Comparison
IQnition vs Khanmigo for parents
Both companies say the tutor asks questions instead of handing over the answer. Khanmigo is the cheaper parent plan on the pages we read. IQnition has a $0 plan with tight daily limits, and its family plans cost more. This page does not rank them.
| Khanmigo | IQnition | |
|---|---|---|
| Price we could verify | $4 a month or $44 a year. A U.S. billing address is required. Up to 10 children under 18. The lesson library stays free without the tutor. | Free: 3 tutor sessions a day, 5 quizzes a week, 1 learner. Student is $9.99 a month. Family Lite is $22.99 a month for up to 2 learners. Family Pro is $39.99 a month for up to 5. Paid plans include a 7-day trial. No annual price was listed. |
| Who can sign in | Sign-up is for adults 18 and older. A child under 18 needs a parent or a district. | The site says a parent approves a child account and the child signs in with a 6-digit code. The pricing page describes the Student plan as typically for a learner 13 or older, and it lists the parent dashboard on the family plans, not on the Free line. |
| Grades | Khan Academy says it can help from elementary school through college. A minimum grade inside elementary was not stated. This directory tags K–8. | The company says grades 3–12. Kindergarten through 2nd grade is outside that range. This directory lists grades 3–8. |
| Answers | Khan Academy says Khanmigo does not give the answer. That is their claim. Replies can still be wrong. Parents can read chat history. | IQnition says Iggy asks guiding questions instead of handing over the answer. That is the company’s claim. We did not run a homework set through it. |

Khanmigo figures are the same ones on the Khanmigo tool page and the safety note, from Khanmigo for parents. IQnition prices are from iqnition.ai/pricing. The company also says there are no ads and that it does not sell data. A privacy-policy page and any COPPA certification were not reviewed. IQnition launched for the 2026–27 school year, so the track record is short.
The parent page we read for Khanmigo still said it uses GPT-4. That model line was not re-checked here. Whether IQnition’s free plan asks for a credit card was not on the pricing page. See free AI tutor for kids, Khanmigo free alternatives, and the family AI rules printable.
