Comparison

DrivePro vs ADI Network

ADI Network is free - but free isn't free when PassMeFast takes commission on your pupils. DrivePro is £19/mo flat with HMRC tax filing, pay-at-booking, and AI lesson debriefs. Here's the full breakdown across 47 features.

Flat subscription, own your pupils

DrivePro is a flat £19.99/mo subscription with your own branded booking page — the pupil relationship is yours from the first lesson. ADI Network is free but routes pupils via PassMeFast's referral marketplace.

File tax returns directly with HMRC

File your quarterly return inside DrivePro in under 3 minutes. HMRC-recognised software. ADI Network doesn't offer tax filing.

AI lesson debriefs

Record a 30-second voice note, AI generates a structured debrief for your pupil. ADI Network has no AI features.

Your pupils, your business

With DrivePro, pupils book through your branded page and pay you directly. No middleman, no shared leads. You build your own client base.

Pay-at-booking & cancellation fees

Pupils pay when they book. Late cancellations are charged automatically. No chasing, no awkward conversations. Not available on ADI Network.

Business health dashboard

Monthly health reports, pass rate monitoring, revenue trends. Know exactly how your business is performing. Not available on ADI Network.

“I was getting pupils through PassMeFast but losing a chunk on every one. Now I get my own bookings through DrivePro and keep the lot. The subscription pays for itself with one pupil.”
