Kiwi Tutor vs IXL

Both give kids adaptive practice and show parents how it's going, but they're built for different families. This page tries to be fair to both.

What IXL does well

IXL covers far more ground than Kiwi Tutor: Math from Pre-K to Calculus, Language arts from Pre-K to 12th grade, plus Science, Social studies and Spanish. If you want one service from preschool through high school, or Language arts and Social studies practice, IXL has it and Kiwi Tutor doesn't.

Where Kiwi Tutor is different

• One price for the whole family. IXL's family plans start at $9.95/mo for one subject, $15.95/mo for its two-subject combo and $19.95/mo for its core subjects, priced for one child, and adding a child adds to the price. Kiwi Tutor's family plan is $10/mo for Math, Spanish and Science, the same with 1 kid or 5.
• Elementary school only, on purpose. Math runs from adding within 10 to two-step equations, plus Spanish and Science vocabulary, so every question is meant for an elementary-age kid.
• Nothing to collect. No badges, points or coins. A level-up gets a small celebration because it reflects real progress, and that's it.
• Every company that sees your data, named. The Trust & Safety page lists all six, in plain language.

Which one fits your family

• IXL, if you want one service from Pre-K through high school, or Language arts and Social studies.
• Kiwi Tutor, if your kids are in elementary school, you have more than one, and you want one flat price and a plain view of what each kid has learned. See Pricing.
