Prime Timetable vs Untis

Prime Timetable provides automatic and manual timetabling for schools, universities, and similar institutions. Users can schedule multiple weeks at flexible times, move timetable cards in master and individual views, and divide classes into groups for electives. Its generator can account for pinned cards and forbidden time slots, then optimize teacher and student loads, gaps, room use, and building moves. Timetables can be customized, accessed from any device, printed as master or individual schedules, and exported to formats and apps. Data can be imported by copy and paste. The maker says timetables are backed up every 24 hours and the service is used in over 120 countries. The free plan is for evaluation and includes a web app for all devices, premium support, and a 30-day trial period; it requires an internet connection. Commercial plans enable offline work. Basic is for small and medium schools with up to 40 teachers, while Premium is for larger and campus schools with up to 100 teachers. Both commercial plans offer a web app and premium support, with pricing dependent on the selected plan duration.

WebUntis is an online school solution for managing timetables, substitution schedules, and communication among schools, teachers, students, and families. The base package provides individual timetables, daily-updated cover schedules, messaging, exam administration, and reports.

XML interfaces allow import and export, and compatible systems named by Untis include SchILD, ASV, Sokrates, edoo.sys, and Atlantis.
