Khanmigo is the cheapest paid option here and the only one that is not a human tutor. It is an AI tutor from Khan Academy that works on top of Khan Academy's lessons and exercises, and it is designed to ask questions and walk a child through a problem rather than hand over answers. That makes it a good homework companion for math and reading practice at any hour. A Parent Subscription costs $4 per month or $44 per year, plus sales tax, and covers up to 10 children. Parents can view their children's chats, get alerts when content is flagged, and use more than 20 parent tools. There are also writing, debate, coding and college admissions coaching features for older kids. The limits are the ones you would expect: it cannot notice when a child has checked out, and children with real gaps usually need a person to plan and pace the work. Use it alongside a tutor, not as a full replacement.
