Your software bills you in US dollars and has never heard of the QST.
Every month the exchange rate changes what you pay. Families ask why their invoice is in English, and you add the GST and QST by hand so your accountant doesn’t send it back. Small things, every week, because the software was made for somewhere else.
11 / 172
11 of the 172 public complaints we read about tutoring software are about this.
Three of those complaints, in our words. Each link goes to the source.
A Canadian centre switched tools to be billed in Canadian dollars, so its costs stop swinging with the exchange rate.
Owners have asked since 2019 for the software in other languages. One wrote in 2025: “I really need this.”
A Canadian studio wants Canadian ways to pay, like debit and Interac e-Transfer.
Here’s how Pillar OS handles it
Made in Montréal for centres here: the whole app, every email and every invoice in French or English, each family in its own language; prices in Canadian dollars; GST and QST calculated on the invoice; your Interac instructions on every invoice; and the database sits in Montréal.
What Pillar OS doesn’t do yet
Some of the services we use process data outside Canada (our privacy policy lists them); the database itself is in Montréal.
Good to know
Can one family get French and another English?
Yes. Each family has its own language for emails, invoices and the portal, on the same account.
How much does Pillar OS cost?
One fee set by your active students, in Canadian dollars: $35 a month for up to 50, then by band up to $599 at 1,000. No fee per tutor, per lesson or per family login, and no share of your revenue. Texting, AI use, extra storage, a website, extra locations and the GoHighLevel connection are billed separately, only if you use them.
We use other software or spreadsheets today. How do we move?
On a setup call, we bring your students, families and tutors over from your export or your spreadsheets and book your first sessions with you. Past lessons and invoices stay in your old system’s export, so keep it.
Does it work in French?
Yes. The whole product runs in French or English, for your team and for each family in its own language. GST and QST are calculated on the invoice.
Get your centre running with us, in one call.
About 45 minutes: we load your students and book your first sessions together, in English or French.
