The admin comes with the classroom
A booking page, reminders, payment tracking and invoices are part of Solo Pro, with no second subscription.
Class Spot gives you a collaborative classroom with a whiteboard, live websites and self-checking materials, plus the booking page, reminders and payment tracking a tutor runs on. One flat monthly price, however many hours you teach.
Lessonspace builds a reliable virtual classroom and connects to separate tools for scheduling and payments. Class Spot puts both in one app. Your students book, join and practise in one place, you track their payments there, and your price stays the same however full your week gets.

Lessonspace runs a dependable live lesson. These are the places a tutor running their own practice feels the difference in an ordinary week.
Lessonspace hands scheduling, payments and student records to partner tools such as Teachworks, TutorBird and Wise, each with its own subscription and login. Class Spot builds them into the same app as the lesson. Students book open slots on your public page, reminders go out by Telegram and email, and every lesson lands in your payment records with its invoice.
See how the admin worksA full-time tutor teaching 60 hours a month, with recordings on both sides. Class Spot price before VAT.
Lessonspace includes a set number of hours in each plan and bills the rest by the hour, and unused hours do not roll over. That suits a tutor who teaches a few hours a month. Class Spot charges one flat price, so a busy month costs the same as a quiet one.
Compare plansLessonspace Basic costs less than Solo Max below about 18 hours a month. Past that, the flat price saves more every week.
Lessonspace gives you a resource library, PDF import and reusable space templates. Class Spot turns the material into practice: drop in a textbook chapter or your own notes and you get a draft Study Guide with exercises that check themselves. Teach from it live, send it as homework, and see the score in your student’s thread before the next lesson.

Both tools put a live website inside the lesson. Lessonspace’s Cobrowser includes 600 participant minutes a month, about five hours of one-to-one lessons, then bills $0.004 per participant minute. Class Spot’s Shared Tab Control comes with Solo Pro and above and is not billed by the minute. Your student gets the mouse and keyboard for the one tab you chose, and the tab runs peer-to-peer, never recorded or stored on Class Spot servers.
Lessonspace is a strong pick for a tutoring company that already runs its admin elsewhere and wants a dependable classroom. For a tutor who wants the classroom and the business side in one place, Class Spot is the stronger fit.

1 app replaces your classroom and your scheduling and billing tool.
Move one student at a time. Your materials, schedule and balances come with you, and Class Spot starts sending reminders from the first booked lesson.
Upload the PDFs and documents you teach from, and download any whiteboards you want to keep as images. Each PDF can become a draft Study Guide with self-checking exercises.
Connect Google Calendar. On day one your existing schedule copies across, links included, and it stays in sync both ways.
Upload a spreadsheet from your billing tool or a photo of your notebook. Check the balances once, then send each student their lesson link.
Yes. Upload the PDFs and documents you already teach from to your Class Spot Materials Library, and save any Lessonspace whiteboards you want to keep as images. Any PDF can become a draft Study Guide with exercises that check themselves.
Your lesson link. It opens in any browser on a laptop, tablet or phone, with nothing to download and no password. Students create an account, which takes a minute, once you want to send them homework, messages and reminders.
You add the free Class Spot Tab Control extension to Chrome on your own computer, once. Your students install nothing and join on the usual lesson link. Shared Tab Control comes with Solo Pro and above.
Yes. Export students, balances, materials and history at any time. Study Guides, Flash Cards and Boards use an open format. Class Spot is run by an EU company under GDPR, and lesson recordings are stored in Frankfurt.
