Why choose TutorPe over Excel / spreadsheets?

Excel is free — but on your phone it breaks when fees are collected between batches, in UPI screenshots, and in cash at the studio door.

TutorPe is for owners who outgrew a notebook but do not want a demo that starts with 'module configuration.' Whether you run maths coaching, a dance batch, or a cricket academy, you get one overdue total, WhatsApp reminders, and PDF receipts without maintaining VLOOKUP at midnight.

You can still export to Excel anytime. Many centres import their old sheet once, then never open the laptop for daily fee work again.

Frequently asked questions

Should I quit Excel completely?

Not necessarily. Use TutorPe for daily mark-paid, reminders, and receipts on your phone. Export to Excel when your CA asks for a sheet.

Is TutorPe only for academic tuition?

No. TutorPe is built first for tutors and small coaching centres. The same fee ledger also fits skill academies — yoga, dance, music, martial arts, art, sports — and paid study halls that collect seat rent in India. It is not a school ERP or a book-issue library system.

Is TutorPe really free compared to paid ERPs?

Core fee management stays free: unlimited learners, WhatsApp reminders, receipts, Fee Intelligence AI, attendance, and reports. No credit card to start.
