TimetableMaster review
A broad school scheduler with free access, AI generation, and advanced tiers for larger operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TimetableMaster is a cloud-based scheduling platform for schools, colleges, universities, and training centres. It combines timetable generation with conflict detection and resolution, teacher availability and workload management, room capacity and availability controls, substitute recommendations, leave management, calendars, examinations, activities, and student schedules based on course selections. Access is available through web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android applications, making it suited to institutions that need scheduling across administrative, teaching, and student-facing workflows.
The plan structure moves from basic timetable creation to institutional scheduling. Basic includes limited automated timetable generation, basic layouts, analytics and reporting, and support for up to 50 faculty members, with no support included. Pro adds unlimited generation, advanced layouts, PDF, Excel, and CSV export, staff substitution, leave management, and advanced reporting. Max adds AI Agent credits, student-level timetabling, course choice systems, qualification-based teacher assignments, room capacity and preference management, and SSO integration. Enterprise is aimed at larger deployments with customized scheduling, multi-campus management, API and ERP/LMS integrations, an SLA uptime guarantee, a dedicated account manager, and tailored staff training.
TimetableMaster also fits schools working with Veracross, PowerSchool, ManageBac, or SchoolBase, as well as CSV and Excel workflows. Its breadth is the main reason to consider it: scheduling, substitutions, student course choices, room constraints, exports, mobile access, and multi-campus administration sit within one product. The trade-off is that the most specialized capabilities are concentrated in higher tiers, while the Basic plan is deliberately limited. Schools needing a straightforward timetable with modest faculty numbers may find Basic sufficient; institutions requiring SSO, student-level scheduling, or multi-campus controls should consider Max or Enterprise. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a narrowly focused scheduler without tiered feature expansion.
