One teacher, per month
$119.52 a year less
MyMusicStaff's price from its own pages, October 2026.
Why pay more?
Price
Less than half the price
One price for every account, regardless of the number of students. The first 30 days are free, with no card.
Offline
Teach where the signal drops
Church basement with no Wi-Fi? Open the app before you lose signal, then mark attendance, record a payment or move a lesson. It all syncs later.
Families
One account for a brother and sister
Each kid gets a student record, and the parents get one balance and one invoice. Record the check at the door and you're done.
Attendance
Late cancellations, handled your way
Pick the status that fits your policy. Billed or not, make-up credit or not, it works the same way every time.
Invoices and reminders by email
Invoices with the PDF attached, reminders, lesson notes and receipts all arrive by email when you want to send them.
Practice
A practice log on every student
See who's practicing and who's stalled, plus every piece and how it's coming along.

Questions
How much cheaper is it?
$119.52 a year for one teacher, going by MyMusicStaff's price in October 2026.
Will I be charged if I add a card during the trial?
Nope. However early you add one, nothing's charged until the trial ends.
How do families pay me?
Same as now: cash, check, Venmo, whatever. You record it, and we take no cut.
Can it import my MyMusicStaff data?
Expenses import from a CSV. Students, families, lessons and opening balances get typed in, and the switching guide shows when to do it.
Is it affiliated with MyMusicStaff?
Nope. We're independent, and MyMusicStaff is named here only to compare the two.
