Questions
The fine print, in plain words.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Download the app, create your account and start free — you'll only pay when you choose a subscription. Your subscription also includes one free Open Class lesson.
What does the monthly subscription cover?
The subscription costs R90/month at the standard price, or R45/month for Academic Members. It includes everything self-paced — all lessons, stories, games and videos in every language for your learner profiles — plus one free Open Class lesson with a real educator. Additional Open Class, Group Class and One-on-One lessons are booked separately, per lesson or in 10-packs.
How do live class packs work?
Your subscription — R90/month standard, or R45/month for Academic Members — includes one free Open Class lesson. After that, pay per lesson (Open Class R90, Group Class R110 per person, One-on-One R200) or buy a 10-pack and save: Open Class is R720 for ten and Group Class R880 per person (both save 20%), and One-on-One is R1 500 (save 25%). The One-on-One 10-pack also opens up unlimited Open Class access for the month. Academic Members already pay 50% less on every lesson, so package discounts don’t apply on top of it.
How do I pay?
Payments are processed securely by Paystack. You can top up your in-app wallet with lesson credits and see a full ledger of everything you've spent. Vouchers and coupon codes are supported.
How does the Academic Member discount work?
If your child’s school, preschool or crèche is a registered Academic Institute, enter its institute code (for example LPA-7K2Q) in the app. You’ll pay R45/month for the subscription instead of R90/month, and 50% less on every lesson. Not registered yet? Any Luthando member can register an Academic Institute — it’s free. The discount is only available to African Academic Institutes, and starts once Luthando has verified the institute.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, from the parent dashboard. No phone calls, no forms.
Start with a greeting.
Sawubona — we see you.
