The spreadsheet, without the spreadsheet
Most instructors track payments in a notebook or a spreadsheet that is always slightly out of date. Lesson Diary keeps the record next to the lesson, so who owes you what is never a guess.
Paid or owed, per lesson
Mark each lesson as you go. Cash, card or bank transfer — the record is yours to keep.
Who owes you, at a glance
A running total of outstanding lesson money, so nothing quietly slips through.
Export for your accounts
Pull your pupils, lessons and payments out to CSV whenever your books or your accountant need them.
No cut, ever
Lesson Diary does not process pupil payments and takes no percentage. You keep 100% of what pupils pay you.
How payment tracking compares
Some apps take 1.5%–1.9% of any lesson money run through them. See how a flat fee compares against Total Drive, GoRoadie, DriveSchoolPro, MyDriveTime and Passly.
