Classplus is a content and app platform: it gives an institute a branded app, hosts and sells courses, and handles the commerce around them. TutorDesk is an operations system for a physical or hybrid centre — enquiries, batches, fees, tests — and hosts no content at all.
These two are shortlisted together and are not really competitors. One is built for institutes becoming content businesses; the other for institutes running centres. The overlap is the administrative bit in the middle, which both do.
We publish TutorDesk, so the concessions are stated rather than implied.
Choose Classplus if you intend to sell recorded courses, reach students beyond your centre and run a branded app as a product in its own right. Choose TutorDesk if your revenue comes from batches taught at your centre and your problems are follow-up, collection and test turnaround. These are different businesses, and picking the wrong one costs a year.

| Fee instalment handling | Pro-rata, concessions as rules, renegotiation recorded | Supported |
| OMR and test turnaround | Same-day ranks, unmatched sheets reported | Online-oriented |
| Multi-branch and franchise | Shared policy, separate books, royalty | Supported |
Where will your revenue come from in three years — students sitting in your rooms, or students buying your content from anywhere?
If the answer is the second, Classplus is built for that and we are not. We would say so on a call rather than sell you an operations system and watch you outgrow it in a direction we do not support.
Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.
Some institutes do — content on one platform, centre operations on the other. It means two systems and two costs, which is worth it only if both sides of the business are substantial.
Students, batches, fee plans and test history import from standard exports. Content does not migrate because we do not host it; it stays wherever you put it.

Pricing is on the page, in the open, with the counting rule written next to it. Nobody has to book a call to find out what it costs.
