Prodigy Membership is the paid layer on top of Prodigy’s Math and English games, sold to parents as a subscription per child.
On the pricing side, Prodigy Education sells plans across Prodigy Math (Core, Plus, Ultra) and Prodigy English (Level Up, Ultimate), with an Ultra bundle positioned as the “both games” option in web checkout. The same household can also end up with mixed billing lanes if one child was purchased on Prodigy’s website and another was started as an app-store subscription, which changes where you cancel and who controls refunds.
As of March 2026, the published totals run from an annual Math plan at $58.95 up to an annual Ultra plan at $118.95, with separate English annual plans at $74.95 and $99.95 if you buy English on its own. The main variables are tier scope, billing term, and how many children you are buying for.
TL;DR: One child on annual Math is the low end, and Ultra or separate English plans push the total higher.
Membership is billed per child, per term, and the term you choose changes the effective monthly rate and the refund window.
Parents usually decide between monthly vs annual billing first, then pick a tier based on whether they want Core vs Plus vs Ultra perks or need English access. The biggest “double pay” risk is subscribing to Prodigy English separately and later upgrading Prodigy Math, because those can sit as two renewals unless you consolidate.

How Much Does Prodigy Math Membership Cost?
Prodigy Math Membership has three tiers that mainly differ by subject access and in-game rewards. As of March 2026, the published monthly prices are $9.95 for Core, $14.95 for Plus, and $19.95 for Ultra, and the same pricing display shows the annual totals as $58.95, $88.95, and $118.95 respectively. Those annual totals imply monthly equivalents of $4.91, $7.41, and $9.91 shown on the same pricing display. This is the biggest lever in the Membership math because the annual term cuts the effective monthly rate and locks you into a longer decision window rather than a shorter one. No trial.
Here is the tier view families tend to compare first. The numbers are taken from the same March 2026 pricing display that shows both monthly and annual options, and the table is meant to keep the per-month price from being confused with the annual total due at checkout.
| Prodigy Math tier | Monthly billing | Annual total | Shown annual equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $9.95 per month | $58.95 per year | $4.91 per month |
| Plus | $14.95 per month | $88.95 per year | $7.41 per month |
| Ultra | $19.95 per month | $118.95 per year | $9.91 per month |
What you’re actually buying
Prodigy Membership is a subscription that changes the in-game experience and the parent tools around it. In Prodigy Math, the tier you choose affects what subjects are included and which member-only rewards and features show up during play. In Prodigy English, the paid plans change the weekly Wishcoin rewards and other in-game boosts. It is not tutoring and it is not a curriculum purchase in the way a learning center or a worksheet program is. The closest substitutes are paid learning apps that charge monthly for premium features, or tutoring services that charge per session. If your goal is live instruction, pricing and outcomes look more like learning-center tutoring than a game subscription.
What we verified
- Checked current tier totals and per-month equivalents on the Math pricing grid.
- Confirmed Prodigy English plan pricing on the English pricing page.
- Verified pause and cancellation steps on the pause and cancel guide.
- Cross-referenced the multi-child discount terms on the family discount page.
How billing works on web checkout vs app stores
Prodigy sells Memberships through its own web checkout and also through app-store subscriptions, and that split affects how you stop charges. In the Support Center, Prodigy spells out that subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date, and the renewal date is the end of the term you bought, whether that term is monthly or annual. That same policy also says Prodigy charges the renewal using the payment method used for the initial purchase unless the subscription is canceled in time. This matters because parents sometimes cancel gameplay access for a child but miss the billing control if they bought through a store instead of the web path. It also shapes refund requests, since the refund process Prodigy describes applies to Prodigy-managed purchases and has carve-outs for Apple-managed subscriptions.
Where you bought the Membership also changes where you manage it. Prodigy’s support instructions put cancellation and pause controls inside the parent account Membership management area for web purchases, and they point iOS buyers back to Apple’s subscription settings. That is not a small detail because families can have a web purchase for one child and an Apple subscription for another, and then they have two separate places to manage renewals. A clean way to avoid confusion is to keep all children on the same billing lane and the same term, then apply any family discount at checkout where eligible.
Prodigy English Membership pricing
Prodigy English is sold as a separate game with its own Membership plans, which is where some households end up paying twice. As of March 2026, Prodigy lists Level Up at $9.95 per month or $74.95 billed annually, and Ultimate at $14.95 per month or $99.95 billed annually, with the annual equivalents shown as $6.25 and $8.33 per month. The practical budgeting point is that English pricing lives on its own plan screen, so canceling Math does not automatically cancel English if you subscribed to both.
Ultra is the exception where overlap can matter. Prodigy describes Ultra as spanning two games and three subjects, with English listed as part of the Ultra package on the Ultra plan checkout. If your family wants both games, it is worth mapping the total before you buy. English Level Up at $74.95 annually plus Math Plus at $88.95 annually equals $163.90 in the same year, using the annual totals shown on the English and Math pages, which is higher than Ultra’s annual $118.95 shown at checkout.
