Why centres switch to Pillar OS
No fee on your payments
Families pay into your own Stripe or Global Payments account. Pillar OS takes no percentage.
French for every family
Each family gets its emails, invoices and portal in its own language, French or English, on the same account.
Families book, not just request
Families book directly by subject, tutor or calendar, within the rules you set. With Oases, families send a request that your staff confirms.
Set up on one call
Oases offers three free help sessions, then data entry at $50 an hour. We move your students, families and tutors for you on a setup call.
Switching from Oases Online? We move your students for you.
On a setup call, we bring your students, families and tutors over from your export and book your first sessions with you. Past lessons, invoices and notes stay in your old system’s export, so keep it.
Good to know
Is Pillar OS a good Oases Online alternative?
If you run a centre in Canada, want French for your families, and don’t want a fee on your payments, yes. If your program depends on custom reports or government reporting, Oases is built for that, and Pillar OS doesn’t have custom reports.
Can you move my data from Oases?
Yes. On a setup call, we bring your students, families and tutors over from your Oases export and book your first sessions with you. Past lessons, invoices and notes don’t move, so keep that export for your records.
How do the prices compare?
Both charge by active students. Oases: from $99 a month for up to 25 active students, plus 0.25% on Stripe payments. Pillar OS: from $35 a month in CAD for up to 50, with nothing added to your payments. On Pillar OS, texting, AI use, extra storage, a website, extra locations and the GoHighLevel connection are billed separately, only if you use them.
Does Oases work in French?
Its site offers Spanish for learning plans and progress reports, and we found no mention of French. Pillar OS runs in French and English for every family.
