ScheduleSorter vs TutorCruncher
Agency operations versus multi-resource scheduling.
ScheduleSorter
Constraint solver
You enter events, instructors, rooms, attendees and the rules that constrain them. A constraint solver then searches for a weekly schedule in which nothing clashes — and when no such schedule exists, it names the specific enrolment and the specific rule that made it impossible.

Where TutorCruncher is the better choice
TutorCruncher runs the parts of an agency ScheduleSorter has no opinion about — invoicing clients, paying tutors, matching them to students. At 1,800+ customers it is a proven system, and for a purely 1:1 agency its scheduling is entirely sufficient.
- ✓Billing, payroll and tutor payments handled end to end.
- ✓Tutor–student matching as a core workflow.
- ✓Proven at scale — over 2 million lessons delivered in 2025.
- ✓Purpose-built for the agency business model.
Where ScheduleSorter is the better choice
ScheduleSorter is a constraint solver: you describe the rules and it searches for a week in which none of them are broken. Instructors, rooms and attendees are each guaranteed to be in only one place at a time, because those are hard constraints in the model rather than warnings on a grid.
- ✓Builds a weekly timetable across many instructors, rooms and cohorts at once.
- ✓Handles group classes competing for shared rooms and shared instructors.
- ✓Guarantees no double-booking as a hard constraint rather than a sync conflict.
- ✓Applies beyond tutoring to any recurring programme.

The verdict
These solve adjacent problems. TutorCruncher is the better answer for running a 1:1 agency; ScheduleSorter is the better answer once group sessions start competing for the same rooms and people.
