Trakist vs Tutorbase

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.

Tutorbase is cloud-based software for tutoring businesses and educational organizations. It combines scheduling, lesson management, billing, invoicing, payment tracking, CRM, lead capture, reporting, payroll and multi-location support. Its calendar includes recurring and group lessons, trial lessons, room management, teacher availability and attendance tracking. Billing tools cover automated invoices, packages, prepaid or postpaid billing, flexible pricing, cancellation fees and multiple payment methods. Students can self-book; the service also supports online payments and two-way calendar sync, with WhatsApp and Google Calendar Sync listed as integrations. The Free Core plan has no monthly subscription and includes all features without feature restrictions; invoicing through the system incurs a 1% fee. Payment processing charges for cards and bank transfers come from the payment provider, not Tutorbase. Tutorbase is available on Android, iOS and the web. The company says onboarding includes three weeks of support, data migration, individual calls, staff training and same-day responses. It also describes HTTPS connections using TLS 1.2 or higher, encryption at rest for its primary database, and role-based access controls.
