OPS vs Spoteca

OPS is a management platform for orchestras, bands, and music schools, bringing scores, member records, instrument inventory, accounting, and documents together. Its score library uses OCR to identify scanned scores and create a separate PDF for each instrument part. Member management supports custom fields and groups, bulk imports and exports, and optional user accounts. Instrument records can include loan contracts, repairs and maintenance, QR labels, photos, and waiting lists. The music school module handles enrolments, courses, attendance, grades, report cards, and a parent portal. Accounting follows the French Plan Comptable Général for associations and includes FEC export. Setlists can be shared with a public link or embedded on a website; ensembles can cross-share scores through the Mediathek. OPS Scores is an iPad app with Apple Pencil annotation, offline access, and Bluetooth page-turn pedal support. OPS Mobile for iPhone supports QR scanning, score browsing, inventory and loan management, member lookup, and an accounting overview. The maker says data is hosted on OVH servers in Strasbourg, stays in Europe, and is GDPR-compliant. Events, calendars, and in-product communication are marked as coming soon.

Spoteca is a cloud-based management platform for music schools, covering students, teachers, lessons, schedules, payments, attendance, and communications. Its shared calendar handles recurring lessons, scheduling conflicts, rooms, teacher availability, and attendance. Billing features include custom plans, automatic invoices, payment tracking, discounts, financial reports, and teacher pay tracking. Schools can also manage group classes, events and recitals, curricula, lesson notes, milestones, and student progress reports. Role-specific account views serve administrators, teachers, students, and guardians, with messaging. Reports cover enrollment trends, new students, dropouts, teacher performance, financial results, and student flags, with PDF or CSV exports. Schools can bulk-import records from Excel, and customers retain ownership of their data and can export a full copy before cancellation. Spoteca is web-based. Its Free plan costs nothing forever and supports up to 10 billable enrollments. Growth costs $1 a month per billable enrollment per branch, capped at $100/month per branch, and includes a 30-day trial. Scale costs $100 a month for 101 or more active enrollments.
