The TutorCruncher alternative that doesn’t take a cut.
TutorCruncher is agency software with strong payroll — and plans that have historically taken a percentage of the revenue you process. Pillar OS charges one flat price, keeps 100% of your revenue yours, and adds AI progress reports, community messaging, and a branded family portal.
TutorCruncher is built around the agency model, with plan tiers that have historically included a percentage fee on processed revenue.
Pillar OS is flat: a platform fee by student count, from $35/mo (CAD). Your revenue is not our pricing model.
Only Pillar OS includes AI progress reports, community messaging, and native two-way GoHighLevel sync.

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.
Tiered plans aimed at agencies; historically, lower tiers include a percentage fee on the revenue processed through the platform, so costs scale with your billings.

Good to know
Is Pillar OS a good TutorCruncher alternative?
If you run a tutoring business in North America and want flat pricing, a branded family portal, AI progress reports, and GoHighLevel CRM sync in one system, yes. If your model is a classic UK-style agency with heavy contractor payroll needs, TutorCruncher remains a purpose-built option.
Does Pillar OS take a percentage of my revenue?
No. Pillar OS charges a flat platform fee by active student count, from $35/month (CAD). Payment processing goes through your own processor, and your revenue is never part of our pricing.
Can you migrate my data from TutorCruncher?
Yes — white-glove migration is included. We move students, families, programs, and history for you, and most businesses are live in days.
What does Pillar OS have that TutorCruncher doesn’t?
