Spoteca vs Trakist

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.

Trakist is an iOS app for private tutors managing students, lessons, attendance, and payments. Tutors can create one-time or recurring sessions and record schedule changes and cancellations. Attendance works for individual and group sessions, with attended, rescheduled, or canceled statuses. Marking a student as attended automatically deducts one session credit for that student.

Invoices can include a logo and business details, and Trakist’s invoicing page describes automatic payments with Stripe. The free plan includes unlimited students, up to two classes, payments, scheduling, attendance, student progress, iCloud Sync, import and export, and customizations. The Monthly plan adds unlimited classes, invoicing, automatic payments, and automatic invoice generation for $4.99 a month. The Yearly plan costs $49.99 a year and includes everything in Monthly, with a listed free trial month and 20% savings. The maker says the app is currently available only in the App Store. It describes the company as a small independent team that began as a family business. The privacy policy says Trakist does not collect, store, use, or share information, though support emails may be retained for quality assurance.
