PhonoQuest vs Reading.com

Both stand on phonics apps. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Reading.com combines scripted phonics instruction with decodable books, games, and printable practice for young beginning readers. Parents get a seven-day trial, while teacher accounts add classroom management and a longer trial.
