Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool vs Time4Learning
The main differences
Both put a child's daily lessons on a computer. Easy Peasy is free: each day's assignment links out to readings, videos, games and worksheets on other websites, it keeps no records, and the publisher suggests an ad blocker. Time4Learning is a paid membership whose own lessons, quizzes and worksheets are graded by the program, with progress reports for the parent. Easy Peasy covers preschool to 8th grade with a sister site for high school; Time4Learning runs from pre-K to 12th grade on one site.

The annual plan is shown as $27.96 a month (30% off), about $335.52 for the year. A second student is 10% off. |
| Placement | Free placement test and guides ↗ | How to choose a grade level (FAQ) ↗ |
| Parent time | Not stated by the publisher | The publisher says parents may spend 1 to 2 hours a day guiding kindergarten to 2nd grade, 30 minutes to 1 hour a day for 3rd to 8th grade, and 15 to 30 minutes a day in high school. |
| It fits | A family that needs a complete, free plan with daily assignments a child can follow on a computer with little parent planning. | A family that wants the child to learn mostly on screen at their own pace, with grading and progress reports handled by the program. |
| It doesn't fit | A family that wants to keep children off outside websites and videos, or that wants a structured spelling program. | A family that wants to keep screen time low, or that needs an accredited school with teachers, grades on a transcript and a diploma. |
Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool
Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool is a free online curriculum with 180 days of assignments for each level from preschool to 8th grade, and a sister site for high school. The child opens each day's lesson on the computer and follows links to free readings, videos, games and worksheets. A level sets math, reading and language arts, and the whole family shares one yearly theme for history and science. Printed workbooks and offline math, reading and language arts books are sold separately.
Does well: The online curriculum is free, with 180 days of assignments for each level and no books to buy.
Watch for: Lessons send children to many outside websites and videos; the publisher suggests an ad blocker and YouTube Restricted Mode.

Time4Learning
Time4Learning is an online curriculum for pre-K to 12th grade that the child works through on a computer at their own pace. Lessons mix recorded video instruction, interactive activities, quizzes and printable worksheets, and the program grades the work and keeps progress reports for the parent. A monthly membership for one student includes four core courses in elementary (language arts, math, and science and social studies for most grades) and four core courses plus three electives from 6th grade.
Does well: One monthly price covers the core subjects for a grade, with lessons, quizzes and grading all done in the program.
Watch for: Most of the teaching happens on screen, and it needs a PC or Mac with a steady internet connection; Android is not supported for K to 5th grade.

How we label
Every fact on a card was read on the publisher's own website on the date shown, and the page it came from is linked. A fact we could not confirm there is left out. Costs are for one child and one year of the main package, as the publisher's page showed them that day; prices and sales change. Method and format are the publisher's own description where it gives one. The only thing we say about religion is one label, secular or faith-based, given by the rule above; where the publisher's pages don't settle it, the card has no label.
