Best Online Quran Academies Compared — Fees, Trials and Reviews
Seven academies, ours included, compared on what parents ask first. Every figure comes from each academy's own website on 23 October 2026, and we say plainly where others are stronger than us.

Read this first
We are Online Quran Lessons, one of the seven academies below, so read this page knowing that. It is a selection of seven, not every academy online. Nobody paid to be included, and we list ourselves first only because this is our site — the right academy depends on your child, your budget and your timetable.
Every price and policy was read from each academy's own website on 23 October 2026, and every rating from Trustpilot on the same day. Prices change, so check the academy's own page before you pay. Where an academy does not publish something, the table says so rather than guessing.
The seven at a glance
The lowest published monthly price, the free trial, lesson length, teacher choice and independent reviews — side by side.
| Academy | Lowest published price | Free trial | Lesson length | Male or female teacher | Trustpilot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Online Quran Lessons (this is us) | $30 a month (1 class a week) | 3 free classes, no card | 30 min (45 for Hifz, same fee) | Your choice, same fee | 2 reviews so far — too few for a fair score |
| QuranHost | $37 a month (2 classes a week) | Up to 3 free classes, no card | Not stated on plans (courses list 30–45 min) | Male and female tutors | 4.9 from 184 reviews |
| IQRA Network | $12 an hour (billed on hours booked) | Free first lesson | Not stated | Not stated | 4.8 from 459 reviews |

Read on 23 October 2026 from each academy's website and Trustpilot. Qutor is a marketplace of tutors rather than a single academy.

Book Free TrialWho is watching the lesson, refunds and track record
For a child, who else can see the lesson matters as much as the price. So does what happens if it does not work out.
| Academy | Supervision and parent access | Refund | Teaching since |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online Quran Lessons (this is us) | A female supervisor checks every class; parents can sit in on any class | 7-day money-back guarantee on the first paid month | 2018 |
| QuranHost | Tutors described as vetted and monitored; details not published | Full refund only if you withdraw before the billing month starts and no classes were taken | 2012 |
| IQRA Network | Academic coach and progress reports; parent dashboard on higher plans | Not published on the pricing page | 2017 |
| eQuranSchool | Parents may watch any class | Set out on a separate refund page; absences are not refunded | 2008 |
| TarteeleQuran | Quality-control team and a monthly progress report | Full refund only before classes begin; none after the first session | Says “15+ years” |
| Al-Dirassa Institute | Progress tracking and teacher reports | Not published on the plans page | Says “since 2012” |
| Qutor | “Parental Watch” lesson clips; lessons can be recorded | Not published; unused credits last one year | Not stated |
What a lesson really costs
Monthly prices are hard to compare because plans count lessons differently. Worked out per lesson from the cheapest and the largest published plans:
- Online Quran Lessons (us): $7.50 down to $2.95 per 30-minute lesson — the lowest per-lesson price of the academies here that publish full prices
- eQuranSchool: $4.63 down to $3.70 per 30-minute lesson, with 20% off for each extra sibling
- TarteeleQuran: $5.00 down to $4.40 per 30-minute lesson, plus a one-time registration fee
- QuranHost: $4.63 down to $3.95 per lesson (plan lesson length not stated)
- IQRA Network: $12–$17 an hour, so about $6–$8.50 for 30 minutes
- Al-Dirassa: from €29.70 a month for one hour a week; Qutor: the tutor's own rate plus a 20% platform fee (minimum $1)
Who each one may suit
A fair one-line summary of each — including where we fall short.
- Online Quran Lessons (us): named teachers with their qualifications, a female supervisor in every class, male or female at the same fee, from $30 a month and a 7-day money-back guarantee. Our weak point today: only 2 Trustpilot reviews so far.
- eQuranSchool: a long track record (since 2008) and a generous 20% sibling discount; plans start at 2 classes a week.
- TarteeleQuran: a monthly progress report and payment options such as Zelle; note the registration fee and that fees are not refunded after the first session.
- QuranHost: the longest track record here (since 2012) and the highest Trustpilot score; 10% off for each extra sibling.
- IQRA Network: hourly billing, an academic coach and a parent dashboard, with by far the most Trustpilot reviews.
- Al-Dirassa Institute: suits teens, adults and families in Europe who want euro pricing and a same-gender teacher.
- Qutor: for parents who want to interview and pick a tutor themselves; quality depends on the tutor you choose.
How to decide
Shortlist two or three, book each one's free trial, and sit in. Within three lessons you will know whether the teacher listens to every letter, corrects mistakes kindly and keeps your child reading aloud. Our 10-point checklist works on any academy, including us.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which online Quran academy is the best?
There is no single best one. For a young child, look first at who is in the lesson, whether you can choose the teacher, and the cost per lesson — then let the free trials decide.
Why is your own academy on this list?
Because parents compare us with these academies anyway. We used the same checks on everyone, us included, and we show where others are ahead — for example, they have far more Trustpilot reviews than we do today.
Are these prices still correct?
They were correct on each academy's website on 23 October 2026. Prices and policies change, so always check the academy's own page before you pay.
What do your classes cost?
Plans start at $30 a month (£24, €28) for 4 one-to-one classes, with no registration fee and all materials included. Siblings get a 10% family discount from the second child, and the first 3 classes are free.
