### "Easy Enrollment and Payments, but Limited Classroom Communication"

November 5, 2026

4.5

I use TUIO’s digital forms and payments to manage enrollments and tuition, which saves time and makes things easier for parents.

Pros

I use TUIO to manage enrollments and tuition payments. It saves time and makes things easier for parents with digital forms and payments. I like the stellar customer service and ease of use. I value creating enrollments and forms and taking payments. Once we got the hang of it, setup was pretty seamless.

Cons

I can’t set up classes for parent-to-teacher communication in TUIO, and payments come out yearly all at once. I’d like monthly or quarterly payments, and a way to divide families into classes so teachers can create classroom profiles and message their students’ families.

### "Great easy to use software."

November 5, 2026

5.0

I've been using this software since I arrived here over a year ago, and I have to says that this software has been easy to figure out so that I can do what I need to get done when it comes to the work I do.

Pros

I like that the Tuio system is easy to use, and when I have a question support is quick to answer my questions and walk me through anything I may be struggling with

Cons

I'm not a big fan of how it exports information some times because I have to do an export from the registration and the enrolment to get all the information I need, I would love to see this combined. I would also like to see students where the parents each have an account be combined so that all enrolments are in one screen instead of having to go from one parent account to another to see the enrolments.

### "TUIO saves you HOURS of labour!"

November 5, 2026

5.0

I would recommend TUIO to anyone. The product is very easy to use, and their support team is pleasantly small and attentive. They respond quickly, and you see the same names over and over again - it's a level of familiarity we seek as a small business.

Pros

TUIO has made our work so much easier. We used to spend hours chasing families for payment and cashing various forms of payment each month. Now, we just leave it all to TUIO - parents decide how they want to pay and manage it all easily from their end. I couldn't ask for a better program!

Cons

Form enrolment can sometimes be a bit tricky, with some steps that are somewhat easy to miss, but it's not something you can't figure out!

### "Tuio Review: Montessori School of Charlottesville "

November 4, 2026

5.0

Overall, we have seen our enrollment and tuition collection systems improve because of our use of Tuio.

Pros

Consolidates different areas of our enrollment systems into one convenient easy program to use. It creates a certain level of efficiency that we appreciate as do our families.

Cons

I think that certain areas of the software are clunky and could be streamlined. Often settings are challenging to find. It does seem that you can do a lot with Tuio, but sometimes it feels like you would need to train for hours on it to fully understand all the features.

### "Fast, User-friendly & Reliable Platform for School Management"

November 2, 2026

5.0

I have been working with TUIO for more than 2 years now. TUIO made my job so easy for school's financial management, online payment processing including credit card payments. TUIO is a secure platform and helps with everything you need to manage school.

Pros

TUIO is user friendly, reliable, great value for money and easy to use. It is a valuable addition to the school management.

Cons

Everything in TUIO is great except I don't like the visual changes to the platform such as location of buttons or filters.

### "Head Administrator"

November 2, 2026

5.0

This site has completely streamlined the billing, parent payments and our school management. I am the Head Administrator at the Head office of a 7 campus school. I use the excel spreadsheets on a weekly to monthly basis. They are very helpful. It is so nice to have the option of various payment methods- credit card, debit and cash or cheque if they wish. Both the school and the parents feel secure with the payment systems TUIO has in place.

Pros

This has made our financial management so much easier to look after and at a reasonable cost. Using TUIO is almost like having another helpful employee.

Cons

They do updates often which is wonderful and what you would typically want in more programing, however, sometimes we as users because very comfortable and used to certain aspects of the website and then it may change.

### "Easy to Use "

October 30, 2026

5.0

Very Good. The setup was super easy and the staff help me with each step. Anytime there was an issue I had an answer right away.

Pros

Tuio makes tuition payments and registration simple by keeping forms, payments, and family information organized in one place.

Cons

The communications. Over the years they have improved it, but my parents were looking for an app for pictures and quick messages to be updated.

