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.
House of Math
House of Math suits older students and families who want an app for maths and science, with a trial lesson listed as free and a free tier. The trade-off is choice: the tutor roster of from 140 is short, so learners who want a wide subject range get more from BUKI.

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.
House of Math
Pros
- The trial lesson is listed as free and a free tier comes with the service, so a family can look before the first bill.
- Tutors are background checked and the vetting level is screened, so the roster is selected rather than open.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering phone and chat as well as email and a help centre.
Cons
- The tutor roster of from 140 is short, where tutor counts across this comparison typically sit at 3,900.
- Subjects stop at math and science, while ErsteNachhilfe lists math, english and languages and BUKI lists math, science and languages.
- The free trial lasts 7 days, shorter than the 10 day trial typical in this comparison.
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.
House of Math
Who it suits
- Families with teenagers who need maths or science support and are comfortable with a short tutor list.
- Learners who want to test the service at no cost: the trial lesson is free and a free tier is included.
- Norwegian and Ukrainian speaking households, since the platform runs in English, Norwegian and Ukrainian.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for families who need languages, coding or school subjects: BUKI lists math, science and languages.
- Not for anyone who prefers a discounted first lesson to a free one: DojoTutor's trial is discounted.
- Not for shoppers who want a deep tutor pool: tutor counts on this site typically sit at 3,900, against from 140 here.

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.
House of Math
Is there a free trial, and how long do I have to decide?+
House of Math runs a free tier and a free trial of 7 days, plus a trial lesson listed as free. That gives a family a short window to check the tutor fit and the maths and science material before the subscription starts.
Which subjects does House of Math cover?+
Maths and science, listed under math and science. That focus is the trade off against BUKI, which covers math, science and languages, and ErsteNachhilfe with math, english and languages. A household that needs languages, coding or school homework support will find more cover elsewhere.
