If you’re evaluating OClass and SchoolTracs for your Singapore tuition, enrichment or dance/fitness centre, this page compares them on the points that decide the outcome — with OClass claims taken from its own public website (oclass.app) and live app store listings, checked July 2026, so you can verify them yourself.
Key takeaways
- Course and product POS: SchoolTracs previews lesson dates, arranges make-ups, recalculates the amount and accepts products in the same checkout — not described on OClass's tuition-centre page.
- Automated advance invoicing and PayNow: SchoolTracs generates the next month or term invoice from the timetable and fee, with holidays excluded; this isn't confirmed for OClass. Both support PayNow.
- Make-up workflow: SchoolTracs links make-up changes to the original lesson. OClass's tuition-centre page doesn't describe a linked make-up workflow — and OClass positions itself across verticals (gyms, dance studios) rather than tuition-only.
- Support and apps: SchoolTracs offers a published Singapore hotline. OClass has two native apps (OClass Advantage, OClass Ignite) confirmed via live store listings.
Why SchoolTracs stands out: Both support PayNow and offer staff/student apps. For tuition and enrichment centres specifically, SchoolTracs adds:
- A connected POS and linked make-up workflow — staff can change make-ups, see lesson dates and the amount update, and add products in the same checkout.
- Holiday-aware advance invoicing.
- Published per-branch pricing.

Where OClass differs
OClass positions itself as “Singapore’s Leading Gym, Dance, and School Management System,” serving dance studios, gyms and wellness clubs alongside tuition/enrichment centres.
- POS and billing flexibility unconfirmed: make-up recalculation, holiday-aware invoicing, multiple fees per course, refunds and package expiry aren't described on its tuition-centre page; PayNow and per-student invoicing are confirmed.
- No linked make-up workflow confirmed: real-time scheduling and multi-channel booking are documented, but a make-up process linked to the original lesson, and capacity/conflict checks, are not.
- Two apps are confirmed live, but support and pricing aren't public: OClass Advantage and OClass Ignite are live on the App Store and Google Play, but multi-branch reporting and published pricing aren't confirmed.
Switching from OClass
What to validate first
- Checkout and flexible billing: test whether OClass's POS previews lesson dates and recalculates for make-ups and multiple fees in the same sale — none of this is confirmed on its public pages.
- Make-up policy: if your centre runs a formal make-up/rescheduling process, confirm how (or whether) OClass supports it before assuming parity with SchoolTracs' linked workflow.
- Total cost: request OClass's current pricing directly, since no public pricing page is currently available to compare against SchoolTracs' published bands.
Migration sequence
- Export students, enrolments and outstanding balances from OClass.
- 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 the test totals and workflows reconcile.
Frequently asked questions
Does OClass have native mobile apps? Yes — OClass Advantage (staff) and OClass Ignite (students) are two separate apps, both currently live on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Does OClass support PayNow? Yes. SchoolTracs also supports PayNow, bundled into its flat per-branch subscription rather than charged as a transaction fee.
Can I trial SchoolTracs with my real data? Yes — free trial, no credit card, with CSV import of your existing students, fees and rooms.
