How Much Is Reading.com? US Prices and Subscription Choices

Commercial disclosure: We may earn a commission if you purchase through certain links on this page.

Prices checked October 15, 2026 in Reading.com’s US App Store in-app purchase list. Web checkout amounts, Google Play and Amazon prices were not verified. This guide therefore does not present one universal Reading.com price or claim that the website is cheaper.

Compare the charge period, not just the monthly-looking number

The totals above are arithmetic illustrations, not checkout quotes. They assume unchanged rates and exclude any applicable tax or account-specific adjustment. The yearly equivalent is a budgeting comparison, not evidence that you can pay $6.25 each month. Apple’s public product list does not explain which repeated or alternative listing your account will receive.

When annual makes sense—and when it does not

At $12.49 per month, six monthly payments total $74.94; the seventh makes monthly spending exceed a $74.99 annual purchase. At $14.99, five payments total $74.95; the sixth exceeds that annual amount. These break-even examples apply only if those exact offers are available and comparable in your checkout.

Annual may be reasonable once you know the child’s starting level, the device works and an adult will keep teaching over many months. Monthly can be a better first commitment when those questions are unsettled. A lower annual equivalent does not save money if you would otherwise stop after one or two months.

What happens after the trial?

Reading.com’s parent-subscription guide describes monthly or yearly plans, up to three children and a seven-day trial that becomes an auto-renewing subscription. Treat that as the documented standard, then read the offer shown to you: eligibility and promotions may differ. Record the deadline with time zone, the first payable amount and the next renewal period.

Three profiles can reduce the cost per child when several children genuinely use the program. It does not mean one adult can teach three shared lessons at once. Budget teaching time as well as subscription money, and do not buy an annual plan solely because spare profile slots exist.

Your payment route controls where you cancel

These routes come from Reading.com’s cancellation help. For an Amazon purchase, check the receipt and the subscription controls for that purchase or ask support; the cited help page does not specify an Amazon procedure. Do not use instructions for another store just because the same app is installed.

If you cannot find the subscription, search your purchase emails and compare the account email with the store account used to pay. Keep a cancellation confirmation. Removing an icon from a tablet is not evidence that a subscription has ended.

Canceling, requesting a refund and deleting an account are different

Reading.com’s refund instructions direct Apple and Google customers to their respective platforms. For web purchases they state that payments are non-refundable, unused portions are not credited and access continues to the billing period’s end; support may review a request under its criteria. A request is not guaranteed approval.

The same help page advises Apple subscribers to cancel a trial at least 24 hours before it ends. Check the current store instructions and avoid leaving a decision until the last minute. This is more useful than assuming a cancellation made at any time on the final day will prevent a charge.

Reading.com’s account-deletion instructions require subscription cancellation first and warn that deletion permanently removes saved progress and profiles. Cancellation help separately says progress is saved when a subscription is canceled. If your aim is to stop paying while leaving open a return, account deletion is a different decision.

Before you accept any offer

• Compare equivalent plan periods on the website and your chosen store; do not assume identical prices.
• Read the actual amount due after the trial, not just a crossed-out headline price.
• Confirm whether a displayed discount changes the first period, renewal, or both.
• Check the device, parent workload and relevant content during the trial.
• Save the offer and receipt, then set a reminder ahead of the trial deadline.
• Allow for taxes, any device purchase and optional printing in your household budget.

If the ongoing cost is the deciding constraint, Khan Academy Kids’ free family app provides a no-subscription alternative. Paying is worthwhile only when the particular teaching format solves a problem that the free route does not solve for your family.
