I'd never heard of Math Academy. It seems interesting, but quite expensive ($49/month for software which is in beta). Would you say it's significantly superior to something like Khan Academy (which is free) to justify paying that much?

It is indeed expensive, especially considering my current location(Romania).

I have a rule of doing 20 XP per day, and I kept that rule for more than half a year. Maybe the price is also a factor, but I never managed to keep that pace for Khan Academy when I tried it. You can check their current courses here: https://www.mathacademy.com/courses

I think the topics and curriculum are more serious, and I would definitely recommend it if you have kids or are in highschool/uni. I'm 37 now and only do it to keep my brain sharp and build my mathematical intuition and I think is great for that due to its focus on practice and spaced reviews.

I think they have a 1-month trial, and you get your money back if you cancel within 30 days if you want to try it.

I tried Math academy twice and I cannot understand the hype but a lot of people seem to love it so maybe it's just not my style of learning. Each topic seemed to contain too little information to actually grasp it. It was like

Trig 1 -> This is a triangle and trig is about triangles.

Quiz 1: blah

It is vastly superior to Khan. Had my kids go through both, so can compare.

That said, on higher levels there's some cruft that trains mechanical skills, and that's on subjects that are needed only in the scope of the US system. For Europeans these should be optional, alas they are not and this adds a lot of tedium and hassle to an otherwise rather frictionless process.
