Why choose TutorPe over Notebook / fee register?

A fee register works until the second copy appears, a page tears, or a parent swears they paid in cash last Tuesday.

TutorPe is that register on your phone: who paid, who has a balance, who is overdue. You still talk to parents on WhatsApp — the app opens the chat with a message you can edit. It does not replace teaching, and it is not a school ERP.

Keep the notebook as a backup if you want. Most tutors stop writing ticks once the dashboard matches the money in the account.

Frequently asked questions

I have only 15 students — do I need this?

A notebook can work at 15 until partial UPI starts. TutorPe is free, so switching when the register fights you does not cost a licence. We do not force features you will not open.

Will parents notice a new app?

No. They get WhatsApp from your number and, if you share it, a PDF receipt. No parent login.

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.
