Good to know
How can BACKBAR help me?
As a tutor, your day is booked with students and back-to-back work like a test-prep session. BACKBAR keeps all of it in one place: your calendar and every student's history, a booking link so students book the open times themselves, and income that totals as you go. At tax time your year-end report is one click.
Is it really free?
Your first 2 months are completely free, no card required. We will email you before the 2 months are up. If you want to keep going, it's $24.99 a month or $270 per year with a 10% discount.
How does online booking work?
Flip it on and share one link. Students see only the times you are genuinely open, because your page reads your real hours, breaks and days off. Every booking lands on your schedule, sends an automatic confirmation and reminder, and students can reschedule or cancel themselves up to the cutoff you set.
Do I need to download anything?
No. We run right in your browser, so you can use it from anywhere, on any device, always in sync, nothing to install or update.
Do you take a cut of my payments?
Never. Card payments are optional, and when you turn them on, the money goes to your own account through your card processor. The only thing you ever pay us is the flat subscription.
Who can see my income and students?
Only you. Your income and student details are never shared with anyone. A connection only sees what you choose to turn on for it, like your open times, and even then only availability and totals, never your student names, prices, or notes.
What happens to my info if I leave?
It stays yours. Export your students, income and history any time, and nothing is deleted out from under you.
