Comparison
Kadrella vs PlatformEasy: which to choose for your tutoring
Kadrella and PlatformEasy are both French tools, but for different statuses. Kadrella targets the independent tutor with WhatsApp, Superprof import and a free plan. PlatformEasy targets the home-services provider, with the instant tax-credit advance, tax certificates, online payments and optional mobile apps. The choice mostly depends on your status.

This comparison puts Kadrella and PlatformEasy side by side on concrete points: pricing, student management, tax credit, payments, mobile apps and bank reconciliation. Neither wins everywhere, and the right choice mostly depends on your status: a home-services provider or an independent tutor.
From its Solo plan, PlatformEasy offers the instant tax-credit advance through URSSAF, where the client only pays half up front, tax certificates and online payment by card or SEPA. The Pro plan adds QR or NFC clock-in, and iOS and Android apps are available as an add-on. Kadrella does none of that. It builds on WhatsApp, Superprof import, automatic lesson and late-payment reminders, and a permanent free plan.
Pricing follows the same split. PlatformEasy starts at €39/month excluding VAT, with no free plan, and a first month for €1. Kadrella stays free to start, then €29/month with integrations or €49/month with invoicing and bank reconciliation. If you are not a home-services provider and need neither the instant advance nor online payment collection, much of what PlatformEasy charges for goes unused, and that's where Kadrella becomes the logical choice.

Who Kadrella is the best choice for
- You are an independent tutor or a small tutoring business, and you want a simple tool, without the heavy home-services (SAP) layer.

- You get students through Superprof and want to import them without retyping.
- You want to start free, with unlimited students and tutors, before paying anything.
- You want automatic lesson reminders and late-payment reminders on WhatsApp, where families already write to you.
Who PlatformEasy stays the best choice for
- You are a declared home-services (SAP) provider and you want to offer the instant tax-credit advance through URSSAF, along with tax certificates.
- You want to collect payments from clients online, by card or SEPA direct debit, from the first plan.
- You want iOS and Android apps in your own branding (paid add-on) and QR or NFC clock-in (Pro plan).
- You delegate invoicing to your staff and manage commissions.
- You run a network or a franchise with several staff accounts.
Migrating from PlatformEasy
The switch is a CSV export of your students from PlatformEasy, then an import into Kadrella. Superprof students come in automatically. First check whether you rely on the instant tax-credit advance, tax certificates or online payment collection, which Kadrella does not do. Plan one to two hours for a solo tutor, half a day for a small business.
