Penji vs Seemi

Penji provides scheduling software for college tutoring centers managing appointments, group classes, and drop-in services. Students can self-book, attend online, in-person, or hybrid events, and check into configured drop-in locations by email, ID, or card swipe. They can follow their queue position and estimated wait. Tutors can log attendance, while administrators can use session caps, no-show handling, feedback logs, in-app chat, and video calling integration. Penji connects with Google and Outlook calendars and video providers such as Zoom. The tutoring product includes more than 20 interactive dashboards and a real-time report builder. It is available as a desktop web application and in Android and iOS mobile formats. Penji states that it complies with FERPA when customer data includes covered education records, meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and does not sell student data. The free plan costs nothing, provides full platform access for up to five tutors or staff, and excludes SSO and IT integrations. Custom-quote pricing is based on active tutor count or annual student visits, with annual billing unless the contract specifies otherwise.

Seemi combines student management, lesson scheduling, CRM, automated billing, team management, and analytics for tutoring businesses. Its scheduling engine proposes student timetables using tutor availability and subject fit. The platform automates parent invoices, recurring subscriptions, and online payments.

The Startup Plan costs $50 a month, billed monthly, with one user and additional users priced at 8.00 USD each. A 14-day trial requires no credit card, and there is no free plan.
