# SplashLearn vs Prodigy 2

The clearest difference is ads: SplashLearn at none against Prodigy 2's shown. SplashLearn also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 57) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Prodigy 2's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 75%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SplashLearn sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Prodigy 2 sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for SplashLearn against 4.6 for Prodigy 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SplashLearn has 32K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of SplashLearn's written reviews are positive against 90% of Prodigy 2's.

SplashLearn ships an update every 9 days, Prodigy 2 monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
