IXL plans and prices
IXL family memberships are per child. As of October 2026, IXL's pricing page lists a single subject at $9.95 a month, the math and language arts combo at $15.95 a month, and core subjects (math, language arts, science, social studies) at $19.95 a month. Independent price trackers report annual prices of $79, $129 and $159. Extra children cost less than the first; Spanish is an add-on.

IXL free trial, discounts and cancellation
- Free trial
- Families don't get a classic free trial. Without a membership, kids can answer a limited number of questions per day (IXL's user guide says 10 a day), and new family memberships carry a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Free version
- Only the daily question limit. Progress isn't saved without an account, and there's no unlimited free tier.
- Discounts
- Annual billing: Paying yearly costs roughly a third less than 12 monthly payments.
- Additional children: Each extra child on a family account costs less than the first membership.
- How to cancel
- Sign in, open your Subscription details page and click Cancel membership. Access continues until the current billing period ends. App store subscriptions must be canceled with Apple or Google.
- Refunds
- IXL's terms offer a full refund if you request it within 30 days of purchase on IXL.com. There are no refunds for partly used periods after that, and app store purchases aren't covered.
- Extra costs
- Spanish is an add-on. Sales tax may apply.
We list only discounts the provider publishes. We never post coupon codes we can’t verify.

View wishlistIs IXL worth the money?
IXL has the broadest skill coverage of any practice site we compared, and its diagnostic and parent reports are excellent for finding gaps. But it is practice, not teaching, and its SmartScore system punishes mistakes hard enough that many kids come to dread it. It's worth it for self-motivated students and data-minded parents; sensitive kids may do better elsewhere.

Questions
How much does IXL cost per month?
As of October 2026, IXL lists family plans at $9.95 a month for one subject, $15.95 for math plus language arts and $19.95 for core subjects. Annual plans are reported at $79, $129 and $159. Additional children cost less than the first.
Is IXL free?
Not really. Without a membership, kids can answer a small number of questions each day, and progress isn't tracked. Many kids use IXL free through their school, which buys classroom licenses.
Does IXL have a free trial?
IXL offers classroom trials to teachers, not a standard family trial. Instead, family memberships bought on IXL.com come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can request a full refund within the first month.
How do I cancel IXL?
Sign in, go to Subscription details and click Cancel membership. You keep access until the end of the billing period. If you bought through Apple or Google, cancel in that app store.
Are there real IXL discount codes?
IXL's dependable savings are annual billing and the lower price for extra children. IXL sometimes runs seasonal promotions. We don't publish coupon codes because we can't verify them.
Can an ESA or scholarship pay for IXL?
Often it can be submitted as educational software, but approval depends on your program's rules. Save IXL to your Edulist wishlist and we'll help you match it with programs in your state.
