Spoteca vs TutorHQ

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.

TutorHQ is a free, offline-first tuition and coaching management app for private tutors, coaching centers, and home educators on Android and iOS. It calculates fees and prorated charges using anniversary-date or calendar-month billing, then creates ISO A4 PDF invoices with dynamic UPI QR codes. Parents can pay those invoices through Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, or BHIM. QR attendance applies a three-second duplicate-scan debounce and marks students late when scanned more than 15 minutes after batch start. Other tools cover batch capacity, sibling fee linking, student ID cards, student exits, and alumni. TutorHQ lists UPI payments, WhatsApp payment links, USB HID barcode scanners, and fingerprint-scanner discovery for Mantra, Morpho, and SecuGen. The maker says there is no tracking, analytics SDK, or cloud telemetry, and data remains on the device. Scheduled encrypted backups, JSON export, and cross-platform restore are available. The free plan has no student or batch limits, no monthly charges, and no in-app ads. Android requires version 8.0 or later.
