Comparison

The AmpliTeach alternative for schools.

AmpliTeach is an all-in-one admin suite built around the Rock House Method curriculum - scheduling, billing, and a CRM for growing a school. Set the Tune is a season-scheduling engine: it places and optimizes a whole roster at once. Here is the honest split.

What AmpliTeach is good at
  • ♩All-in-one admin - scheduling, billing, and CRM in one platform
  • ♩Built-in Rock House Method curriculum for teachers to follow
  • ♩Lead and enrollment tracking through the CRM
  • ♩Family billing and invoicing
Where it stops
  • ✱No one-click optimizer that places a whole season roster at once
  • ✱No automatic conflict detection for double-books or availability misses
  • ✱No drive-time routing for teachers traveling between in-home lessons
  • ✱No teacher workday rules - 8-hour caps or meal-break compliance
  • ✱No alternating A/B week balancing

What Set the Tune doesn't do.
Tuition invoicing, attendance, parent portals, family messaging. On purpose. Set the Tune is the scheduling layer - it builds the calendar your admin tools manage. If you need full studio admin, keep it and use both.
Set the Tune
  • ♩Starter $79 / Pro $129 / Studio $199 per month, per school
  • ♩Sized by students you actually schedule, not your raw roster
  • ♩Unlimited teachers on every tier - one price per school, never per teacher
  • ♩Free look at signup: build your real schedule free, pay only to export and keep it
AmpliTeach
  • ♩Per-teacher plans around $49-79 per teacher, per month
  • ♩Per-school plans around $99-399 per month

Which one fits?

If you want one platform for billing, CRM, and a built-in curriculum, AmpliTeach covers that. The moment you are placing a whole roster across multiple traveling teachers each season - drive time, teacher hours, A/B weeks, conflicts caught before they happen - that is the job Set the Tune is built for. Build the season here, run the admin there.

Schedule the season in an afternoon, not a week.
