Can a 7-year-old use Khanmigo?

Khanmigo's site says it helps students from elementary school through college, and a child under 18 gets access through a parent's subscription. The pages we opened do not name a minimum age, so check whether your child can follow a chat, with speech-to-text if needed.

Which one is cheaper?

Khanmigo publishes $4 a month or $44 a year, plus sales tax, for up to 10 children, which is less than most paid options. Maya's first lesson is free, with no card needed, so you can see whether she suits your child before paying anything.

Do both avoid just handing over the answer?

Yes, in different ways. Khanmigo asks guiding questions in a chat. Maya asks tap-to-answer questions and, when the answer is wrong, explains what made that answer tempting before trying again.

Maya Tutor or Khanmigo for grades 1–6: which fits a young child?

If you live in the US and want one low-cost tutor on a screen for several children across many subjects, including writing and coding, Khanmigo is the stronger choice at $4 a month. If your child is in grades 1–6, especially the early grades, or you live outside the US, Maya Tutor fits better: she teaches from what your child learned at school today, questions are answered by tapping, and she explains why a wrong answer was tempting.

Who can actually sign up for each one?

Khanmigo is Khan Academy's tutor. Its site says that to subscribe as a parent or learner you must be 18 or older, live in the United States and have a US billing address. A child under 18 gets access through a parent's subscription, which covers up to 10 children. The site also notes that a child in an active Khan Academy classroom may not be able to get access this way. Teachers get Khanmigo free in supported countries.

Maya Tutor works in a browser at maya-tutor.com and on iPhone. She is built for grades 1–6, and a parent confirms by email before the tutoring features work.

How does each one teach a young child?

Khanmigo is a chat tutor. Its site says it never gives the answer and instead guides the learner to find it, with speech-to-text and text-to-speech, a writing coach, code review, and Khan Academy's library of lessons behind it. Parents can read the chat history and get safety alerts.

Maya starts from the child's day: your child tells her what they learned at school, by voice, by typing or with a photo of the page, and she teaches that topic with them. Questions are answered by tapping, so a six-year-old who reads slowly is not stuck typing. When an answer is wrong she explains why it was tempting. A grade 3 child who answers 4 × 3 with 7 hears that they added the two numbers instead of making four groups of three, and then counts the groups. What did not land comes back in a later lesson.

How do they compare side by side?

Everything in the Khanmigo row comes from khanmigo.ai, opened on 24 September 2026.

When is Khanmigo the better choice?

Be honest about your situation. Khanmigo wins when:

You live in the US and want one plan for up to 10 children. On price alone it is hard to beat.
Your child is in middle school, high school or college. Maya was built for grades 1–6.
Your child needs feedback on writing or wants to learn to code. Maya does neither.
Your child already uses Khan Academy exercises and you want a tutor tied to them.
You want your child to practise explaining their thinking in their own words, in a chat. Maya's questions are tap-to-answer.

When is Maya the better choice?

Maya is the better fit when:

Your child is in grades 1–3 and reads or types slowly. Tapping an answer keeps the lesson moving.
You live outside the US, where a Khanmigo parent subscription is not offered.
You want lessons that start from what happened in class today rather than from a course.
Your family speaks Hebrew, or your child studies Hebrew at school.
Your child keeps making the same mistake and needs to hear why it felt right, not only what the right answer is.
