Sorted by price per hour, cheapest first. Sessions run from 22 to 120 minutes, so the hourly figure is the only like-for-like comparison.

It is not available to younger children and is not taught by professional teachers: the terms require "You confirm that you are 13 years of age or older" and tutors are unpaid student volunteers — "Our tutors are high school students just like you" — certified only by passing Khan Academy unit tests. Series are also tutor-dependent and can vanish; one observed math series shows "cancelled by the tutor".

The advertised $15/class floor is only available on the 12-month commitment (104 classes, billed as a "$1560 coaching fee, billed every 52 weeks"); the 6-month plan raises the same tier to $17/class and adds a "$90 platform fee per billing cycle" that the 12-month plan waives.

The heavily advertised "$17.70/lesson" headline — used in page titles across their whole site — is not a general rate: the pricing page shows it requires the 12-month plan AND states "All prices apply to packages of 2 lessons per week". A 1-month term costs $21.90/lesson, roughly 24% more.

The "7 days free" trial is not card-free: their own free-trial page states "Billing details are required to activate the trial, but no charge occurs unless you continue past Day 7", and billing begins automatically on day 8 unless the parent cancels first.

Sessions are only "50 to 55 minutes of teaching time", and prepaid packs expire on a fixed clock — the 10-session pack must be used within 3 months and the 50-session pack within 6 months, so unused sessions are forfeited.

The advertised $29-$40/hr rates buy on-demand drop-in help from whichever tutor happens to be available, not a consistent teacher who knows the child — a dedicated tutor requires the Comprehensive Tutoring product, whose hourly packages start at "$80/hr", roughly double.

The advertised $56 is the bottom of a $56–$99 per-session band, and Learner's own site says rates “vary based on the tutor's experience and level of education, as well as the tutoring package” — so the figure you are quoted may be nearly double. The trial is not free either: it costs $25.

K12 Tutoring does not serve grades K-3 at all — their about page states coverage of "grades 4-12", so families of kindergarten through third-grade children cannot use it.

There is no low-cost group option for math: their only group product is test prep ("up to 10 students ... Grades 9-12 ... starting at $499"), so every math subject from elementary through AP Calculus is sold exclusively as 1-on-1 packages with a 12-hour minimum entry buy of $948.

It is metered on-demand homework help, not a taught course, and the meter does not roll over — their own pricing FAQ states unused minutes expire monthly and are replenished by plan tier, so a light month is money lost, and the child gets whichever tutor is available rather than a consistent one building on a curriculum.

Membership pricing is not published anywhere on the site — every pricing route replaces a price with a lead form ("Get Started in 60 Seconds") or a sales phone number, so you cannot compare cost without giving up contact details and taking a sales call.
