What makes OBRI different?
Most tutoring tools are either marketplaces (they take a commission) or coaching tools repurposed for tutors. OBRI is built specifically for independent tutors from day one.
- Free plan — permanent, not a trial.
- Student homework portal built in.
- Recurring lessons without manual recreation.
- Payment tracking without commissions.
- Parent-facing portal for progress updates.
- Ukrainian + English UI — built for UA tutors.
- Flat pricing — not per-tutor or per-lesson.
- Your data, always exportable.
When OBRI is NOT the right choice
- You run a 10-tutor agency needing payroll features.
- You primarily need a marketplace to find new students.
- You sell high-ticket coaching packages (not recurring lessons).
