What the internet says
Readigo remains focused on children aged 6 to 12 reading English aloud and turning each session into family metrics. This week there is no new dated fact: the monthly plan is still 9.99 dollars and the annual plan 59.99, both covering up to three profiles, still matching literally between the official site and the App Store as last week. The privacy policy and terms remain dated May 28, 2026 with no changes, and the App Store listing stays at 3.0 out of 5 based on just 2 ratings, with no new visible reviews or family-forum discussion found.
What the web repeats in favour
- Immediate correction and tracking for accuracy, fluency, pace and clarity for ages 6 to 12
- The monthly plan remains at 9.99 dollars and still literally matches the price shown in the App Store
- Both the monthly (9.99 dollars) and annual (59.99 dollars) plans cover up to three child profiles on a single subscription
What the web repeats against
- It is iOS-only, and voice is encrypted and sent to ElevenLabs for transcription before the resulting text reaches OpenAI for analysis
- Readigo does not handle refunds directly: they depend entirely on Apple

The real reading test
- Choose a text at the child’s level and let them get stuck without intervening.
- Observe how long the app waits, how it corrects and whether it distinguishes an error from a normal pause.
- Review family reporting and measure progress over two weeks, not first-day excitement.