### "TUIO Experience"

October 30, 2026

4.0

It is a great tool and glad we made the change as it has saved me quite a bit time. Also the fact that the parent is responsible for setting up the payment is great

Pros

Once the learning curve has been passed it such a quick and easy tool to use. Definitely saves time in setting up invoices and getting them out to parents. Reports also easy to work with, especially the ones showing outstanding invoices

Cons

Setting up the programs and then linking to enrollments took some getting used to and at times can be a bit confusing

### "Tuio has been a fantastic tool to move our school into online payments and invoice management."

April 10, 2018

5.0

Tuio allowed us to streamline our enrolment and tuition payment processes. We are moving away from handling post-dated cheques to online direct payments. This is both a better user experience for our parents as well as saving time and generating efficiencies in the administration. It really is a Win Win!

Pros

What I like most about Tuio is that it is built from the ground up as a payment software, instead of an added-on after thought. The system is intuitive and simple to navigate while being powerful on the backend to support our needs. Our parents have had nothing but good things to say about how much they like the system.

Cons

There are a few features which would be nice to have such as the ability to modify the payment amounts once an invoice has been issued; however, Tuio has been very responsive to suggestions and is continually publishing new features/functionality.

### "Not intuitive or easy to adjust for our needs"

May 10, 2024

3.0

Not thrilled. The system meets our needs to a degree but has needed a lot of attention from our administrator to overcome the shortcomings. Some features that are integral to the function of a school are not offered at all with TUIO at this time.

Pros

Direct and immediate deposit of funds. Options for payment for our customers.

Cons

Editing and changing things that have been entered is not possible. We have to redo everything. The system only allows us to connect the account to one email address when a number of our clients have 2 emails associated with their account. This is ridiculous. For students with divorced parents it makes ZERO sense. We have had a lot of time and energy spent on making this program work for us, and we are frustrated with the experience overall. If someone wants to adjust a payment method they have to redo the entire enrollment document.

Review Source

Response from TUIO Payments

May 13, 2024

Hi Susan, Thank you for sharing your feedback. Flexibility and customization is a core component of the TUIO system. You can edit invoices, payment plans, and forms at any time for instant changes, individually or in bulk. For students with divorced parents who are paying separately they can have their invoices split up on separate accounts so each parent can manage their own payments independently, without having access to the other parent's account and information. Payment methods and enrollment documents are separate items in TUIO. A payment method change would not impact the enrollment document, and vice versa. Parents can change their payment method at any time, and likewise they can easily resubmit an enrollment document with updates, since the system pre-populates their previous responses. You are welcome to reach out to our support team - support@tuiopay.com - for assistance to help make your operations more efficient on TUIO.

### "Easy to use, snappy payment system"

May 23, 2023

5.0

So far, we have only used it as a payment system, which is what it started out as. Next, we plan to add a registration piece, where parents and students will fill out their registration information directly into the system, something we don't currently have. After that, we would like to use it more for student information, and if it works out well, we would then ditch Zoho. (We really like Zoho as a database, but it wasn't made for schools and is not ideal in that regard.) The biggest thing Tuio would have to improve before we leave Zoho is its communication piece. In Zoho, we can make attractively designed mass messages to send to parents; there is no such capability yet in Tuio.We have been quite satisfied with Tuio's software and especially appreciative of their customer support. A couple of years ago, we did a total re-do of all of our software systems. We have been happiest with Tuio.

Pros

We love Tuio! It was fairly easy to learn, the interface is attractive and generally easy to use, it is has a very quick response time, and the customer support is stellar. I like that it's a small company, so we know the people who support us. They always try to help us when we don't understand something, or help us to make something work when our company's round peg doesn't fit well into their square hole (not unique to Tuio -- we have that problem with lots of software -- but they are eager to help us find workarounds). They are also open to suggestions, particularly since the product is fairly new and they are working on building it.Also, a huge plus is for us is that there was no setup fee, and instead of a monthly charge, Tuio charges by the transaction. It is affordable for our small school, and doing it by transaction means that we have to pay less when we have fewer transactions (and less money to pay a monthly fee).

