TuitionsInIndia vs UrbanPro: how the two models differ
Both platforms help parents and students find tutors. The difference is what each charges tutors for. Every UrbanPro statement below links to UrbanPro's own help center or app-store listing, checked on 31 August 2026 — their model may change; the links are the authority.
| UrbanPro (their pages) | TuitionsInIndia | |
|---|---|---|
| Responding to a student | Coins — described on their help center as "a lead generation fee" — are deducted when a tutor responds to an enquiry. [their refund policy] | Applying is free (10/day on the free plan), and chatting with a student who accepts you is free with no limits. [our pricing] |
| Connecting without paying | Their Play Store listing: "Creating an account is free. To connect with students, a premium membership is required." [their listing] | No membership needed to apply and be chosen. In the requirement flow, money enters only after a student has accepted you: ₹149 one-time for their number, or Pro (₹999/mo). [our pricing] |
| If the student picks someone else | Their policy: "Coins are not refunded if the student connects with any other tutor but not with you." [their refund policy] | In the requirement flow you can't pay for a student who picked someone else — the unlock exists only after they picked you. |
| Commission on tuition fees | Their Partnership Program describes deductions from a student's first payment: a category flat fee of ₹600–₹1,500, plus a percentage above a threshold. [their deductions page] | Zero commission, always. Students pay tutors directly; we never touch tuition fees. [how it works] |
| Fee transparency | We could not find an equivalent public rates page on UrbanPro (checked 31 Aug 2026). | Live median rates by class level, computed daily from real listings, published openly. [live fee data] |
What this page does not claim: we make no statement about UrbanPro's quality of service or outcomes, and none about our own ratings or vetting — TuitionsInIndia does not run identity or background checks, and tutor reviews are still few. This page compares published pricing models only.
Common questions
Do tutors pay for leads on TuitionsInIndia?
Applying to students is free, and chatting with a student who accepts you is free with no limits. In that flow, money enters only after a student has chosen you: ₹149 one-time for that student's phone number, or Tutor Pro at ₹999/month.
How is that different from UrbanPro?
UrbanPro's own help pages describe coins as a lead generation fee, deducted when a tutor responds to an enquiry, and state that coins are not refunded if the student connects with another tutor. On TuitionsInIndia, responding to a student's requirement is free — in that flow a tutor pays only after the student has already chosen them.
Does either platform take a commission on tuition fees?
TuitionsInIndia takes zero commission — students pay tutors directly. UrbanPro's Partnership Program describes deductions of a category flat fee (₹600–₹1,500) plus a percentage from a student's first payment, per its own help page.
