EduKids: Elementary School at Home gives parents a simple, complete and fun tool to help their children learn in a good mood, from Grade 1 to Grade 5. You can follow their progress at every step. OVER 240 EXERCISES FOR GRADES 1 TO 5 English, math, geometry, measurement, science, history and foreign languages: every topic of the elementary school program is covered. Each exercise is a quiz with 2 to 6 possible answers, often illustrated with colorful pictures. For the youngest, questions and answers are read aloud and can be repeated as often as needed. A VIRTUAL TEACHER EVERY DAY Every day, the virtual teacher gives your child 4 exercises. They are not chosen at random: the teacher uses the 3 topics you selected for your child, so they work on what they need most. The program adapts to the level of each child. STARS, STICKERS AND TROPHIES The more correct answers your child gives, the more stars they earn. Stars unlock stickers and backgrounds: the goal is to collect them all! An exercise completed without a single mistake earns a trophy, with 3 trophies to win per exercise. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY - Daily exercises: chosen by the virtual teacher from the topics you selected. - Parents' exercises: the exercises you assign. They earn the most stars. - Self-selected exercises: your child picks the exercises. The first 4 of the day earn stars. - Challenge: unlocked once the parents' exercises, the daily exercises and 4 self-selected exercises are done. Answer 5 to 30 questions in a row without a mistake to earn lots of stars! ADVANCED MODE OR SIMPLE MODE The advanced mode lets older children explore every section of the app. The simple mode guides the youngest step by step: they only do what the teacher asks, so they never get lost. A PARENTS AREA Protected by a code (adults: keep it secret!), the parents area lets you: - create as many child profiles as you want - assign homework, or choose ready-made programs that run over several days, for example to review during the holidays - follow your children's results and progress - delete profiles Privacy Policy: https://ar-entertainment.net/policy.html Terms of Use: https://ar-entertainment.net/edukids_cgu_us.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: BrainPOP at 34K against EduKids Elementary School's 4. BrainPOP also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). EduKids Elementary School's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. BrainPOP sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and EduKids Elementary School sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EduKids Elementary School holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BrainPOP has 34K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of BrainPOP's written reviews are positive against 100% of EduKids Elementary School's.
BrainPOP ships an update every 2 months, EduKids Elementary School every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
