If you’re evaluating ClassCard and SchoolTracs for your Singapore tuition or enrichment centre, this page compares them on the points that decide the outcome — with ClassCard claims checked against its own site and live app store listings as of July 2026.
Key takeaways
- Separate apps for Staff and Student: ClassCard ships distinct Staff and Student apps, both with live, current App Store and Google Play listings as of July 2026.
- In-app messaging shipped on both apps: ClassCard's Staff app added in-app chat in a 2026 update; its Student app supports messaging too. SchoolTracs' Teacher app also includes messaging.
- WhatsApp needs your own Twilio account and number: ClassCard's WhatsApp integration runs through Twilio, so the centre sets up its own approved WhatsApp Business number and Twilio account. SchoolTracs' WhatsApp integration doesn't require a separate account.
Why SchoolTracs stands out: both support a lead pipeline and PayNow, but for Singapore tuition and enrichment centres specifically, SchoolTracs adds:
- Holiday-aware advance invoicing and a connected POS with linked make-ups — included on every plan.
- Published, flat Singapore-dollar pricing from SGD 55/month per branch.

Where ClassCard differs
ClassCard is made by ReportCard Technologies FZ LLC, headquartered in Dubai (its website also references “Classcard, Inc.”), and is a horizontal class-scheduling tool used by sports academies, swim schools, dance studios, music schools and tutoring centres worldwide — not a Singapore-tuition-specific product, though it does list a Singapore contact number.
- POS is real, but checkout isn't fully self-service: course-selling and invoice-with-payment-link are confirmed, but a self-checkout step separate from invoicing isn't.
- Several billing details aren't publicly confirmed: holiday-aware invoicing, multiple fee models and package expiry dates aren't confirmed, and automatic next-period invoicing is gated to the Growth plan (USD 199/month) and up.
- Scheduling basics are solid, but conflict checks aren't confirmed: drag-and-drop timetables and waitlists are confirmed, but capacity is only location-level (no per-class cap), and student/teacher/room conflict checks aren't documented.
- Make-ups can't be prorated once invoiced: a package can't be adjusted or prorated once it's invoiced, and postpone/skip, split-lesson and parent-self-arranged make-ups aren't documented.
Switching from ClassCard
What to validate first
- Billing flexibility: confirm directly whether holiday-aware invoicing, multiple fee models and package expiry dates exist today — none is documented on ClassCard's public pages.
- Scheduling conflict checks: if you rely on automatic teacher/room double-booking checks, confirm this directly — only location-level capacity is documented.
- Make-up proration: if you need to adjust or prorate a make-up after a package is already invoiced, confirm this directly — this isn't documented on ClassCard's public pages.
Migration sequence
- Export students, enrolments, packages and outstanding invoices from ClassCard.
- Import students, fees and rooms into a SchoolTracs trial via CSV, then rebuild the timetable and fee rules.
- Cut over at a billing boundary only after test totals and workflows reconcile.
Frequently asked questions
Is classcardapp.com the same product as the “Classcard” flashcard app with a million downloads? No. classcardapp.com is a class-scheduling SaaS from ReportCard Technologies FZ LLC, Dubai. A separate, unrelated Korean vocabulary-flashcard app also called Classcard has over 1 million downloads on Google Play — any large download or rating figures found online likely belong to that different product.
Does ClassCard support PayNow? Yes, for one-time payments. ClassCard’s own PayNow integration page states PayNow is available in Singapore for one-time payments and recommends a different gateway, such as Stripe, for recurring billing. SchoolTracs’ own PayNow support is also for one-time payments, not recurring billing.
Can I trial SchoolTracs with my real data? Yes — free trial, no credit card, with CSV import of your existing students, fees and rooms.
