Our verdict on SimplifyThis

SimplifyThis brings recurring music lessons, group classes, bookings, and payments into one system for independent teachers and small studios. Parents can use a portal to book or reschedule lessons and pay, while teachers manage schedules and student information on web, iOS, and Android. Household accounts can consolidate charges for multiple family members, which suits schools serving students from the same household. It is a practical fit for studios that want class administration and billing together, rather than a tool focused only on scheduling.

Scheduling and class management are a notable strength. The product supports recurring weekly lessons, teacher calendars and permissions, plus group rosters, capacity limits, waitlists, and attendance tracking. Prepaid lesson packages include automatic balance tracking, and reminders can go out by SMS and email. A bookable website with teacher profiles and in-person payments with point-of-sale product sales extend the workflow beyond lesson calendars. Stripe and Twilio are listed integrations; the core platform is available through web and mobile apps.

According to the vendor’s published monthly pricing, Starter costs $19 per month and includes online booking and calendar, clients, invoices and payments, a client portal, and reminders. Team costs $29 per month and adds multiple staff and permissions, classes, packages, and auto-billing. Business costs $39 per month and adds a custom-domain website and priority support. A 30-day trial is available, and the trial does not require a card. Because there is no free plan, studios wanting to evaluate ongoing use without a paid subscription should look elsewhere. For a small studio that needs recurring scheduling, family billing, and class capacity tools in one service, SimplifyThis is a reasonable option to consider.
