View wishlistIs Brilliant worth the money?
Brilliant is excellent for kids and teens who like puzzles and want to understand math, not just get answers, and its Koji tutor reinforces that. It's not a structured grade-by-grade course with teacher grading, and the free tier is tight. For a motivated middle or high schooler, Premium is good value; for a reluctant learner, it may go unused.

How much does Brilliant cost?
As of October 2026, Brilliant shows Premium at $20 a month billed annually ($240 a year) or $30 month to month for one person. The Family plan covers 6 seats for $40 a month billed annually.
Is Brilliant free?
There's a free tier. It gives 2 keys a day to unlock 2 concepts or practice sets, requires working in order, shows occasional ads and offers only a short preview of the Koji tutor. Premium removes those limits.
Can I use ESA funds for Brilliant?
Brilliant says it works with Arizona ESA through ClassWallet and with Florida's PEP and FES-UA reimbursements. Rules change and each program decides, so confirm with your program and save Brilliant to your Edulist wishlist.
