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 forever plan. PlatformEasy targets the registered home-services provider, with an instant tax-credit advance and native mobile apps. The choice mostly depends on your status.
Updated 15 September 2026
This comparison puts Kadrella and PlatformEasy side by side on concrete points: pricing, student management, tax credit, mobile apps and bank reconciliation. Neither wins everywhere, and the right choice mostly depends on your status: a registered home-services provider or an independent tutor.
PlatformEasy is connected to the URSSAF API and offers the instant tax-credit advance, where the client only pays half up front, plus native iOS and Android apps and QR or NFC clock-in. These are features reserved for registered providers, which an independent tutor does not need to activate. Kadrella, on the other hand, builds on WhatsApp, Superprof import, a unified inbox and a free forever plan.
Pricing follows the same split. PlatformEasy starts at €39/month excluding VAT, with no free plan, and a 30-day trial for €1. Kadrella stays free forever to start, then €29 or €49/month, all taxes included. If you are not a registered home-services provider and don't need the instant advance or a native mobile app, most of what PlatformEasy charges for goes unused, and that's where Kadrella becomes the logical choice.

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, which Kadrella does not do. Plan one to two hours for a solo tutor, half a day for a small business.
Frequently asked questions
Kadrella or PlatformEasy for a home-services provider?+
For a registered provider that must offer the instant tax-credit advance through the URSSAF API, PlatformEasy is more complete. For an independent tutor without that registration, Kadrella covers the essentials at a fixed price, with a free plan.
What is the price difference between Kadrella and PlatformEasy?+
Kadrella is free forever on its base plan, then €29 or €49/month all taxes included. PlatformEasy starts at €39/month excluding VAT, with no free plan and a 30-day trial for €1 (read 25 July 2026).
Does PlatformEasy handle WhatsApp and Superprof?+
No. PlatformEasy has no WhatsApp integration and no Superprof import. Kadrella centralizes WhatsApp messages in a unified inbox and imports Superprof students without retyping. Both are Kadrella features.
Does Kadrella do the instant tax-credit advance like PlatformEasy?+
No. PlatformEasy is connected to the URSSAF API for the instant advance, where the client only pays half up front. Kadrella generates tax certificates for the 50% tax credit, but without the instant advance. If your clients rely on this, PlatformEasy keeps the edge.
Does PlatformEasy have a mobile app and Kadrella does not?+
Yes. PlatformEasy offers native iOS and Android apps, with QR and NFC clock-in. Kadrella has no native app yet: it runs in the browser. If your staff need a dedicated app in the field, PlatformEasy has the edge.
Does Kadrella fit a registered home-services provider?+
Kadrella is not connected to the URSSAF API and does not offer the instant tax-credit advance, a point where a registered provider needs PlatformEasy. For a private tutor or a small tutoring business, without that registration, Kadrella is enough and stays cheaper.
Does PlatformEasy do bank reconciliation like Kadrella?+
Not natively. PlatformEasy goes through a Pennylane integration for the accounting side. Kadrella matches incoming transfers directly to the right students, read-only, with no third-party accounting software.
