A plain comparison for UK instructors weighing up EasyWeek, a booking tool used by many kinds of business, against software built for driving instruction.
This page is for an instructor looking at EasyWeek because it's cheap or free and does online booking well. That's a fair reason to look. Here's what's different.
Free until 31 March 2027 while in early access, with no subscription fee and no card needed to start. Card payments taken through DriveSchoolPro carry a 3% platform fee plus Stripe's own processing fee.
Prices change, so we don't quote them here. See EasyWeek's current pricing →
Features only, no pricing. EasyWeek entries reflect what their public website lists, checked 16 October 2026.

"Not listed" means we could not find the feature on EasyWeek's public website on 16 October 2026. It may exist. We use "Not listed" rather than "No" so we never say a competitor lacks something we haven't seen them say. If anything here is out of date, email info@driveschoolpro.com and we'll correct it.
These are the differences that exist today, from the table above.
EasyWeek sends reminders by SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram and push as well as email, where DriveSchoolPro sends email only for now (WhatsApp is coming soon). EasyWeek also has a website builder, gift cards and point-of-sale, which we don't. If those matter more than DVSA tracking, EasyWeek is a fair choice.

It's a capable general booking tool with a driving-school page, lots of reminder channels and a free tier. What it isn't built for is UK driving instruction: we couldn't find DVSA skill tracking, vehicle MOT and insurance tracking or clash checks that include the car. If you only need bookings and payments, it can work. If you're tracking pupils towards a test, DriveSchoolPro is built for that.
EasyWeek has a permanent free tier for basic booking; automated reminders need a paid plan. DriveSchoolPro is free with every feature until 31 March 2027, then keeps a permanent Free plan with every feature, including AI lesson briefings and email reminders, for 1 instructor and up to 60 lessons a month.
We've tried to make it one. The EasyWeek column only records what EasyWeek's own website says, checked on 16 October 2026. Where we couldn't find a feature we say "Not listed", not "No". We don't quote its paid prices because they change, so use its own pricing page. If you spot an error, email info@driveschoolpro.com and we'll correct it.
