Looking for a Studycat alternative? Studycat and EveryLingo are both made for young children, but they do different jobs. Here is how they compare on age, languages, price and whether you can add your own words, using facts each app publishes, checked 23 October 2026.
Yes, for toddlers and bilingual families. Studycat starts at age 2, in one of five languages, with a subscription. EveryLingo starts from age 0 in 142 language options, and a child doesn't need to know one language before starting another, because every picture shows the word in two languages at once, each with its own sound. One payment, no subscription.
