| Compare | Tutorperch | TutorDex |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Worth it | Depends |
| Best for | UK parents hiring independent tutors | UK private tutors |
| Who it's not for | Families wanting platform-held payments or dispute protection | Tutors needing guaranteed student lead volume |
| Privacy | No known vulnerabilities in reviewed sources; Gridinsoft trust score is 63/100 and no public security page exists; DBS checks are done manually.² | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed; Gridinsoft rates the site 79/100 and appears genuine, but there is no published security page.16 |
| Support quality | Hand-reviewed tutors; 5/5 Trustpilot | No direct evidence |
| Public sentiment | Trustpilot shows 5/5 and Reddit tutors report early clients, though some dismiss it as a First Tutors clone.¹ | Tutors on Reddit and Trustpilot treat TutorDex as the main First Tutors successor, though some praise traces back to the founder.11 |
| Biggest gotcha | No commission means no escrow; lesson payments go straight to tutors with no platform recourse³ | Zero commission means the platform does not handle payments or disputes for you.15 |
