Our verdict
AI Mastery
The most complete, affordable, UK-specific platform for teenagers. Best value for long-term learning.
Inspirit AI
Excellent for ambitious university applicants. But $1,400 for 25 hours is out of reach for most families.
Teens in AI
Good community and credibility. But coding-first — loses non-technical students quickly.
CodaKid
Strong for younger coders. Not designed for AI literacy — it's a coding platform with AI features.
Khan Academy
Great free resource. But AI content is sparse, generic, and not structured for teen progression.
