What it costs for more than one child
IXL charges a full price for the first child and a small amount for each additional child: A$5 a month, or A$50 a year. That makes it far cheaper per child than programs that charge the full price every time.
- 1 childA$129
- 2 childrenA$179
- 3 childrenA$229
- 4 childrenA$279
A$129 for the first child plus A$50 for each additional child, as shown on the membership page (yearly and extra-child prices read on 24 September 2026). The extra-child price is stated once for the whole page, so check it applies to the package you choose.

Where PebbleYard fits
PebbleYard is a set of short practice topics for children aged 5 to 11, sequenced to the Australian Curriculum v9.0 with an ACARA reference on every topic. A parent chooses what their child works on and in what order, can write their own topics, and sees results that are graded on our servers and kept as a record. The price is per family, not per child.

Who should choose which
These are different kinds of help. Here is how to tell which one fits your family.
Choose IXL if
- You want a diagnostic that finds gaps across a very large skill catalogue.
- You have an older child, since IXL runs to Year 12 and PebbleYard is for ages 5 to 11.
- You want Maths, English and Science in one membership.
Choose PebbleYard if
- You want short, parent-directed practice on what your child is studying this week.
- You want to write topics yourself rather than work through a fixed catalogue.
- You want one family price with no per-child add-ons.
