Our verdict on each
Cuemath
Cuemath suits families who want live maths help for a single child, and the trial lesson is free. Lessons start at €9 and the tutor roster of 4,000 is large, but the maths only focus and the long commitment window narrow who it works for.
GoStudent
GoStudent suits families who want 1to1 and group online lessons with a large screened tutor pool of 23,000 and a trial lesson listed as free. Lessons start at £22.71 and the GoStudent subscription is £14.90, so the entry cost is modest, while 1 hours cancellation notice is the detail to read first.

Pros and cons
Cuemath
Pros
- Entry price of €9 is under the online tutoring median of €25.63.
- The trial lesson is free, so a family can meet a tutor before paying.
- A roster of 4,000 tutors, with vetting listed as certified, gives a learner room to be matched and to switch.
Cons
- The catalogue is limited to math, so a child who needs another subject has to look elsewhere.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line in that list.
- Lesson format is 1to1, so there is no group class option in the same plan.
GoStudent
Pros
- Tutor choice is the strongest point: a pool of 23,000, where the comparable tutor count median is 3,900.
- The trial lesson is free, so a family can size up a tutor before any recurring spend.
- Lessons come in 1to1 and group formats, so a child can move to group work without changing platform.
Cons
- Cancellations need 1 hours' notice, which is short for a family booking a block of lessons across a term.
- A single GoStudent lesson starts at £22.71, where the comparable starting price median is €44.31, so occasional sessions sit above a typical entry point.
- The starting lesson price of £22.71 puts GoStudent at 18 of 32 brands compared, a mid-field entry cost.
Who each suits
Cuemath
Who it suits
- Parents who want to see a tutor before paying, since the trial lesson is free.
- Families who want a large, vetted pool, with 4,000 tutors and vetting listed as certified.
- Learners who study maths and value a short notice period of 12 hours on cancellation.
Who should look elsewhere
- Parents whose child needs a subject other than maths, since Cuemath lists math alone; BUKI is the alternative to price up at PLN 50.
- Families who put phone support above subject focus, because Cuemath runs on email, chat and help centre and DojoTutor and ErsteNachhilfe are the two to check first.
GoStudent
Who it suits
- Families with a child in secondary school who want online lessons across math, english and science in 1to1 and group formats.
- Parents who want to test the platform before paying, since the trial lesson is free.
- Learners in GoStudent's markets, GB, DE and AT, who want a large pool of screened tutors to pick from.
Who should look elsewhere
- DojoTutor, which lists a lesson from $10, for a reader who wants a second currency listing on the starting price before choosing.
- BUKI, listed from PLN 50, for families in Poland who would rather read prices in zloty.
- ErsteNachhilfe, listed from €10.50, for a reader who wants a euro listing set against GoStudent's sterling entry price.

Questions about each
Cuemath
How much does a Cuemath lesson cost?+
The entry lesson price is €9. Across the online tutoring brands tracked here, the median entry price is €25.63 and the upper quartile reaches €48.45. Cuemath's entry point therefore sits below the middle of the field, which matters for families starting with a tight budget.
Is there a free trial lesson?+
The trial lesson is free. Free trials are the norm in this category rather than a differentiator: 78.8% of the online tutoring brands tracked here also offer one. Its value is that a child can sit in a real session before any commitment, rather than work through a sample worksheet.
GoStudent
How much does a GoStudent lesson cost?+
A GoStudent lesson starts at £22.71, and that is the entry price rather than an average. Families who take a block of lessons usually look at the GoStudent subscription of £14.90 instead, since the same tutor on a fixed timetable is easier to budget as a recurring charge. Both figures are listed on the GoStudent price page.
Is the GoStudent trial lesson free?+
The GoStudent trial lesson is free, so a first session carries no charge. That lets a family see whether a tutor and a child work together before any recurring arrangement starts. The trial sits alongside the GoStudent subscription, which is what a family pays for if the tutoring carries on.
