Cost guide · 2026
Tutoring websites range from completely free to $4,000 custom builds. Here's what each tier delivers — and the cheapest way to start getting students.
Quick answer
A tutor's website costs $0–$216/year on AI builders, $200–$500/year on hosted builders, and $1,000–$4,000 for a custom freelance build. Most independent tutors spend under $300/year all-in.
From cheapest to most expensive — what you get, who it's for, and the realistic total.
$0 – $216/year
Solo tutors, new tutoring businesses

Established tutors with multiple subjects
$800 – $3,000 one-time + hosting
Tutoring centres, multi-tutor services
$600 – $1,500/year + commissions
Tutors leveraging existing student marketplaces
These line items aren't always quoted up front but they add up fast.
Calendly free works for most. Acuity ($16/mo) adds payment integration. TutorBird ($15–$45/mo) is tutoring-specific.
Zoom Pro ($14/mo) if free tier limits you. Specialist tools like BitPaper ($10/mo) for whiteboard-style tutoring.
A simple, professional headshot ($100–$300) is enough — tutoring is about your credibility, not interior design.
If you also list on Wyzant or Preply, factor in 15–40% commission per lesson. Many tutors use these for discovery and own-site for repeat clients.
The cheapest option, done well
Adviita generates a complete tutor website from your description in seconds. Free forever — upgrade to ~$18/mo when you want a custom domain.

Yes. Wyzant takes 15–40% commission per lesson. A direct website lets you keep 100% from repeat clients and referrals — pays for itself fast.
Calendly + Stripe integration (free), or Acuity with built-in payments ($16/mo). Both cheaper than building it yourself.
Multi-tutor centres benefit from custom design with tutor bios, search/filter, and subject pages. Solo tutors don't.
For under-18 tutoring, parents are buyers. For test prep or adult learning, students are buyers. Write copy for whoever pays.
