How we compared
This comparison was compiled from each platform's public pricing and feature pages, free-trial terms, app-store listings and the themes in public reviews. We also make SATs Arcade, so read our verdicts as a maker's opinion, not an independent review. Prices and features change, so check each provider’s current website before you buy.

Why Parents Choose SATs Arcade
Genuine free tier
Most competitors offer a short trial, then a paywall. SATs Arcade gives 5 lives every day, forever — enough to practise daily without ever paying.
Built for SATs, not bolted on
Every question, mock test, and lesson is written specifically for the KS2 SATs curriculum. We don't dilute focus with GCSE or A-level content.
Children actually want to use it
XP, leagues, real-time battles, 190+ achievements, and a coin shop keep children coming back. Traditional worksheet platforms struggle with engagement.
Family-friendly pricing
One family plan covers up to 4 children. Most competitors charge per child, making families with siblings pay double or triple.
Built by a SATs Parent, for SATs Parents
SATs Arcade was created by a parent who went through the SATs journey and saw that children needed something better than worksheets. Every feature is designed to make revision feel like play, not punishment.
