabiliser and dosed chemicals for each pool. Invoices calculate 10% GST, show the business ABN and provide a GST summary for BAS reporting. Its Free plan includes a booking page; paid plans include a hosted website. Starter and higher plans offer Stripe payments, which carry Stripe processing fees plus a OneBookPlus platform fee. The service lists integrations with Stripe, Google Calendar, Mailchimp, Google Ads and Facebook Ads; Xero Sync and ATO Tax Lodgement are in development. A native app is available for iPhone and iPad, alongside a web app recommended for Android users. Plans include Free at free, Starter at A$29 a month, Plus at A$49 a month and Growth at A$69 a month.
