Our verdict on each

Novakid

Novakid suits families who want live English lessons for children alongside app practice, and the ILS 379 monthly fee covers a 3,900 tutor pool with certified staff. Budget families starting from nothing should weigh it against free app-first options such as Bunpro.

Reading Eggs

Reading Eggs is a children's reading subscription built for families rather than adult learners, with £54.99 a year covering the household and a library of 4,000 titles. The 30 days free trial and 30 days money-back period make it a low risk way to see whether a child keeps reading.

Pros and cons

Novakid

Pros

  • Live one-to-one and group lessons plus app practice, in 1to1, group and app formats, with sessions of 25 to 45 minutes
  • A free tier and a free trial lesson mean a first month can be tested before any payment
  • A kids version and a family subscription cover more than one child on the same account

Cons

  • Only English is taught, since english lists english and English covers English alone
  • Levels stop at B1, below the advanced bands that fluent learners work toward
  • Support runs on chat only, with no email or phone line listed

Reading Eggs

Pros

  • A free trial of 30 days and a money-back period of 30 days let a family use the service properly before deciding to keep paying.
  • The library covers 4,000 titles as ebooks and audiobooks, with unlimited access under a single plan.
  • Family profiles, a family subscription and a kids version cover a whole household, and a team plan is offered for larger groups.

Cons

  • There is no free tier, so the 30 days free trial is the only look before a payment is due.
  • Entry at £6.99 sits above phase-6 and Bunpro, which list €0 and $0, so a family wanting a book library still pays to start.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, with no live chat or community forum in the list, so a question sent late waits for a reply.

Who each suits

Novakid

Who it suits

  • Parents buying live English tutoring for a child who prefers a real teacher to an app
  • Families wanting one subscription covering a kids version and a family plan
  • Learners who want a certificate at the end of a course

Who should look elsewhere

  • Learners after the B1 level, since the programme does not extend past it
  • Anyone wanting a second language, as English covers English only
  • Price-first households who can start free with Bunpro or Reading Eggs before paying

Reading Eggs

Who it suits

  • Households with several children who want reading practice and a story library in a single subscription, priced at £54.99 a year.
  • Parents in the UK who want to look before committing, since phase-6 and Bunpro both start free and Reading Eggs does not, though its 30 days refund window offsets that.
  • Families who read aloud together at home, because speech recognition and assessments sit inside the app rather than being left to a live tutor.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone whose goal is an adult spoken language rather than a children's library, since SpanishPod101 starts at $4 and Reading Eggs is built around a kids version and family profiles.
  • Learners who insist on starting at no cost, because phase-6 and Bunpro both list free entry prices while Reading Eggs opens at £6.99.
  • People outside GB, where the listed price and the money-back period do not apply.

Questions about each

Novakid

How much does Novakid cost a month?+

The monthly plan is ILS 379, and entry pricing begins at the same level at ILS 379, so the lowest package and the monthly figure describe one spend. Both are quoted without a separate annual or lifetime tier. Families wanting live lessons should budget the monthly figure rather than a cheaper app rate.

Is there a free trial or free plan?+

Both exist. The free tier lets a family open the app and start without paying, and a free trial lesson adds a live session with a tutor at no cost. Together they mean a first month of live teaching can be sampled before any commitment, which is unusual for a subscription of this size.

Reading Eggs

How much does Reading Eggs cost?+

The family subscription is listed at £6.99 a month and £54.99 for a year, with entry at £6.99. Taking the yearly figure rather than paying monthly costs less across the same stretch of time, and both are the renewal prices to budget for once the trial ends.

Is there a free version of Reading Eggs?+

There is no free tier, so nothing stays available once a trial ends without a payment. The free trial lasts 30 days and the money-back period is 30 days, which lets a family use the whole trial, decide it is not working, and still claim the fee back inside that window.
