Lesson Lineup vs TutorBird
TutorBird is for tutors of anything. Lesson Lineup is for one music teacher.
TutorBird and MyMusicStaff are sibling products from the same company, at the same price, with the same nine feature categories — and TutorBird's own home page tells a private music teacher to look at MyMusicStaff. So if what you teach is music, the comparison you want is the MyMusicStaff one. This page is the short version.
TutorBird figures read from their public pricing and home pages, September 2026. They are theirs to change — confirm there before deciding.

The decision
Stay on TutorBird, or switch to Lesson Lineup?
Stay on TutorBird if…
- you do not teach music. Lesson Lineup's practice log and repertoire are built for music lessons; a maths tutor has no use for them.
- there is a second tutor on the account, or a centre behind it.
- students book or pay through the Student Portal, or your families pay by card through it.
- you rely on its SMS reminders, calendar sync, integrations or website builder.
Switch to Lesson Lineup if…
- you are one music teacher who landed on the tutoring product, and none of the left box applies.
- you take payment by cash, transfer or card reader and need it recorded, not processed.
- you want a fee policy on each attendance status, practice minutes on the student's record, and a register that works with no signal.
- $119.52 a year is worth an afternoon of typing your students in.
The full table — seventeen rows, from trial length to file storage — is on the MyMusicStaff comparison. TutorBird's pricing page lists the same price and the same nine feature categories, so that table is this one with a different name at the top.
Questions
Is TutorBird the same as MyMusicStaff?
Sibling products from the same company, Port 443 Inc., at the same price — $16.95 a month plus $4.95 per additional tutor or teacher, as read from both pricing pages in September 2026 — with the same nine feature categories. TutorBird is aimed at tutors of any subject; its own home page points private music teachers at MyMusicStaff.
Is Lesson Lineup affiliated with TutorBird?
No. Lesson Lineup is an independent product with no connection to TutorBird or Port 443 Inc. Their name appears on this page only so teachers comparing the two can see the differences side by side.
Who should not switch from TutorBird to Lesson Lineup?
Anyone with a second tutor on the account, anyone whose students book or pay through the portal, anyone who relies on its reminders, calendar sync, integrations or website builder — and anyone who does not teach music.
Can Lesson Lineup import my TutorBird data?
No. Only expenses import from CSV; students, families and lesson history are typed in. The switching guide is written for MyMusicStaff, and TutorBird is close enough to it that every step applies.
