The problem
One class.Six apps. Zero coherence.
Independent teachers stitch Zoom, Moodle, WhatsApp, Docs, a grading spreadsheet, and a separate AI tab — every switch is a tax on your time and a hole for details to slip through. Most platforms calling themselves an LMS are actually content libraries with a Zoom bolt-on; what live teachers need is a TMS + LMS in one workspace — instructor scheduling, attendance, materials, and grading on the same login.
- Context lives in six different inboxes.
- Students miss half your announcements.
- You spend the hour before class hunting for a link.
Classentra rebuilds the live-class workflow as one workspace — live-first by design, not a Zoom bolt-on grafted onto a content library.
How Classentra is different
Built for teachers, priced for teachers — and it doesn't feel like school.
Bring your own video
Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams. Free Zoom works for 1-on-1. We never charge a video markup.
Your data is yours
Export grades, attendance, submissions, and rosters as CSV anytime. No lock-in.
Privacy by default
Hosted in Canada, aligned with PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25 — Canadian-first privacy, bilingual EN/FR. Your students' data isn't a product.
Indie-friendly pricing
Transparent tiers — Free, $19 Solo, $59 Pro, $179 Business. No 'contact sales' wall, no RFP, no surprise upsells. Predictable pricing with no active-user surcharge and no implementation fee. Per-charge transaction fees on creator-sold courses, never per-seat lock-in.
Features
Everything your live class needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Six tools your week actually leans on — woven together so they share context.
An AI that knows your course.
Draft assignment feedback, generate quizzes, plan sessions — grounded in your real course context, not a generic chatbot.
Your gradebook updates itself.
Mark inline, weights apply, late penalties calculate, CSV exports cleanly.
Attendance, two taps.
Manual roster or automatic via Zoom webhooks. Late arrivals and excused absences in one place.
Live link, generated.
Zoom, Meet, or Teams links auto-attach to sessions — no copy-paste.
Send once. Everyone sees it.

Up and running before lunch.
Three steps. No onboarding call required.
Sign up free.

Honest answers.
What teachers actually want to know before they sign up.
What is Classentra?
Classentra is a modern workspace for independent teachers running live courses. Sessions, materials, assignments, attendance, messaging, and AI prep — all in one place instead of six tabs.
Who is Classentra for?
Independent teachers, tutors, coaches, music and language instructors, and small academies who run live courses and want one calm workspace instead of juggling six tools.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Classentra runs in your browser. Students and teachers just need a link.
Can my students pay me through Classentra?
Not yet. Native paid-course checkout (where students pay you to unlock access) is on our roadmap. Today, most teachers pair Classentra with Stripe, Square, or PayPal — and use Classentra to track sessions, attendance, and grades for clean billing reconciliation. We'll roll out native tuition collection in a future phase.
You're in beta. What does that mean for me?
It means we ship updates fast and you get a real say in what we build next. Your data is safe, your courses are stable, and our pricing won't surprise-spike. Occasionally you might hit a rough edge — when you do, email us and we usually fix within days.
Do students pay anything?
No. Students never pay Classentra. The subscription belongs to the teacher account; students join through invite links or join codes.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan runs one course with up to 25 active students on your own Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams account. Paid plans start at $19/mo (Solo) when you need more courses, students, or zero per-sale fees.
Can I use Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams for live sessions?
Yes — every tier, including Free, lets you connect your own Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams account via OAuth. Classentra generates the meeting link for each session automatically. Native in-app live classes are an optional $19/mo add-on on any paid tier.
Do I have to talk to a sales rep to see pricing?
No. Every plan and every transaction fee is on the pricing page. No RFP, no demo theater, no 'contact us for a quote.' Most buyers are signed up and running their first session inside ten minutes.
Is Classentra an LMS or a TMS?
Both. Most platforms branded 'LMS' are async content libraries — they assume students press play and you press send. Live teaching needs the TMS half too: instructor scheduling, attendance, session logistics. Classentra ships TMS + LMS in one product so you don't bolt a video tool onto a course platform.
Are there usage surcharges I should know about?
No. Predictable pricing with no active-user surcharge, no implementation fee, no minimum seat count. Creator-sold courses pay a per-charge transaction fee that drops from 7% on Free to 0% on Pro. That's it.
Why two pricing ladders — Teachers and Organizations?
Creators selling courses to the public have different needs from organizations running internal training. Two pricing ladders means you don't pay $189/mo to host five compliance courses, and you don't pay $6k/yr to sell three paid cohorts. Pay for what you actually do.
