Spoteca vs TuitionDesk

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.
