Why tutors switch from Wisely to OBRI

  • You are solo — school starter packs and teacher payouts are overhead you do not need.
  • You want a permanent free tier while you prove the workflow.
  • UA Mono pricing in hryvnia matters more than USD-listed packs.
  • You care about homework submissions and student login without school roles.

The bottom line

Wisely is built to span private teachers and online schools: team schedules, payouts, public pages, and school packs priced by teacher count. That breadth is valuable when you run staff.

OBRI stays solo-first: permanent free up to 3 students, UAH Pro/Premium via Mono, homework portal, and Telegram reminders without school-admin overhead. If you are one tutor, Wisely’s school features are mostly unused weight; if you manage a faculty, Wisely (or similar) is the better shape.

  2. 2Create OBRI; import or add students; recreate recurring lessons.
  3. 3Turn on homework and connect Telegram in Profile.
