Who this is for

Individual tutors and small coaching teachers in India with 10–100 students who want classes, content, tests and fees organised in one place.

Quick summary

• Teachmint and Classplus dominate the ads, but individual tutors often do better with lighter tools.
• For under 100 students, Google Classroom + WhatsApp + a fee sheet covers most needs for free.
• Pay for an LMS only when you need a branded app, recorded-course sales or automated tests.

How we judged the tools

• Pricing that makes sense under 100 students
• Live classes plus recordings
• Tests and assignments with auto-checking
• Fee collection and parent communication
• Runs smoothly on low-end Android phones

Do you even need an LMS yet?

An LMS earns its subscription when it replaces three or more separate chores. If you’re only sharing PDFs and collecting fees, a free stack does that today. If you’re also running live classes, grading tests and answering “which class did my child miss?” — that’s when a real LMS pays for itself.

Our picks

• Teachmint — easiest start; strong live classes, attendance and fee tracking.
• Classplus — best if you want your own branded app and to sell recorded courses.
• Learnyst — good for test-prep tutors who need serious mock-test machinery.
• Google Classroom + WhatsApp Business — the free stack; surprisingly far for under 50 students.

Tools mentioned in this guide

• Teachmint — Live classes + fees, tutor-friendly
• Classplus — Branded app + course sales
• Learnyst — Test-prep and mock exams

Pros & cons

Pros

• One app replaces registers, fee notebooks and broadcast lists
• Parents get automatic updates — fewer “please share homework” calls
• Recorded classes become a reusable asset

Cons

• Per-student pricing punishes growth at small margins
• Custom quotes make comparison shopping tedious
• Students on old phones may struggle with heavy apps

Our recommendation

Under 50 students, run the free Google Classroom + WhatsApp stack. Past 50 — or when parents start asking for an app — trial Teachmint first, then negotiate Classplus against it.
