The Teachworks alternative that comes whole.
Teachworks is a capable scheduling and billing system — with much of its power sold as per-teacher fees and à-la-carte add-ons. Pillar OS ships everything in one flat price, then goes further: AI progress reports, a branded family portal, community messaging, and a two-way GoHighLevel sync.
Teachworks charges a base plan plus per-teacher fees, with many capabilities enabled as individually priced add-ons.
Pillar OS is one flat platform fee set by student count, from $35/mo (CAD), with every feature included at every tier.
Only Pillar OS writes AI progress reports from session data and syncs two-way with your GoHighLevel CRM.

CAD. A flat platform fee set by your active student count, from $35/mo for up to 50 students and scaling by band to $599/mo at 1,000 (quoted beyond). Every feature included at every band: scheduling, billing, branded portal, tutor management, AI progress reports, community messaging, and GoHighLevel sync. SMS, storage and AI usage are billed separately. No add-ons, no per-teacher fees, no cut of your revenue.
Base subscription plus per-teacher fees; a number of features are separately priced add-ons, so the real monthly cost depends on headcount and which add-ons you enable.
