Why choose TutorPe over WhatsApp-only tracking?

Tracking fees only inside WhatsApp feels simple until you cannot total overdue rupees, find last month’s UPI screenshot, or remember who got the reminder.

TutorPe does not send mystery messages from a business API bot. Reminders open WhatsApp on your phone, from your number, after you tap send. The difference is a ledger behind the chat: student, month, paid, balance, receipt.

Parents still do not download an app. You still do not run a full WhatsApp automation suite. You get a list of dues, then the same WhatsApp you already use.

Frequently asked questions

Does TutorPe auto-message parents without me?

No. You choose the student, edit the text, and send from your WhatsApp. That is intentional — so parents recognise your number and you stay in control of tone.

Can I still use WhatsApp broadcasts?

Yes, outside TutorPe if you want. Inside the app, bulk remind paces messages and still sends via your WhatsApp. It is not a replacement for WhatsApp Business API campaigns.

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.
