# Online tutoring app development > An online tutoring app connects students with teachers for live classes, one-to-one sessions, recorded courses, tests and doubt solving, with scheduling and payments. Infikey builds branded apps for coaching institutes and tutor marketplaces, with live video, test series, analytics and secure content. Typical builds cost USD 25,000–60,000. Live and recorded classes, test series, doubt solving and tutor marketplaces in your own branded app, built to keep students practising and parents informed. - **Budget:** USD 25k–60k (INR 20–50 lakh) - **Formats:** Live, 1:1, recorded, test series - **Apps:** Student, tutor, parent, admin ## Two common models - **Institute app**: your faculty teaches batches live and through recorded lectures; students buy courses or subscriptions; parents track progress. - **Tutor marketplace**: independent tutors list subjects, rates and availability; students book one-to-one or group sessions; the platform takes a commission and pays tutors out. ## Features | Area | Features | |---|---| | Classes | Live classes with whiteboard, screen share and recording; batch schedules; attendance | | Content | Recorded lectures with secure streaming, notes, offline downloads | | Practice | Test series, mock exams with timers, rank lists, detailed solutions, performance analytics | | Doubts | Photo-based doubt posting, tutor replies, AI-assisted answers reviewed by tutors | | Marketplace | Tutor profiles, verification, reviews, booking calendar, commissions and payouts | | Commerce | Courses, subscriptions, EMI options, coupons, referral rewards | | Parents | Attendance, test scores and progress reports | ## Cost | Scope | Budget (USD) | Budget (INR) | |---|---|---| | Institute app: live classes, recorded courses, tests, payments | 25,000–45,000 | 20–35 lakh | | Tutor marketplace with booking, video, payouts and reviews | 35,000–60,000 | 28–50 lakh | | Large test-prep platform with adaptive practice and AI doubt solving | 60,000–120,000 | 50 lakh–1 crore | Live video minutes and streaming bandwidth are running costs.

We add tutor verification, recorded sessions, in-app chat only (no personal numbers shared), reporting tools and parental consent flows in line with child data rules such as the DPDP Act in India, COPPA in the US and the UK Children’s Code. Coaching centres in India should also check state and central guidelines on registration and student welfare. ## Project blueprint: Live tutoring app for a coaching institute going online Based on the requirements we hear most often from buyers like this. A coaching institute with classroom centres wants to reach students in other cities with live online batches, recorded revision lessons and regular tests, without losing the personal attention it is known for. What we would build: - Student app with live batches, recordings and doubt-solving chat - Teacher tools for scheduling, attendance and homework - Test series with rankings and topic-wise analysis - Parent view of attendance and test performance - Batch-based payments and access control How success is measured: - Students enrolled from outside the centre cities - Live class attendance rate - Doubts answered within the promised time - Batch renewal rate ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does it cost to build a tutoring app like Byju’s or Unacademy? A focused institute app with live classes, recorded courses, tests and payments typically costs USD 25,000–45,000 (about INR 20–35 lakh). Matching a large national platform with adaptive learning and AI features costs more and is usually built in phases. ### Which video technology do you use for live classes? We use WebRTC-based providers such as Agora, Zoom Video SDK, 100ms or Daily for interactive classes, and HLS streaming for large lectures with thousands of students. ### Can tutors be paid automatically? Yes. For marketplaces, payments are collected through a marketplace payment product and tutors receive scheduled payouts after commission, with statements for every session. ## Related guides - [Education software development company](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/education): Infikey Technologies builds education software: learning management systems (LMS), school and college management systems, online tutoring an... - [Flutter vs React Native: which should you choose?](https://infikeytechnologies.com/compare/flutter-vs-react-native): Choose Flutter when you want pixel-consistent custom UI, smooth animations and one team owning iOS, Android and possibly desktop.
