Switch from Smart Timetable to Academic Scheduler
Smart Timetable is a mobile app for students to track personal schedules — not a platform for building institutional timetables. Academic Scheduler gives school administrators a full web-based tool to create, manage, and publish conflict-free timetables across the entire school.
The web-based school timetable platform Smart Timetable can't replace
Why schools move beyond Smart Timetable
Smart Timetable is built for students to track their own schedules — not for administrators to build institutional ones.
Mobile app only — no web admin interface
Smart Timetable is available on iOS and Android with no dedicated web platform for administrators. Creating and managing institutional timetables from a phone is impractical for most admin workflows.
Designed for individual students, not institutions
Smart Timetable is built around a single student manually entering their own schedule. There is no master timetable that an administrator creates and distributes to the whole school.
No automated conflict detection
Smart Timetable does not check for scheduling conflicts — teacher double-bookings, room clashes, or class overlaps. Institutions with dozens of teachers and rooms need automated clash prevention.
No institutional or multi-branch management
Smart Timetable is a single-user personal planner. It has no tools for coordinating staff timetables, managing multiple branches, or publishing a master schedule to an entire institution.
What Academic Scheduler does differently
Built from the ground up for school administrators — not students.
Full web platform — no app install required
Academic Scheduler runs entirely in the browser. Administrators build, edit, and publish timetables from any device — no app store, no installation, no version updates to manage.
- Access from any browser on any device
- Instant updates — no app store deployments
- Share timetables via secure web link
Automated conflict-free scheduling
Academic Scheduler automatically generates a conflict-free timetable across all teachers, rooms, and classes. Clash detection runs continuously — double-bookings and overlaps are caught before they reach staff or students.
- Automated schedule generation in seconds
- Continuous clash detection across the entire institution
- Teacher workload balancing built in
Multi-branch institutional management
Manage timetables across multiple campuses or branches from a single centralised account — all at standard pricing, no enterprise tier required.
- Centralised dashboard for all branches
- Per-branch customisation with unified oversight
- No custom quote or enterprise sales call
Transparent monthly pricing from $10
Academic Scheduler costs $10–$20/month with full institutional feature access and a 14-day free trial — no credit card required, no app store subscription to manage.
- Basic $10/mo · Pro $15/mo · Premium $20/mo
- Cancel any month — no lock-in
- No credit card required for trial
