We had software in the past that combined the calendar and billing, but could only generate invoices. This meant we spent a significant amount of time chasing down invoices. Sometimes lessons were taken without being paid for yet. Having integrated texting in the account really helps as well. The student name pops up with each text message and is tied to the account. This saves a HUGE amount of time. We also can use opus to manage our recitals well. > > **Cons**: Opus is powerful and has a lot of options this is great because it allows us to run the school the way we want to. It would be helpful to have more flexibility around billing automation though. We want our unused lesson credits to rollover every month. Occasionally students struggle to book their lesson on mobile phones. They can self book, but there is room for improvement here. Especially when our teachers have busy schedules, there should be a button asking "Need help?" to initiate a text. Sometimes customers think they scheduled a lesson on mobile, but they haven't completed the checkout process. Perhaps a clear progress bar at the TOP of the mobile booking page would help with this. The billing can get really confusing with credits, refunds, discounts etc. Would be great to have more clarity around how billing is done so everyone can do it. > > The customer support has been really great. Their speed of development is great too. ----- ### "Opus1 is a wonderful comprehensive software" — 5.0/5 > **Gema** | *19 December 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system was learning curve for sure, but after you get use to where everything is, what all the button means, and how it all fits in with your business structure but it's definitely been a breaze and worth the investment. We anticipated a 6 months to learn the system but most of the team got it in a month. They have live help that makes things easier in case you forget or something was missed as this software is quite comprehensive. Generally things are easy to find. The process to schedule, reschedule, and cancel lessons and let the parents also have access to that calendar has made things much easier. > > **Cons**: Some things i favored least about Opus1.io are the deisgn on some things and the system does not quite fit what my business structure is. One the scheduling site i've received feedback from customers that it would be nice if the calendar showed you in a color or bigger words where you are on the page. The layout of the booking links arent fully customizable so there's often a lot of blank space where you see an image and the description of the service. Also, a lot of our contractors simply use their cellphone for use of the site but the mobile version of the site is limited to what you can do compared to the desktop version. We pay our contracctors here by a percentage so having to come up with the numbers for pay was tasking as the platform only supports hourly pay and a flat rate. If you use stripe they do not have a surchage option so having to add in the processing fees has been an adjustment for the company and our students. > > Overrall this platform give us a direct connection with our students and families that we did not have before. The students/families have overwhelming and consistently reported how much they love the new system. They can keep track of the calendar, invoices, and notes from the teacher all in one place. It's made invoicing, payments, scheduling easier and automatic which have saved a great deal of time and eased any duplications or double payments. We can also send out newsletters and run promotions straight from the site which has been a fantastic way to centralize our efforts. ----- ### "Good with room to grow." — 4.0/5 > **Sonja** | *18 December 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: User experience is clean and professional, so it gives a good first impression to our music studio clients. > > **Cons**: The reporting is messy. We often have to make manual head counts for our studio to get accurate enrollment numbers for our lessons, which are 90% group lessons, because the reporting is unclear. We would love clear, concise reports that are easily downloadable. > > It's good, and with better reporting could be much better. We want to know how many unique students are registered each week, even if they are absent. We have unlimited make up lessons, so those students with credits get missed or double-counted if they use their credit. ----- ### "The Music School Software for Optimization & Growth" — 5.0/5 > **Nicole** | *19 December 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how they focus on GROWTH. All their features help music studio owners stay organized with leads, reporting, tracking, and keeping processes efficient. > > **Cons**: The design is boxy and a bit older. A good analogy is Microsoft vs Apple design. Opus1 is Microsoft. There's also little small things that are annoying that you would think would be easy to fix/customize, but we can't. > > It was tough at first. Mainly because our original policies didn't operate like a business. Eventually we changed our policies to compliment the tech that Opus1 gave us, and things really shot up from there. It's helped us scale tremendously, giving us lots of time and mental headspace to stay creative and stay on top of tasks. Highly recommend\! ----- ### "Great Value for the Money - and Indispensable if your school is growing\!" — 5.0/5 > **Deborah** | *20 December 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Before we changed to Opus 1 there was so much backoffice work to be done when a student signed up. Now, when they sign up online there is very little additional tasks to be done. Now that we have doubled in size I'm so grateful for all of Opus's time saving features. I have Opus Plus so we have texting whih is amazing - all our texting comes and goes through it so we have record of everything in each family's account. Also, the support is better than any other company I have interacted with. Quick response, accurate info, and the Opus team goes above and beyond to help figure out anything I throw at them\! > > **Cons**: I have yet to really feel I can trust all of the reporting - the figures on the dashboard don't always seem to make sense. But I feel like it has improved since we started. > > Excellent. I am a loyal fan\!\! Great training, great support, and invaluable features\! They also are continually adding more features and improving the system. Top notch all around\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/430145/opus1?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/430145/opus1) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
