Why Growth Shouldn’t Cost You More
For tutoring centers in Southeast Asia, reaching the 1,000-student milestone is a major achievement that marks your transition from a small business to a regional enterprise. However, with many legacy platforms like Teachworks, this success comes with a steep price hike. Because Teachworks charges you for every single lesson scheduled, your software bill becomes a "tax" on your hard work.
At Tutearn, we believe in Scaling Without Friction. Here is how the two platforms compare once your business reaches the enterprise level.
The Pricing Breakdown: The 1,000-Student Comparison
In this scenario, we assume a high-volume center with 1,000 students, each taking 4 lessons per month (4,000 lessons total).
Pricing Metric | Teachworks (Growth Tier) | Tutearn (Scale Tier) |
Base Monthly Fee | $47.99 | $299.00 |
Per-Lesson Fee | $0.189 / lesson | $0.00 (Unlimited) |
Total Lesson Fees | $756.00 | $0.00 |
Branch Limit | Paid after 5th Branch | Unlimited Branches |
White-Labeling | Limited Branding | Full Brand Customization |
Total Monthly Cost | $803.99 | $299.00 |
1. The "Per-Lesson" Trap
Teachworks operates on a "Pay-As-You-Go" model. While it looks affordable for a handful of students, it scales aggressively. At 1,000 students taking 4,000 lessons a month, you are paying $756.00 just in lesson fees before you even touch your base subscription.
The Tutearn Advantage: We charge a predictable, flat rate. At $299.00 per month for 1,000 students, you get unlimited lessons. Whether you schedule 4,000 or 10,000 classes, your software cost never changes.
2. Save Over $500 Every Month
By switching from Teachworks to Tutearn at the 1,000-student level, you reclaim $504.99 per month.
Annual Savings: Over $6,000 per year.
This is significant enterprise capital that can be used to hire additional full-time administrative staff, open a new physical branch, or launch a major digital marketing campaign across the region.
3. Unlimited Branches: The Key to Multi-City Expansion
Teachworks allows up to 5 branches on their premium tiers but charges $35/month for every additional location thereafter. For center owners looking to dominate a city or a country with a franchise model, these costs act as a heavy "Branch Tax."
The Tutearn Advantage: All Tutearn plans include Unlimited Branches. Manage your flagship location and dozens of satellite branches from one unified dashboard without a single cent in additional location fees.
4. White-Label: Build Your Brand, Not Theirs
In the premium tutoring markets of Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia, elite parents expect a high-end experience from a 1,000+ student academy.
The Tutearn Advantage: We provide Full White-Labeling. Your parent and student portals feature Your Logo, Your Domain, and Your Colors, giving you the appearance of a major international academy. Teachworks keeps their branding front and center, making your large-scale business look like it's built on a rented template.
