Practice.do Is Shutting Down: Why Coaches Are Turning to Noto
AJ Ding
Managing staff in after-school programs, music schools, or tutoring centers can be a complex juggling act. From tracking hours to running payroll and managing schedules, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Noto is your all-in-one solution for seamless staff management. Let's explore how Noto simplifies your administrative tasks while empowering your staff.
Practice.do Is Shutting Down: Why Coaches Are Turning to Noto
It’s official: Practice.do is closing its doors.
For many coaches, this news hit hard. Your coaching platform isn’t just software — it’s the backbone of your business. Scheduling, payments, contracts, client data — all suddenly at risk.
If you’re feeling frustration, anxiety, or uncertainty about what comes next, you’re not alone. The good news is you don’t have to rebuild from scratch. Noto offers a smooth path forward, helping you transition quickly and safely — while giving you more power, flexibility, and stability than ever before.
Why Practice.do Shut Down
Practice.do raised millions in venture funding but ultimately couldn’t sustain a profitable model. Their team announced that a planned acquisition fell through, leaving them unable to pivot quickly enough to remain operational.
“We were in the process of being acquired, but that acquisition has fallen through. Because we had been preparing for a transition, we are unable to pivot quickly enough to keep operations running independently and thus will be closing our doors.”
If you used Practice.do, this news likely means scrambling to export data, reassure clients, and find a platform that won’t disappear overnight. That’s where Noto comes in.
Why Coaches Are Moving to Noto
While some platforms are rushing to capture displaced coaches, coaches who try Noto quickly realize it’s not just a replacement — it’s an upgrade.
Noto was built for lesson-based professionals — coaches, tutors, instructors, and consultants — who need one place to run their entire business.
