Rumo vs a 1:1 reading tutor

10× cheaper, with 10× more writing practice.

A private 1:1 reading tutor at ~$75/hour, twice a week, runs about $300 a month, and only ~6 minutes of each session is actually spent writing. Rumo Mastery is $29.99 a month, and 15 minutes a day adds up to ~480 minutes of writing, about 10× more.

Tutor cost assumes a typical US private 1:1 reading tutor at ~$75/hour; rates commonly range $50–$150/hour depending on region and credentials. Tutor writing time assumes ~6 minutes of pencil-on-paper writing in a 30-minute session, with the rest spent on reading aloud, decoding, and discussion. Rumo writing time assumes ~15 minutes a day across a month. Billed yearly, Mastery works out to $25 a month, two months free, a wider gap still.

Pricing questions

Questions about plans

What is the difference between lesson pictures and creative pictures?

Lesson pictures are the illustrations Rumo draws for the reading lessons themselves. They are always free and never metered. Creative pictures are the ones your child conjures from their own writing, and those are what each plan's monthly allowance covers.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Rumo is free to start: 10 creative pictures a month plus limited lesson pictures, with no purchase required.

What happens when we run out of creative pictures?

Lesson pictures keep working, so lessons carry on as normal. For creative pictures you will see an upgrade prompt, and moving up a plan adds the extra pictures right away rather than waiting for the next month.

What is the difference between monthly and yearly?

Nothing but the billing. Yearly is the same plan paid once, with two months free: Spark is $49.99, Momentum $149.99, and Mastery $299.99 a year.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple Account and can be cancelled anytime in your Apple Account settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you already paid for.

Do you have pricing for schools and classrooms?

Yes. Classroom and school pricing is tailored to your size, with class rosters, a teacher dashboard, and invoicing. Get in touch and we will put together a quote.
