GuruDesk vs Tutr Desk

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.

Tutr Desk is a management service for Pakistani tutors, available on Android, iOS, and the web. It organizes student photos, parent information, subjects, and fees; the fee tracker records monthly payments in PKR and supports WhatsApp reminders. Tutors can mark daily attendance and review monthly reports, assign homework, track submissions, and send bulk WhatsApp alerts. Its AI Assistant generates report cards and study plans. Parents can access information through a magic link, while tutors can create PDF invoices to share on WhatsApp. Weekly recurring sessions can be set to generate automatically, and analytics cover revenue, attendance, and student performance. WhatsApp communication uses links, with messages sent from the user's device. The privacy policy says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, protected with Supabase row-level security, and accessible only with authentication. The free plan costs nothing and supports up to 10 students. Pro costs 1,100 PKR a month for unlimited students and priority support.
