What is the main difference between SmartCookie and Teach 'n Go?

Teach 'n Go is school software priced by the number of live students, with unlimited teachers, an enquiry CRM and an app for students and parents. SmartCookie is built for language teachers and small academies, priced per teacher, with packs, attendance, lesson notes and card or Bizum payments in one place. SmartCookie is our product, so keep that in mind.

Who should choose SmartCookie over Teach 'n Go?

Teachers on their own and teams of up to 3 teachers, where SmartCookie's plan costs less each month. Also teachers whose students in Spain pay by Bizum, who want students to book without making an account, or who want every lesson to come off a pack on its own.

When is Teach 'n Go the better choice?

When you run a school with group courses and many teachers. Teach 'n Go includes unlimited teachers, a CRM for enquiries and enrolments, an app for students and parents, and unlimited locations on Pro. Its interface comes in 24 languages, Spanish included. From 4 teachers with up to 100 students, it also costs less, and it takes no cut of payments.

How much does Teach 'n Go cost, and is SmartCookie cheaper?

Up to 3 teachers, yes. SmartCookie costs €19 a month for one teacher, or €15.20 billed yearly, and €57 a month for a team of 3. Teach 'n Go starts at €69 a month, or €690 a year, for up to 100 live students with unlimited teachers. From 4 teachers SmartCookie costs more: €74 a month for 4 teachers and €91 for 5. SmartCookie also keeps 0.6% of each online payment. Teach 'n Go keeps none: only Stripe's or PayPal's fees apply.

Can I bring my students over from another tool?

Yes. You can import your student list from a CSV, which Google Sheets, Excel or any spreadsheet app can save. No adding them one by one, no starting from scratch.

Can I use SmartCookie and my current tool together?

Yes. Start your 14-day trial while your current tool keeps running, import your students from a CSV and move over when you're ready. If both tools take bookings, keep only one booking link live so no student books twice.

SmartCookie vs Teach 'n Go: a teacher's tool, or a school system?

Your week, not a school timetable
One calendar for your private lessons and groups, priced per teacher, never per student.
Card and Bizum for students in Spain
Teach 'n Go takes Stripe, PayPal or a custom method, with no fee of its own. SmartCookie adds Bizum through Stripe, and students pay without making an account.
Packs for every lesson
Each lesson comes off the student's pack, whether they booked it or you scheduled it. Teach 'n Go uses lesson tickets, one for each online booking.
A booking link with your lesson types
Students pick a lesson type and an open slot on your link with just a name and email, and the lesson goes straight into your calendar. Teach 'n Go asks them to register or log in first.

Teach 'n Go remains a strong pick for schools with group courses, many teachers, enquiries to follow up and several locations, and it takes no cut of your payments.

Our review: SmartCookie or Teach 'n Go?

Use SmartCookie when you teach languages and want packs, a booking link with your lesson types and card or Bizum payments, priced per teacher. Use Teach 'n Go when you run a school with many teachers and group courses and want an enquiry CRM, a parent app and several locations.

“When you're a language teacher, you have to do a thousand things at once. So to manage everything, having an assistant really helps. Well, I see SmartCookie as if it were one :) It helps me plan my classes properly, manage notes, and keep track of students in a smooth and easy way!”

Olga Filimonova

“When I met Martina, I knew she had the best interests of teachers in her heart. That's why I was so excited to learn about SmartCookie. I've interviewed her and was able to test it out - it's a lifesaver for independent teachers who want to focus on growing their business and leave busy work behind. Congrats to the Smart Cookie team!”
