Read from each vendor's own public pricing page on 1 September 2026. “Not published” means their page did not state it — not that the answer is no. Vendors change pricing; check the sources below before you decide anything.

Where we are not the cheapest answer
The Starkid app is free for your school, with no per-child fee and no cap. That part is genuinely different from the three above, and it is why this page exists.
The Starkid curriculum programme is not free. It is a separate annual programme — books, lesson plans, training and the physical kit — and like every vendor on this page, we quote it per school rather than publishing a number, because it depends on how many children you have and what you order. If you only want software and already have a curriculum you are happy with, take the free app and ignore the rest.
KinderPass is the only one of the three that publishes a usable figure, and if a straightforward per-child monthly price with a 30-day trial is what you want, they make that easy to find. We have not used their product and this page does not rate it.