Cons

\--We have students in many countries, but there are some issues with Tuio in that regard. Part of that is their payment processor, which doesn't work as well with payments in some countries, a problem we didn't have with our previous processor. Also, their parent/student contact information fields are rigidly set to (XXX) XXX-XXXX format, which does not fit our foreign customers. So, for schools that only have customers in the US or Canada (Tuio is from Canada), neither of these would be issues at all. --We are subscription based, but Tuio is designed around defined payment plans. This has created some headaches for us. They have said they are working on creating the ability to have subscription plans, so once that is done, this will no longer be a problem for us.--We do a substantial percentage of our payments through PayPal, but they don't have a way to incorporate PayPal, so we have to enter PayPal transactions as cash, which is not convenient.--While Tuio is mostly easy to use, some things here and there are not intuitive.

[Zoho CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/155928/Zoho-CRM/)[MAESTRO SIS](https://www.capterra.com/p/66468/MAESTRO-SIS/)

First, we had been tracking payments in our CRM (Zoho) by uploading receipts as attached files, which was cumbersome and did not enable reporting. Second, we were planning to switch from Zoho to Maestro (student information system from Bocavox), where there is a quite extensive ledger system connected to the student database, so it would have been well integrated. However, we have disliked Maestro -- it is terribly slow, clunky, outdated, not pleasing to the eye, and they didn't handle our custom programming issues for payment successfully. So, we decided to try Tuio, even though we would lose the integration with the student information. After dealing with Maestro, Tuio has been such a delight -- modern interface, fast response, organization of data that is easy to get to...it's like coming out from dark cloudy skies into a bright sunny day. We had not set up much of the financial piece in Maestro yet, so mostly we went directly from Zoho to Tuio. We had a lot of resistance from current parents, who had to set up accounts in Tuio when we switched, but for new parents, it's all they've known and no issue. We are able to continue to offer direct support to our parents (something we wanted), but if the parents want, they can also contact Tuio and get assistance. Neither Zoho nor Maestro have a way for parents to contact them directly.

Thank you for the 5 star review J Lee, it's extremely detailed and helpful. I'm confident we can have you fully onboarded to TUIO and away from those cumbersome platforms in no time. With regards to the communications piece, we are going to expand on what we have currently and add the ability to make templates and do more broadcasting. In the meantime, you could send mass messages on TUIO with a pdf attachment (that was attractively designed), but I understand where you are coming from. We are working on a global search, support for international phone numbers, and we still have the "payment clock" in our development pipeline. So glad that you are happy with TUIO and made that decision.

We are pleased with our partnership with TUIO - from the integration to the day to day operations - they have been with us every step of the way.

Pros

The TUIO team is very responsive and able to answer or resolve questions within 24 hours if not sooner. They always provide resources to help guide us in the right direction.

Cons

### "A Good Payment Processing Option for Microschools"

November 6, 2023

5.0

Overall, we have been pleased with our service. We recognize that TUIO is a growing company making great strides in the education management industry. I would recommend them to schools that are looking for a high-quality school management system with a conservative budget.

Pros

First, there's no monthly fee!! This is a major bonus for schools with a conservative budget. We also like how TUIO allows for billing and invoices to be processed automatically. Reminders are sent to families three days before payment processing. The service charge per transaction is minimal and can be set to be paid by the school or the families. The onboarding process was thorough and smooth. \[sensitive content hidden\] is an excellent customer support liaison. We receive quality, one-on-one customer service whenever we have questions.

Cons

The system is designed more for accountants or a finance team. Some of the filters and groupings are not intuitive. For example, looking up overdue invoices is (currently) a cumbersome process. This may be because we are not accounting savvy.

Switched from

[Tuition Express](https://www.capterra.com/p/177236/Tuition-Express/)

### "TUIO wins in customization and flexibility."

October 26, 2023

5.0

Pros

Customer service and the implementation specialists are top notch! The way the system organizes programs is easy and efficient.

Cons

The reported numbers are not actual figures. It would be preferable if the numbers detailed in the program totals and the dashboard were only the funds that the school actually collected/will collect. For functions like conversations and forms to be useful for the entire school, there needs to be a way to add users with limited access.

### "Promising but Not There Yet"

May 10, 2024

4.0

There are some aspects that are not as intuitive as they should be (such as resending an activation email or the fact that an "active" parent does not mean that they are fully onboarded), but setting up payment plans and enrolling students was fairly easy.

