CELCAT Timetabler vs TimeTabler

Both stand on school scheduling software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

CELCAT Timetabler

Paid Web

Institutions that need constrained scheduling, room booking, and personalised timetable publishing should consider CELCAT Timetabler. The main reason to look elsewhere is its institution-dependent setup and per-user pricing if those costs do not suit your needs.