Prodigy vs alternatives
Prodigy’s pricing looks like a learning app subscription, not a tutoring bill. That matters when you compare it to services that charge by lesson, minute, or live session, because those alternatives tend to put most of the value in direct instruction. A learning center can cost a few hundred dollars per month for sessions, which is a different spend category than a sub-$20 monthly game membership. At the same time, homework-help subscriptions can also sit in a single-digit to low double-digit monthly range, which makes the comparison feel closer on the credit card statement than the experience is in real life. If you are comparing to an academic subscription, the pricing logic is similar to homework-help subscriptions where the plan level changes feature access and renewals run until canceled.
Prodigy also has a distinct friction point that alternative apps do not always share, the product is built around in-game rewards and upgrades. Common Sense Media notes that kids can get pulled into battles, pets, spells, and upgrade prompts, which can change how a parent evaluates value even if the sticker price looks low in its app review. That is not a claim about hidden fees, it is about attention and time. Parents who want a calmer practice loop may lean toward worksheet-based tools, and parents who want engagement may accept the game loop as part of what they are paying for.
Renewals, refunds, and cancellation rules
For budgeting, Prodigy’s most expensive surprise is an auto-renew you forgot to stop. The Support Center language ties renewal to the term you purchased and treats cancellation and refund requests as separate actions. If you manage one child through web checkout and another through an app store, you can also end up with different cancellation controls and timelines.
Refund eligibility is time-boxed and term-based, and the policy also states that fees are not prorated after the window closes. Taxes may apply. The pause option is separate, and the support flow treats “pause” as a way to stop renewal without closing out the entire parent account.
Add-ons and design choices
Prodigy Membership is not the only spending lane tied to the games. The Math Memberships page ties perks to rewards and currencies such as Magicoin through Treasure Track, and Ultra adds a monthly bonus Magicoin line and broader access to features like Mythical Epics and science content. English Membership ties value to Wishcoin boosts, extra shop items, and in-game crafting perks. None of that is priced as a separate required fee on the Membership pages, but the structure can encourage a family to upgrade tiers when a child gets stuck behind member-only items or progress pacing.
One cost driver is the number of children you are buying for, because the cart experience nudges families into a single billing cycle so discounts can apply. Another driver is scope creep across games. A child might start in Math and then want English, and if the family buys a separate English plan instead of Ultra, the annual outlay becomes the sum of two subscriptions. If you want a non-game alternative for early learning content, costs can look more like child enrichment programs than app subscriptions.
What people pay in real use
Solo annual Math. A parent buys Prodigy Math Core annually to support Math practice only. The cash outlay for the year is $58.95 per child, and the monthly equivalent shown by Prodigy is $4.91 when billed annually. The driver here is committing to the annual term and staying inside one game. This is the lowest published paid path on the current Math pricing display. It also keeps renewals simple because there is only one subscription to manage.
Family discount on two children. A parent buys two annual Core memberships on the same billing cycle and receives the 25% discount described in Prodigy’s family discount policy. In that case, the math is $58.95 times two equals $117.90, then applying the discount brings it down to $88.43 for the two together, rounded to cents, since $117.90 times 0.75 equals $88.43.
Premium two-game household. A parent chooses Ultra annually at $118.95 to cover Math, Science, and English in one package for one child, then adds a separate English plan only if a second child needs English access too.
Hidden costs and friction points
The second friction point is managing more than one Membership. Prodigy English is a separate subscription path, and Prodigy Ultra is positioned as the bundle that spans both games, so families can wind up with overlapping plans if they buy English and then upgrade Math later. If you cancel the wrong product, the renewal clock keeps running. Prodigy’s terms and conditions also state that terms can change, which is another reason to confirm the plan name and renewal date inside your parent account before you stop payments on a different platform or device.
Worked total example
Assume one child starts Ultra on annual billing. The annual charge is $118.95 for the term, and Prodigy’s policy describes a term-based refund window for annual purchases. This example is about timing, not gameplay value. It uses the posted annual Ultra total and the published refund window language.
Itemized outcome. If you buy Ultra annually at $118.95 and request a refund on day 20 of the term, the policy describes a full refund of the most recent term when requested inside the annual window, so the refundable amount is $118.95 for that term. If you request a refund on day 40 of the same annual term, the policy states no refund is granted after the annual window and it does not prorate, so the refund becomes $0.00 and the outlay stays $118.95. The decision point is whether you still want the subscription before the window closes, not whether you clicked cancel in the parent dashboard.
Who this cost makes sense for
- Makes sense if
- Your child already plays Prodigy and the membership perks are a lever to keep practice going through the in-game reward loop.
- You want Science inside Prodigy Math, since Prodigy ties Science access to Plus or Ultra tiers.
- You are buying for two or more children on the same billing cycle and can use the family discount.
- You want a predictable annual total instead of a monthly renewal.
- Doesn’t make sense if
- You only need free question practice and do not care about member-only rewards and parent tools.
- You prefer paying only when live instruction happens, since this is a renewing subscription product.
- You expect prorated refunds mid-term, because Prodigy’s policy says it does not prorate after the refund window.
- You do not want to manage separate Math and English subscriptions when a bundle tier could cover both for the same child.
