We believe in honest comparisons. Teachworks has real advantages — especially if you run a multi-tutor business.
Teachworks is purpose-built for tutoring companies. It handles employee management, payroll, lesson assignments, and admin-level oversight for teams of tutors. TutorTab is built for individual tutors managing their own practice.
Teachworks includes detailed lesson notes, student progress reports, and academic tracking features. If parents expect formal written progress reports, Teachworks has this built in. TutorTab focuses on scheduling and reminders.
Teachworks has been around for years and has an established user base of tutoring businesses. If you prefer a more mature product with a longer history, that's worth considering.
$0/month at any volume. Teachworks starts at $16.49 and adds $0.32 per lesson, so a busy month costs more, and a quiet one still costs $16.49.
Teachworks charges $16.49/month plus $0.32 per lesson — so costs rise as you grow. TutorTab is free at any volume, and free in the months you teach nobody.
Teachworks adds $0.32 per lesson on top of the monthly fee. At 20 lessons/month, that's an extra $6.40 — bringing the real cost to $22.89. TutorTab charges nothing, at any volume.
TutorTab costs you $0/month — always. Whether you collect through the app or not, scheduling, reminders, and record-keeping are free. Teachworks charges $16.49/month even during summer break.
Create a Google Calendar event with a parent as a guest, and TutorTab detects it and asks if it's a session. Confirm, and it becomes a full session with reminders — no need to open the dashboard.
