GuruDesk vs TutorOne

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.

TutorOne is tuition-centre management software for Indian tutors and coaching centres. It brings attendance, fee collection, batch scheduling, progress reports, online tests, and a parent portal together, with access on Android, iOS, and web. Tests accept multiple-choice, short-answer, and file-upload questions; multiple-choice answers are auto-graded, and Excel question banks can be imported. Parents can use a browser portal to check schedules, attendance, fees, receipts, and progress without an app. Razorpay handles UPI, card, and netbanking payments; TutorOne says it takes no commission on collected fees. It also generates GST-compliant invoice PDFs. The free plan covers one tutor and 15 students. Paid plans start at ₹199/mo, and the Starter plan lists two tutors and 75 students. Accounts can export student, attendance, invoice, and payment data to Excel or CSV. After cancellation, TutorOne retains data for 90 days before deletion.
