# Kadrella vs PlatformEasy: which to choose for your tutoring *Updated 15 September 2026* 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. 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. ## Detailed comparison | Feature | Kadrella | PlatformEasy | | --- | --- | --- | | Main audience | Independent tutors and small tutoring businesses | Home-services (SAP) providers, networks and franchises | | French interface | Yes | Yes | | WhatsApp integration | Yes | No | | Automatic Superprof import | Yes | No | | Unified inbox | Yes | No | | Truly unlimited free plan | Yes | No (30-day trial for €1) | | Tax credit and instant advance | Tax certificates | Instant advance + certificates | | Native mobile app | No | Yes | | QR and NFC clock-in | No | Yes | | Bank reconciliation | Yes | Via Pennylane | | Starting price | Free, then €29/month | From €39/month excl.

VAT. ## Who PlatformEasy stays the best choice for - You are a registered home-services (SAP) provider and you want to offer the instant tax-credit advance through the URSSAF API. - You need native iOS and Android apps for your staff and your clients. - You want QR or NFC clock-in at the place of the lesson. - 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, 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?
