Choose Khan Academy if…
Choose Khan Academy (alone) if your child watches a video, tries the exercise, and unsticks themselves — or if budget is the constraint. It is a genuine gift to the world.

MathyBrain vs Khan Academy
Khan Academy is free, excellent, and should be in every home. It is not tutoring. If a child can self-direct, Khan Academy plus a parent may be enough. If the child is stuck and cannot say where, a video playlist will not find the missing concept for them.
| Khan Academy | MathyBrain | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free (Khanmigo AI tutor is a low extra if you want it) | Paid 1:1, pricing on the page; ₹99 demo to start |
| Format | On-demand video + practice, optional AI | Live 1:1 with a named teacher |
| Diagnosis | Course placement and practice accuracy — not a parent-facing gap report | The tutor finds the missing concept in the live class, then writes you a note |
| Who notices the wrong reasoning | The child, the parent, or an AI chat | A tutor who writes it down for you after the lesson |
| Lock-in | None | None. Monthly |
| When they are better | Always, as a practice library. Often, as the whole solution for a self-starting child | When practice is not transferring and you need a diagnosis plus a human |
Choose MathyBrain if…
Choose MathyBrain if you already tried videos and practice, and the same idea keeps failing. You need a human who can see the wrong turn, and a map of what to repair first.
