TutorBird Alternatives for Singapore Tutors (2026)

TutorBird is a well-made tutoring app from Canada — scheduling, invoicing, a student portal, SMS reminders and payroll. Tutors in Singapore usually look for an alternative for three reasons: parents here pay by PayNow, they want prices in SGD, and they want PSLE, O-Level and A-Level dates on their calendar. Here are the alternatives worth trying, based on each product's own website (checked October 2026).

TutorBird alternatives at a glance

1. TuitionCRM — built in Singapore, free to start

TuitionCRM covers what most tutors use TutorBird for — repeating lessons, group classes, make-ups, invoices and a page for parents — but built around how Singapore tuition works:

• Your own PayNow QR on every invoice, with the amount and invoice number filled in. Card payments with automatic monthly charging too, through Stripe.
• Singapore public holidays and PSLE / O-Level / A-Level / IB dates on your calendar, and exam countdowns on each parent's page.
• A private page for every parent — no app, no password — with lessons, invoices and make-ups.
• Send invoices on WhatsApp in one tap, and an income statement with IRAS Form B figures at tax time.
• Free for up to 5 students, then S$59 a month for up to 30.

Where TutorBird is ahead: SMS reminders (TuitionCRM sends email), PayPal, and payroll for tutors. Full side-by-side: TuitionCRM vs TutorBird.

2. Teachworks — for bigger tutoring businesses

Teachworks suits larger businesses that want online accounts for parents, students and teachers, and multiple branches. It charges a monthly fee plus a fee per student-lesson. PayNow and Singapore exam dates aren't listed. See TuitionCRM vs Teachworks or our list of Teachworks alternatives.

3. Skooly — for established Singapore centres

Skooly is made in Singapore, has PayNow with automatic reconciliation and a branded parent app. It's priced for centres — from US$124 a month billed yearly for up to 100 students, with a 14-day pilot. See TuitionCRM vs Skooly.

4. SchoolTracs — for multi-branch centres
