Tutors are great. Preply business practices are not great. They removed option to cancel a subscription from the phone app, have to do it on a laptop, while they make it very easy to add many more lessons on the phone app. They show a low price for trial lesson, then when you click it to book the price is much higher (a trick called click and bait). Their tutors don't get paid for trial lessons even if we as students subscribe to that tutor or don't request a refund.

Thanks for your feedback. Trial lesson prices are set by tutors and shown clearly at checkout. Tutors do receive payments for lessons after trials. We're working to improve transparency across the platform.

The app is great as a platform for language learning. But the company is run like an internet scam. Its business model seems to depend on trapping you into subscriptions and paying for lessons you can't use (im guessing because the company takes the money when you don't meet with a tutor). It's full of little traps. Restrictions on cancelling or changing your subscription, lesson credits that expire if you don't use them before the end of the month, etc.

technical issues... freezes often, also not a great pool instructors... you have to pay for the trial sessions to figure out the instructor is not a great fit, and Preply does not appear to care (they refer to their policy that favors their profit! not customer satisfaction) so be very careful with your selections, there is a fine print for the refund offer posted on their website (be aware)!
