OBRI vs Superprof — CRM for Your Students vs Marketplace Discovery

Superprof is a tutoring marketplace across Europe. Compare it with OBRI when you already have students and need scheduling, homework, and payment tracking without platform fees.

Best for: Tutors who bill repeat clients directly after finding them on Superprof or locally.

In short

No. Superprof is for discovery. OBRI manages students you already teach — whether they came from Superprof, referrals, or local search.

Why tutors switch from Superprof to OBRI

  • Regular students still flow through Superprof fees unnecessarily.
  • You track payments outside the platform in spreadsheets.
  • Parents want homework and progress in one place.
  • You teach 10+ weekly regulars — marketplace inbox is not a CRM.

The bottom line

Superprof is a lead-generation marketplace: you pay for visibility and it connects you with prospective students, but it is not a system for running lessons. After the introduction, you are on your own for scheduling, homework, and payments.

That is exactly where OBRI starts. Use Superprof to get found, then bring students into OBRI for recurring lessons, a homework portal, payment tracking, and parent access — all commission-free and owned by you.

  1. 1Collect the students Superprof introduced you to and their contact details.
  2. 2Open a free OBRI account and add them as students.
  3. 3Set up recurring lessons, homework, and your own payment method.
  4. 4Manage everything in OBRI, using Superprof purely for new leads.
