Teachworks charges a monthly plan fee plus a fee for every student lesson. SprintUp charges per active student, with live classes, AI curriculum tools, a school website and unlimited teachers included, and takes nothing from what students pay you. On the subscription line Teachworks is often cheaper; on what you get for it, the comparison goes the other way. Both are below, with the arithmetic.
Scheduling and management software for teaching businesses. Teachworks describes its customers as tutoring centres, language schools, test-preparation, music and driving schools, and lists schedules, tutors, students and billing as what it manages. It is priced in US dollars as a monthly plan plus a fee per student lesson, with a 21-day free trial and no free plan. Its pricing page does not state a fee on student payments, a data-hosting region, or a classroom, AI or website feature, and we do not assert any of those either way.
A school platform for language schools, tutoring centres and independent schools: campus, classes, live video, student portal, AI curriculum tools, school websites, payments and a curriculum marketplace, with one student record underneath. Priced per active student on Academy — €99 a month for the first 25, then €4 each to 100 and €3 beyond — with unlimited teachers, a free plan for one educator and ten students, and 0% taken from what students pay you.

"Not listed" means the feature does not appear on Teachworks' pricing page; it may exist elsewhere in the product. Teachworks prices as published on teachworks.com/pricing on 23 September 2026. SprintUp prices exclude VAT; domains sold separately.
Monthly subscription only, before payment processing. Teachworks assumes eight student lessons per student per month — two a week — because its per-lesson fee makes the answer depend on attendance. Halve the lessons and the per-lesson component halves; double them and it doubles. SprintUp's figure does not change with lessons.
| Active students | SprintUp Academy | Teachworks, 8 lessons per student |
|---|---|---|
| 25 students | €99 / month | Starter $80.49 · Growth $85.79 · Premium $200.99 |
| 100 students | €399 / month | Starter $272.49 · Growth $199.19 · Premium $239.99 |
| 300 students | €999 / month | Starter $784.49 · Growth $501.59 · Premium $343.99 |
Read honestly: at 300 students, Teachworks Premium is about a third of SprintUp's price on this line. What sits inside SprintUp's €999 that is not listed on Teachworks' pricing page — live classes, unlimited AI generation, up to five websites, the student portal, the marketplace, unlimited teachers and 0% on student payments — is what you are comparing it against, along with whatever you currently pay for those separately. A school that needs none of them should weigh Teachworks seriously.
SprintUp includes live video classes in every campus, with the link generated for each session. Teachworks' pricing page does not list a classroom, so an online school on Teachworks is budgeting for a second product.
AI course outlines, lesson plans, activities and quizzes are unlimited on SprintUp's relax lane, on every plan including the free one. Teachworks' pricing page lists no AI tools.
Programme pages, enrolment and payment on your own domain, up to five sites on Academy. That is where local search is won, and it is not listed on Teachworks' pricing page.
SprintUp counts active students, not lessons. A student who attends four times a week costs the same as one who attends twice. On Teachworks the per-lesson component doubles.
You want scheduling and billing and nothing else, and you already have a classroom tool, materials and a website you are keeping.
You bill in US dollars and your students are in the United States or Canada.
Your model is one-to-one with few lessons per student per month, so the per-lesson fee stays small and Premium's $0.065 rate is cheap at volume.
You run a driving school or a music school — Teachworks lists both; SprintUp is built for academic and language teaching.
On the subscription line, often yes. At 300 students taking two lessons a week, Teachworks Premium works out at about $344 a month against SprintUp Academy at €999. The difference is what each includes: SprintUp's price covers live video classes, unlimited AI curriculum generation, up to five school websites, the student portal, the curriculum marketplace and unlimited teachers, with no fee on what students pay you. Teachworks lists scheduling, students, tutors and billing, and its pricing page does not list those other things. Which is cheaper depends on whether you need them and what you currently pay for them separately.
A monthly plan fee — $16.49 Starter, $47.99 Growth, $187.99 Premium — plus a per-student-lesson fee of $0.320, $0.189 or $0.065 respectively, as published on their pricing page. The per-lesson fee means the cost rises with how often students attend: a school running four lessons a week per student pays roughly double the per-lesson component of one running two. Additional branches are $35 a month each on Premium. There is a 21-day free trial and no free plan.
By active students in a running class each month. Academy is €99 a month for the first 25, €4 each up to 100 and €3 beyond, with unlimited teachers and up to five websites; paying yearly gives twelve months for the price of ten. Pro is €29 a month for one educator and up to fifty students. The free plan is one educator and ten students, permanently. On every plan, students pay you through Stripe and SprintUp takes 0%.
Its pricing page does not state a percentage fee on student payments, and we do not claim one. What it does state is the per-student-lesson fee, which is a usage meter rather than a revenue share. SprintUp takes 0% of student payments on every plan; standard Stripe processing fees apply.
When you want a scheduling and billing system only, already have your video, teaching materials and website elsewhere and are happy to keep them, bill in US dollars, and run a model with relatively few lessons per student per month, where per-lesson pricing stays small. It also lists driving and music schools among its customers, which SprintUp is not built for.
