Why families look for Osmo alternatives
- Device compatibility is complicated; Math Wizard doesn't work on newest iPads or any Fire tablet
- Small pieces are easy to lose
- Company ownership changed after the BYJU'S bankruptcy, which raises long-term support questions
- Not a full curriculum in any subject
- Families without a compatible iPad or Fire tablet
- Parents looking for a full science or math curriculum

Can a scholarship pay for any of these?
Some ESA programs allow educational games and supplies, but many exclude hardware and devices; each program decides. Osmo kits sit in a gray area, so check your program's rules before buying.
