Before you pick
What all four do that Lesson Lineup does not.
These are the same seven lines the home page opens with. If one of them is load-bearing for your studio, the honest answer on every page below is "stay".
- Online payments from families. Lesson Lineup records payments after the fact; it never takes one.
- A way for students or parents to book, cancel or see their account themselves. In Lesson Lineup, only the teacher logs in.
- A second teacher. One Lesson Lineup account is one teacher.
- Calendar sync to Google or Outlook.
- Sending. Lesson Lineup produces invoices and never emails them; no reminder is ever delivered.
- A website or booking form.
- Importing your students. Only expenses import; the rest is typed in.
What that leaves is the part a studio of one actually uses every day: the calendar and the recurring series, the register with a fee policy attached to each status, the family ledger and the invoices raised from it, the practice log, the repertoire list and thirteen CSV reports — working with no connection and syncing later. Every one of those is on the features page, sourced.
Questions
Is Lesson Lineup affiliated with MyMusicStaff, Teachworks, Duet Partner or TutorBird?
No. Lesson Lineup is an independent product. Those products are named on this site only so a teacher comparing them can see the differences side by side, and their prices and features are quoted from their own public pages on the date each comparison states.
Who should not switch to Lesson Lineup?
Studios with more than one teacher, anyone whose families book, cancel or pay online through the software, and anyone who needs calendar sync, emailed invoices or a built-in website. Lesson Lineup has none of those, and every comparison page says so first.
Can Lesson Lineup import my data from another product?
Only expenses import from CSV. There is no importer for students, families, lesson history or balances from any other product — setting up a studio in Lesson Lineup is typing it in, and the switching guide says how long that takes and when in the term to do it.
Why is a product missing from this list?
Because its pricing page could not be read on the day these were written. A comparison here is only ever built from the other product's own public pages, so a product whose page could not be fetched gets no page rather than a guessed one.
Run it beside what you have for 30 days.
Nothing in Lesson Lineup touches the other product, and no card is asked for. Sign up on or before 25 December 2026 and the first 12 billed months are $6.99 each.
