Spell Up vs SpellMe

Spell Up is a spelling practice platform for students and educators, available on web, iOS, and Android. Easy Mode combines audio pronunciation, multiple-choice questions, definition matching, immediate feedback, and a three-lives format. Competition Mode asks learners to spell words from audio and offers hints about word length, letters, and definitions. Practice also covers dictation, word formation, contextual usage, pattern recognition, and explanations of spelling rules. Teachers can assign custom word lists and monitor student progress. Learners can use personalized lists and adaptive practice; signed-in users can save chosen lists and track progress across devices. The site offers school and champions lists from the 2024 Scripps One Bee, Two Bee, and Three Bee competitions, as well as an SAT list. The interactive demo and word lists can be tried without signing up, while the full experience requires sign-up. The Google Play listing says practice can work without a constant internet connection and describes badges and a streak calendar. Spell Up has a free plan, though its terms say some services may require subscriptions that renew automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends.

SpellMe is a web app for interactive spelling practice at home or in classrooms. It offers Regular, Mastery, and Story modes, though access to some modes depends on the account tier. Mastery adjusts difficulty in response to performance, and hints can focus practice on letters a learner misses. Learners can make custom word lists or use curated phonics and festive lists; registered users can access the curated library. A dashboard tracks accuracy and word mastery, while teacher accounts add classroom management and student progress monitoring. Premium tools include hints, image-based list import, generated lists, and AI progress summaries. The free Basic plan includes five lists of up to ten words each, more than 300 curated phonics lists, and Regular Mode. Advanced costs £12/year and Premium costs £20/year, each with a 14-day free trial. SpellMe works on browser-based devices including Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, but requires an internet connection. Guest users can create one list of up to five words, with progress saved locally.
