MyDriveTime vs Stych

MyDriveTime is a diary and administration app for driving instructors and schools, available on Android, iOS and the web. Instructors can schedule, cancel and rebook lessons and practical tests, record personal commitments, and share diary information with Google, Apple and Outlook calendars while choosing how much detail to share. Lesson tools include customizable syllabuses, reflective logs and journey tracking. Invited students can use a separate student app to track lessons and access instructor-selected resources. For finances, users can record income and expenses, track student balances, save receipt photos and export accounts in a standard spreadsheet format; configurable payment types are aligned with HMRC categories. Privacy Mode shows a diary without details. The company says its service has been available without interruption since October 2014 and invests in data and security systems. Support is available by email, phone or chat on weekdays from 9:30–5:00. A 30-day trial requires no card and can be cancelled at any time. The company also says it will migrate records from another system at no cost.