Pros

The onboarding was quite easy and the platform is pretty easy to use.

Cons

We were devastated to learn that TUIO doesn't allow families to set up multiple payers for an enrollment. For families who have split households or get help from relatives or subsidy programs, etc., this adds an undue burden which feels discriminatory. It might seem like a big deal to the folks at TUIO who have made a promising platform, but the implications for our school culture and relationship with our families are significant.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Jake. We have always provided support for split households and family members getting help from another payor. TUIO was made to be as inclusive and robust as possible for any school/daycare organization's Tuition Management needs. TUIO provides the flexibility to enroll students under multiple payors who each receive a portal to manage their payments. Parents can change their payment method at any time within a single enrollment, so different family members can set up payment for a given invoice. Regarding the parent onboarding and activation, we just added a new filter option for Parent Account Status so you can filter out active vs inactive parents, and send the appropriate automated notifications.

It’s a lesser known platform and while new updates are helpful and add much needed features it can be frustrating to constantly learn new material.

### "Helpful and efficient"

October 26, 2023

5.0

Getting TUIO set up seemed to take a bit longer than figured, but the set-up team was very helpful, efficient, and available in every step of the process. The same can be said about their customer service, they are also very good, helpful, and commendable. There is always a quick response to any question or issue. The main reason we signed up with TUIO was to help with invoicing and payment processing, and TUIO has helped a lot with this.

Pros

TUIO has helped with invoicing and keeping track of payments, and payment processing. This was the main reason we signed up with TUIO, although we realize there are several other features that are available. The customer service is very commendable! We always receive quick responses to emails and chat.

Cons

Setting up programs and registrations in order to create invoices seems a bit confusing. But with that, the customer service is always helpful! Having to do everything online is a small drawback. Some parents have also expressed their desire for a phone app, instead of having to go to a website.

### "TUIO Changed My Life"

May 23, 2023

5.0

TUIO has saved me countless hours on accounting and now I have more free time to hang out with the kiddos - which is what I love to do! I also love that TUIO doesn't cost me an arm and a leg - I am a small business and the cost of the software was a big factor for me. TUIO charges me $1.50 per invoice processed (this can be passed on to the person paying the invoice if you choose). TUIO charges my families $0 if they pay via checking account and standard credit card fees if they pay via credit card. After using TUIO for nearly a year, I feel this is an exceptional value. I highly recommend!!

Pros

TUIO has changed my life! I have a small after school child care business and I also offer summer camps. Previous to TUIO, I was emailing an invoice every month and families were submitting payment via Venmo. I was spending many hours a month on invoicing and was tracking everything manually for end of year reporting. I recently expanded my child care business and I needed a simple way to set up monthly invoicing with an auto pay option for my enrolled families. TUIO has been the perfect solution. The software is easy to use, offers intuitive enrollment set up and there are many reports that you can pull for more detailed data analysis. With TUIO, I enroll a family one time in my program and set up their payment plan for the year. The system sends an email to the parent to set up their payment information that authorizes all invoices for the year. Every month when the payment is processed, it is automatically deposited into my business account and the parents receive an email receipt. TUIO is so easy to use for this purpose. I can't say enough good things about it!

Cons

TUIO is an accounting system for childcare services. It doesn't have all the extra bells and whistles of check in/out, messaging services and in depth student profiles that some software has. I didn't want or need those extra features for an after school program -- TUIO does exactly what I was looking for. Setting up new "Program" can be tricky. I have only done it twice - once for the school year enrollment and once for summer camp enrollment. Since I don't do it often, I set up a video chat with TUIO customer service and they have helped me both times. TUIO customer service is AMAZING by the way. They are responsive and available.

### "We love TUIO!"

May 20, 2024

Apart from the initial learning curve (it was my first time using this kind of program) it has been great. We had a manual spreadsheet system prior and TUIO has saved tons of time.

Pros

The website is quick, easy to use and the customer service is excellent.

Cons

Our admissions coordinator would like to see more options for wait-listing incoming families.
