Choosing the right software can make or break a growing tutoring business. The right platform saves hours of admin every week, keeps tutors and clients happy, and makes sure everyone gets paid on time.
TutorCruncher and MeritHub both help you run tutoring online, but they start from very different places. MeritHub began as a virtual classroom, whereas TutorCruncher was built from day one to run the business side of tutoring.
Here's how they compare on features, usability and pricing.
TutorCruncher is an all-in-one tutoring management platform that’s been used by 1,800+ tutoring companies to date. It handles scheduling, client management, invoicing, tutor payroll and reporting, with online lessons through Bobbin, our AI-enabled lesson tool.
MeritHub is a virtual classroom and learning management system (LMS) for tutoring companies, schools, and corporate training teams.
Spreadsheets and calendar apps work for a handful of clients. Add more tutors and they start costing you time, money and missed lessons. Tutor management software brings scheduling, billing and communication into one place, so you spend less time on admin and more time growing.
TutorCruncher schedules one-off and recurring lessons across multiple tutors and branches, and clients can book through your website. Every lesson feeds straight into invoicing and tutor pay.
MeritHub covers one-to-one, group and recurring classes, lets clients book lessons, and sends automatic reminders to reduce no-shows.
TutorCruncher customers can run online lessons through Bobbin, which integrates Lessonspaces’ interactive online whiteboard with subject-specific tools and more. It also creates lesson plans and automated lesson reports for students, tutors and parents.
MeritHub has its own interactive whiteboard for online lessons.
TutorCruncher automates the full money cycle: client invoicing, online payments, prepaid credit and tutor payroll. Split payments pay your tutors and take your commission automatically, which is essential for tutoring agencies.
MeritHub supports invoices, subscriptions, online payments and credit management.
TutorCruncher includes a customizable client pipeline to track enquiries from first contact to paying client.
MeritHub lets you manage clients and parents and share lesson feedback, but doesn't offer a dedicated sales pipeline.
TutorCruncher reports on revenue, margins, tutor performance and client activity, giving you a clear view of business health.
MeritHub focuses on the classroom: attendance reports, activity dashboards and lesson-hour analytics.
MeritHub is quick to start with if live teaching is your priority, and reviewers praise its ease of use. Some mention limited admin customization, however.
TutorCruncher runs your whole business and can be set up in as little as a day with our team on hand to help. We're also rated 4.6 on Trustpilot.
TutorCruncher pricing starts from $30/£25 per month, with a two-week free trial and personalized demo available.
MeritHub doesn't list its prices. Its four plans are priced by teachers, concurrent sessions, participant hours or active students, so you'll need a quote from sales. That makes costs harder to forecast as you grow.
Choose TutorCruncher if:
If you run a tutoring business and want one system for operations, payments and online lessons, TutorCruncher is the stronger choice.
MeritHub is a capable virtual classroom, but tutoring businesses need more than a place to teach. TutorCruncher brings scheduling, billing, payroll, CRM and reporting together, with Bobbin for online lessons, so you can run and grow your business from one platform.
