If you’re evaluating Edulabs and SchoolTracs for your Singapore tuition or enrichment centre, this page compares them on the points that decide the outcome — with Edulabs claims taken from their own public website, edulabs.com.sg (checked July 2026), so you can verify them yourself.
Key takeaways
- Course and product POS: SchoolTracs previews lesson dates, lets staff arrange make-ups, recalculates the amount and accepts products in the same checkout.
- Both automate future invoices: SchoolTracs calculates the next month or term from the timetable and fee; Edulabs subscriptions also generate future lesson-based invoices, calculated as lessons × the per-lesson fee.
- Rescheduling and included apps: SchoolTracs keeps detailed make-up changes linked to the original lesson and includes the Student App (used by parents and students) and Teacher App.
- Track record and support: SchoolTracs has public app-download evidence and a Singapore hotline. Edulabs documents local portals, forms and implementation consultancy.
Why SchoolTracs stands out: Both systems document future monthly or term invoice automation. SchoolTracs' stronger distinction is what happens around it:
- Staff can change make-ups, see lesson dates and the amount update, and add products in the same POS checkout.
- Detailed linked rescheduling and included native apps.
- A Singapore hotline and public adoption evidence.

Where Edulabs differs
- POS not confirmed, but billing automation is strong: a course-and-product POS with make-up recalculation isn't described; holiday-aware invoicing, next-period invoice automation and multiple fee models are confirmed.
- Scheduling flexibility is mixed: class scheduling and lesson reminders are confirmed, but capacity/conflict checks and multiple timetable views aren't, and its make-up workflow only documents parent booking and cancellation — not a staff-side linked recalculation.
- What Edulabs documents beyond that: Singapore-focused portals, forms and implementation consultancy support, plus published pricing from S$300/month on its own site — though included native apps aren't confirmed there.
Switching from Edulabs
Plan the move around a billing boundary so old and new balances remain easy to reconcile:
What to validate first
- Course and product POS: test real checkout cases with lesson dates, make-ups, recalculated fees and products in the same sale.
- Future billing and balances: test the next invoice with calculated lesson dates and holiday exclusions, then reconcile unpaid invoices, credits and package balances.
- Scheduling and rescheduling: recreate the timetable and verify capacity, conflicts and linked make-up workflows.
Migration sequence
- Export students, enrolments and outstanding balances from Edulabs.
- Import students, fees and rooms into a SchoolTracs trial, then rebuild the timetable and fee rules.
- Cut over at a billing boundary only after the test totals and workflows reconcile.
This keeps the decision focused on complete workflows rather than feature names: checkout, future invoicing, linked rescheduling, apps and support should all work with your own data before you switch.
