Prodigy Math

The base game is free and includes the full set of math content. Paid memberships add game perks — pets, gear, currency, exclusive areas — that drive engagement but do not unlock additional math curriculum. Post-promo standard rates are Core at $9.95 per month or $58.95 per year, Math Plus at $14.95 per month or $88.95 per year, and Ultra at $19.95 per month or $118.95 per year. A 50% promotional discount has been running consistently into 2026. Prodigy is ESA-approved in multiple states including Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, New Hampshire, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Prodigy is built by Prodigy Education, a Toronto-based company. The platform runs on web, iOS, and Android. Content is secular with no religious elements.

Community sentiment is highly polarized. The strongest positive signal is that math-resistant children genuinely will sit down and do math voluntarily because of the game. The strongest negative signal — flagged by Reddit r/homeschool and Fairplay for Kids — is that the in-game upsell pressure is aggressive and constant. Parents report that kids encounter membership prompts repeatedly during play, and some children game the system by speed-clicking or selecting easiest skills to advance through battles faster. Educators flag that conceptual scaffolding is minimal — the game rewards getting answers right, not understanding why.

Prodigy offers a 20% affiliate commission on gross sales through Refersion, with PayPal payouts monthly on the 15th. It works best as supplemental practice for math-resistant children ages 7-12, not as a primary curriculum.
