How Much Does Plaudan Kids Cost? Plans and Pricing Explained
In short: Plaudan Kids costs about 5 euro per month on the yearly plan (about $5 outside Europe), which makes it the cheapest plan per month. There are also a monthly and a quarterly plan that cost somewhat more per month but run for a shorter time. Every plan includes full access to all four animal friends, all languages, and all games, covers the whole family with multiple child profiles, and can be canceled anytime. There are no hidden costs and no in-app purchases.
If you are wondering whether Plaudan Kids is right for your family, you mostly want to know one thing: what does it really cost, and what do I get for it? This page answers all of that in one place, with no fine print. And if you have not met Plaudan Kids yet: it is a language-learning app where children aged 4 to 10 have real spoken conversations with friendly 3D animal friends. You can find a full introduction in Plaudan Kids: The Complete Overview.
Which plans does Plaudan Kids offer?
There are three plans: 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year. All three include exactly the same full access, the only difference is the term and the price per month. The yearly plan is by far the cheapest at about 5 euro per month.
| Plan | Term | Price per month | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | 1 month | Highest per month | Full access |
| Quarterly | 3 months | Cheaper than monthly | Full access |
| Yearly | 12 months | Cheapest, about 5 euro (about $5) | Full access |
The monthly plan works well if you first want to see whether your child enjoys the conversations. The quarterly plan is the middle ground. The yearly plan pays off as soon as it is clear your child will stick with it, because children do not learn a language in four weeks anyway, they learn it through many small conversations over time.
One important thing: there is no stripped-down starter tier and no premium tier above. If you pay, you get everything. You never have to wonder whether a feature is included in your plan.
What does full access include?
Full access means all four animal friends, all languages, and all games, without exception. There is no content that costs extra and no feature locked behind a more expensive tier.
In practice that means:
- All four animal friends: Leo the lion, Finn the wolf, Zoe the zebra, and Bruno the bull. Your child can switch anytime and talk to any of them.
- All languages: English, Spanish, French, and Italian are available right away, and more than 70 additional languages are available on request. Switching languages costs nothing.
- All games and rewards: stars, stickers, and treasure milestones keep your child motivated.
- The parent dashboard: you see your child's progress and can set gentle time limits.
Why real speaking makes the difference, and how Plaudan differs from classic tap-the-picture apps, is explained in detail in Speaking vs Tapping.
Does one subscription cover the whole family?
Yes. A single subscription covers the whole family, with multiple child profiles under one parent account. You pay per family, not per child.
It works much like a streaming service: each child gets their own profile with their own name, their own learning progress, their own stars and stickers, and their own language if they want. Your older daughter can learn French while her little brother practices English with Leo, and nobody messes with anyone else's rewards. For families with two or three children, this makes the price per child even more attractive.
Are there hidden costs or in-app purchases?
No. The subscription price is the only price you will ever pay. Plaudan Kids is completely ad-free, contains no trackers, and offers nothing to buy on the child's side of the app.
This matters because many kids' apps play tricks exactly here: the app looks cheap or free, but then coin packs, sticker shops, or artificial waiting times appear that can only be skipped with real money. In Plaudan Kids, your child simply cannot buy anything, because purchases are only possible in the password-protected parent area. What this means for choosing a kids' app in general is covered in our comparison Free vs Paid Language Apps for Kids.
How does the price compare to a private tutor?
A private tutor quickly costs several hundred euro per month, while Plaudan Kids costs about 5 euro per month on the yearly plan. Both have their place, but for daily speaking practice the difference is enormous.
| Private tutor | Plaudan Kids (yearly plan) | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per month | Several hundred euro | About 5 euro (about $5) |
| Availability | Fixed appointments, usually 1 to 2 per week | Anytime, even 10 minutes in between |
| Patience | Humanly limited | Unlimited, happily repeats for the tenth time |
| Multiple children | Each child pays extra | One subscription, multiple profiles |
A good tutor brings things no app can replace: a real human relationship, individual guidance, cultural knowledge. But language learning thrives on frequency, and that is exactly where an app shines. Five short conversations a week with a patient animal friend often do more for a child than a single lesson in which they speak for maybe three minutes themselves. More than 40,000 families already use Plaudan Kids this way.
How do I pay, and in which currency?
Payment is handled securely by Stripe, in euro in Europe and in US dollars elsewhere. Your card details never touch Plaudan's servers.
Stripe is one of the largest and most strictly regulated payment providers in the world, processing payments for millions of businesses. You can pay with the usual payment methods, and the charge shows up transparently on your statement. The currency is chosen automatically based on where you are: EUR for Europe, USD for the rest of the world.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, every plan can be canceled anytime, with no notice-period tricks and no hotline to call. A few clicks in the parent area are enough.
After you cancel, your subscription simply runs until the end of the period you already paid for, so your child can keep playing and talking. After that, nothing renews automatically. If you come back later, the profiles and all progress are still there.
How do I get started with Plaudan Kids?
You start right in the browser at app.plaudan.com, with no app store and no installation. Pick a plan, create a child profile, and your child can have their first conversation.
The whole flow in three steps:
- Pick a plan: on plaudan.com you choose the monthly, quarterly, or yearly plan and pay securely via Stripe.
- Create profiles: you set up a profile for each child and choose a language and an animal friend.
- Start talking: your child opens the app on a tablet or phone, in the browser or as an installable web app (PWA), and starts the first conversation with Leo, Finn, Zoe, or Bruno.
Plaudan Kids is made in Austria by KLDigital OG and is GDPR compliant. All conversations are moderated and age-appropriate.
Try it yourself
In the end, what matters is not the pricing table but the look on your child's face when the lion actually answers their question. At about 5 euro per month on the yearly plan, with full flexibility and zero risk thanks to cancel-anytime, you can simply give it a try.
