Best Spelling Apps in 2026
Updated
In short: SpellMe is ranked #1 of 25 as of 4 October 2026, ahead of Spelling Shed and Spelling.Live. The best-ranked option with a free plan is Spelling Shed. The lowest first paid tier on this page is DoodleSpell at £0.50/mo.
If you’re helping a learner strengthen spelling, compare the kinds of practice and teaching support each app offers. The ranking starts with SpellMe, Spelling.Live, and Spelling Shed, followed by Spelling Boost and PenPoints. Look at corrective practice, dictation practice, and phonics instruction to see how learners can work with words; word-list import may matter when practice should use selected vocabulary. Offline access, a free plan, and the paid starting price are also useful points to weigh. If you’re choosing for a class, consider whether a teacher dashboard fits how you plan to support and follow learners’ practice.
