GuruDesk vs TutorHive

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.

TutorHive is a tutoring management platform for scheduling sessions, tracking students, handling invoices and homework, and connecting tutors with parents. Its calendar supports recurring sessions and is designed to prevent double-booking. Student profiles can store goals, progress notes, attendance, and session history. Stripe and PayPal integrations are advertised, with payments going directly to the tutor and zero commission. Parents can use a portal for attendance, notes, homework, and certificates, available in 10 languages. Tutors can connect their own Zoom, Voov Meeting, or ClassIn accounts; TutorHive says it stores the meeting link but does not access or record sessions. The service is intended for professional tutors and educational organizations, not for finding tutors or students through a marketplace. Its Free Forever plan costs nothing and allows up to 2 students and 1 invoice per month. Pro costs $14 a month, billed monthly. TutorHive lists Android, iOS, and web platforms, and describes mobile access through a PWA.
