Penji vs Teach 'n Go

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.

Teach 'n Go is a school management platform for education businesses, academies, and learning centres. It combines scheduling, attendance, payments, bookings, messaging, reporting, and student and parent portals.

Its Android, iOS, and web access includes a mobile app where students, parents, and teachers can view schedules, receive updates, mark attendance, and add lesson notes. Every subscription includes AI school setup, AI leads import, an AI support assistant, and 15 Ask AI questions per school per month. The Pro plan adds unlimited Ask AI questions, AI-drafted messages, weekly digests, fee recovery, student attention flags, and same-day alerts. The software is available in 24 languages. Plans cover up to 2,000 live students, with custom plans available above that. A 14-day trial is offered, but there is no free plan.
