Khanmigo cost: Khanmigo pricing for schools and districts in 2026

Short answer: Khanmigo is free for individual US teachers and costs $4 per month or $44 per year for a learner or parent account. Schools buy it through Khan Academy Districts. The published school price is $10 per student per year on Enterprise Starter, which covers 1,000 or fewer licenses and is paid by card. Districts above 1,000 licenses get a custom quote.

Every price below was checked against Khan Academy's own pricing pages in September 2026, with the source linked. Coeducate is not affiliated with Khan Academy. We sell a different kind of AI tutor, and this article says plainly where Khanmigo is the better buy.

How much does Khanmigo cost for a school?

For a 600-student school on Enterprise Starter, the published math is $6,000 a year: 600 licenses at $10 each. That buys the Khan Academy content library in math, science, reading and test prep, Khanmigo for students and teachers, the Writing Coach, administrator reporting and single sign-on.

Two things move that number in practice. The first is the license count. The price is per student licensed, so a school that only plans to use an AI tutor with a 90-student intervention cohort should ask up front whether it can license that cohort rather than the whole enrollment. The second is payment. Enterprise Starter is card only, and a lot of district finance offices cannot pay a software vendor by card. If yours requires a purchase order, you are effectively in the quoted Enterprise conversation even below 1,000 students.

Older Khanmigo prices you will still see quoted

Two older figures circulate on review sites and in board minutes. Khan Academy's post on becoming a Districts partner lists a District Partnership with Khanmigo for students at $15 per student, with a 250-student minimum, required rostering through Clever or ClassLink, and US districts only. Before that, Chalkbeat reported in November 2024 that Khanmigo for Newark Public Schools "starts at $35 per student for the school year with discounts for schools."

Treat both as history. They are useful for checking that a quote is in a sensible range, not for building a budget.

Is Khanmigo free for schools?

Khanmigo is free for teachers, not for students in a school. Any US teacher can use the teacher tools at no cost, but classroom access to the student tutor comes through a Khan Academy Districts license that the school or district pays for. Some districts have had that cost covered by outside money: Newark's expansion was funded in part by a $25,000 Gates Foundation grant, according to the same Chalkbeat report.

That split matters in a budget meeting. A pilot that starts with "it's free" usually means teachers tried the planning tools. The student-facing half, the part most schools actually want an AI tutor for, is the part with a price.

What the per-student price includes, and what it does not

The license is good value for what it is built around, which is Khan Academy's own content. You get a large, well-made library and an AI tutor that works inside it. On Enterprise you also get live professional learning and implementation support from Khan's team.

What the price does not cover is worth listing before you sign:

• Alignment time. If your school teaches from its own curriculum, somebody has to map Khan Academy assignments to it. Ask to see what the teacher-facing report shows for work done outside the Khan library, because that is where a per-student price buys the least.
• Procurement friction under 1,000 licenses. Card-only billing on Enterprise Starter is a real cost for any district that runs purchasing through POs.
• Licenses for students who never log in. Whole-enrollment licensing is cheap per head and expensive per active user if only one grade band or one intervention group uses it.

Khanmigo vs MagicSchool vs Coeducate: cost for a 600-student middle school

These three products get compared in the same budget meeting, so here is the same school priced three ways: 600 students, 10 teachers, one year, annual billing where offered.

Product and plan	What you are buying	Pricing model	Year one, 600 students
Khanmigo, Enterprise Starter	Content library, AI tutor for students, teacher tools	$10 per student per year	$6,000
MagicSchool, Plus	AI tools for teachers, plus 50+ student tools	$99.96 per user per year ($8.33/month billed annually)	$999.60 for 10 teacher seats; district Enterprise is quoted
Coeducate, School	AI tutor over your own material, per-skill mastery record after every session	$290/month billed annually, up to 10 educators and 600 students	$3,480

The cheapest line is not automatically the best value, because these are not the same product. Khanmigo includes a full content library that Coeducate does not have. MagicSchool is mainly a productivity suite for teachers. Coeducate is the one whose output is a per-skill mastery record over the material you already teach, with the student's own reasoning quoted as evidence. And if the budget line you are really trying to fill is building and auto-grading tests rather than tutoring, a dedicated AI test maker and grading platform is a narrower purchase than any of the three.

When Khanmigo is the better buy

• Your teachers already assign Khan Academy. The content and the tutor come in one license, and nobody has to change what they teach.
• You want broad access at the lowest cost per head. At $10 per student per year, it is hard to beat for whole-school availability.
• Procurement requires an existing audit today. Khan Academy's Districts pricing page describes its platform as SOC-audited. Coeducate holds no SOC 2 report, and our student privacy page says so.

When a Khanmigo alternative costs less per useful result

• Your school teaches its own curriculum. If the evidence has to come back in your standards, compare the teacher-facing output side by side. Our Khanmigo alternative for schools page sets out the category differences without quoting anyone's marketing.
• You are funding an intervention group, not whole-school access. Licensing 600 students to serve 60 is where per-student pricing hurts most. For that case, see math intervention software for middle school Tier 2 groups.
• The deliverable is progress evidence. A board presentation or an MTSS meeting needs per-skill records with dates, not a count of tutor conversations.

Questions to ask Khan Academy before you sign

1. Can we license only the students in our intervention program rather than our whole enrollment?
2. What does the teacher-facing report show for work done outside Khan Academy content?
3. Is student work used to train models, by you or by your model provider, and can we delete it on request?
4. Which features require automated rostering through Clever or ClassLink?
5. Is the current per-student price fixed for a multi-year agreement?

Ask us the same five. Our answers are on the pricing page and the student privacy page, including the certifications we do not hold.

Frequently asked questions about Khanmigo cost

How much does Khanmigo cost per student?

Khanmigo costs $10 per student per year on Khan Academy's Enterprise Starter plan for schools with 1,000 or fewer licenses, paid by card. Larger districts receive a custom quote. An individual learner account outside school costs $4 per month or $44 per year.

Is Khanmigo free for students?

No. Khanmigo is free for teachers, but students get the tutor either through a $4 per month individual learner account or through a license their school or district buys. Some districts use grants to cover the license, which is why a student may use it without a family paying anything.

Can a teacher give students Khanmigo without a district license?

Not on the free teacher plan. The free plan covers teacher tools such as lesson planning and rubrics. Classroom student access comes through Khan Academy Districts, starting with Enterprise Starter for schools of 1,000 licenses or fewer.

Is Khanmigo worth it for a school?

Khanmigo is worth it for schools that already teach with Khan Academy content and want broad AI tutoring access at a low per-student price. It is weaker value when a school teaches its own curriculum, needs purchase-order billing below 1,000 licenses, or only needs AI tutoring for a small intervention group.
