Brighterly plans and prices
As of October 2026, Brighterly's pricing page lists four commitment lengths, all based on two lessons a week and billed monthly: 1 month from $21.90 per lesson, 3 months from $21.40, 6 months from $20.20, and 12 months from $17.70. At two lessons a week, that is roughly $140–$190 a month depending on term. Prices are listed as starting points, so the exact quote depends on the plan you choose after the demo lesson.

- Discounts
- Longer commitment pricing: Per-lesson price drops on 3-, 6- and 12-month plans; the 12-month plan has the lowest listed rate.

Is Brighterly worth the money?
Brighterly delivers live one-on-one math and reading lessons at a lower per-lesson price than most US tutoring, and its demo lesson lets you judge fit before paying. The catch is the contract: plans auto-renew, can't be canceled mid-term, and refunds are limited. Pick the shortest plan first and set a reminder before each renewal.
