## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd sort it, because "best" splits into two different questions: marketplaces that bring you students (and take a cut), versus software to run your own tutoring business (you find students, you keep everything).
> 
> ## Marketplaces - they bring the students
> 
> **1. Wyzant** - my first recommendation for US-based academic tutoring. You set your own rate, 300+ subjects, and the fee structure is the friendliest of the big marketplaces: roughly 9% per lesson rather than the 25-33% that competitors open with. Typical rates land in the $25-$80+/hr range. The tradeoff is it's US-centric, so the student pool is narrower than the global platforms.
> 
> **2. Superprof** - best economics on paper: you set your rate ($20-$80/hr) and Superprof takes no commission on lessons, because students pay a monthly pass (~$49/mo as of Sept 2026) instead. 1,200+ subjects, in-person or online, and you own the student relationship. The catch is that the student pass is a real friction point - fewer inquiries convert, and lead quality varies a lot by city.
> 
> **3. italki** - the one I'd name for language tutors. 150+ languages, you set rates, no subscription lock-in, huge international student base. Commissi
