Three pricing models
- Per student lesson: Teachworks adds a fee to every student lesson on top of a base price.
- Percentage of revenue: TutorCruncher takes up to 1% of monthly revenue.
- Per seat: TutorBird charges for each additional tutor or staff member.
- Flat tier: Docet charges one monthly price for each plan.
A worked example
The scenario: 3 locations, 200 active students, 800 student lessons a month, 25 staff, and $60,000 of tuition collected each month.
| Platform | Pricing basis | Monthly cost in this scenario |
|---|---|---|
| Teachworks Premium | $187.99 + $0.065 per student lesson | $239.99 |
| TutorCruncher Enterprise | Custom, from $240/month (branches are Enterprise) | From $240, quote required |
| TutorBird | $16.95 + $4.95 per extra tutor or staff member | $135.75 |
| Docet Growth | Flat | $199 |
When you grow
Double lessons to 1,600 a month and Teachworks Premium rises to $291.99. TutorCruncher's revenue share rises with collections (up to 1% on lower tiers). TutorBird rises $4.95 with every hire.
Docet stays at $199 until you exceed the Growth limits of 5 locations, 250 monthly active students and 50 seats.
Predictability
A flat price lets you budget per location. Annual billing on Growth is $1,990, which is two months free.
