As of October 2026, published online Quran class fees commonly covered 30-minute one-to-one lessons in monthly plans of 8 to 20 classes, with hourly rates around USD 8 to USD 17. UK-facing plans started at GBP 25 for 8 classes.
Which academies did we check, and how?
The supplied comparison covers 13 academy websites, with published prices checked on 20–21 October 2026. The table compares operator-published list prices, formats and stated conditions. The sample is small and non-random. The prices are not a market average, an endorsement, or evidence of what families actually paid after discounts or scholarships.
The hourly range is not a US domestic average. Keep currencies separate; no prices below have been converted.
The calculations below divide published package prices by stated class counts. Figures marked “our arithmetic” are calculations, not additional academy offers; displayed decimals are rounded. Where lesson quantities are missing, an hourly comparison would require assumptions, so the table leaves that calculation unavailable.

The table records published offers as of October 2026, rather than a ranking of teaching quality. Missing quantities prevent meaningful division, and different formats prevent direct comparisons. The Quran For Kids inconsistency deserves particular care: do not silently replace the published lesson count with the count you expect from the weekly schedule.
For Quran Sheikh’s annual increase condition, the source is its terms and refund policy. The academy says fees may increase by approximately 10% annually at the end of the Gregorian calendar year. Treat that condition as part of the offer, rather than assuming the displayed monthly price stays unchanged.
Should you sell monthly packages or charge by the hour?
Monthly packages and hourly pricing both appear in the October 2026 sample. Monthly packages present a recurring schedule and bill together. Hourly pricing makes lesson time easier to compare across durations. Choose the model your families can understand and your team can administer, then explain whether the charge buys a fixed lesson count or follows the calendar.
For a parent seeking a lower published entry price, Quran For Kids lists USD 39 for 8 classes against TarteeleQuran’s USD 40. For a buyer comparing time directly, IQRA Network’s hourly tiers are easier to read than an offer that states a monthly starting price without lesson quantities.
A monthly package still needs rules for missed classes, holidays and makeups. An hourly price still needs a payment schedule. Use the Quran academy policies benchmark to identify the promises your price must support.
What do UK-facing academies charge in GBP?
UK-facing academy plans in the October 2026 sample start at GBP 25 for 8 monthly 30-minute lessons at Learn Quran UK and Quran For Kids. Quran Sheikh and Quran Institute Online UK list GBP 30 for 8 classes. Eaalim instead lists hourly tiers from GBP 9 to GBP 13, so compare lesson time before comparing totals.
For a family choosing mainly on the published 20-class price, Learn Quran UK’s GBP 40 plan is lower than Quran Sheikh’s GBP 65 plan. That difference establishes the listed cost, not which academy provides the more suitable teacher or timetable.
Name the currency, lesson duration and included classes together. Quran Institute Online UK’s separate GBP and EUR lists avoid asking families to calculate a conversion.
How do hifz, group, family and registration fees change the price?
Course format and additional charges can change the amount a family compares. In the October 2026 sample, hifz has a higher published price at TarteeleQuran and a higher starting price at Studio Arabiya. Group tuition, family offers and registration charges also appear. Keep those categories separate from private regular lessons when setting your benchmark.
TarteeleQuran lists USD 175 for 20 hifz classes against USD 88 for 20 regular classes. Studio Arabiya’s starting prices do not establish equal lesson quantities. The published difference alone does not prove why an academy charges more; ask about teaching time and course requirements.
Hidayah Network prices groups by the number of students. Muallim-ul-Quran lists a separate family offer and registration charge. A family class offer is different from a discount for siblings attending separate private lessons. Define that distinction before using another academy’s family price as your reference.
Discounts also need boundaries. Learn Quran UK’s stated sibling discount applies to its 5-day plan. Use family billing and sibling discounts to work through your own arrangement, including which plan qualifies and what happens when a sibling stops.
How should you set your own class price?
Set your class price from the cost of delivering the promised lessons, then compare that result with relevant published offers. Teacher pay, payment processing and administration belong in your calculation. The supplied evidence does not show teacher pay rates, processing fees or the share of tuition paid to teachers, so use your own records rather than a borrowed percentage.
- Define the offer. State lesson duration, frequency, currency and billing basis. Decide whether the monthly amount covers a stated class count or the actual scheduled lessons.
- Calculate delivery cost. Include teacher pay for the promised teaching time and the work required around classes. Use your actual arrangements; competitor tuition prices do not reveal competitor payroll.
- Check collection costs. Use your payment provider’s applicable charges from your account. Keep fixed transaction costs distinct from percentage charges, and include the work of resolving unpaid invoices.
- Price the policies. Decide how cancellations, makeups and refunds affect the amount you collect and the teaching time you still provide. Put those rules beside the plan before enrollment.
- Check the amount left. Subtract delivery and collection costs from revenue. The remainder must cover shared overhead and leave the margin your academy needs. Revisit the calculation when your costs change.
Example — our arithmetic: TarteeleQuran’s published regular plan gives USD 40 ÷ 8 classes = USD 5 per 30-minute class. Its larger regular plan gives USD 88 ÷ 20 = USD 4.40 per class. That is a lower selling price per lesson, not evidence of a lower delivery cost or a profitable plan.
The online academy unit economics guide connects your selling price with the cost of serving each student.
Halqora supports per-student currencies and prepaid or postpaid monthly billing; include your management cost using Halqora pricing.
How Halqora handles this
Halqora is management software for online academies. Halqora schedules and bills one-to-one classes; siblings can share a family invoice. Monthly billing runs create draft invoices for an admin to review and send. Invoices stay in the student’s currency rather than being converted. Those boundaries matter when you put your published pricing policy into practice.
