Our verdict
Edupia suits parents who want a grade-by-grade English course with AI pronunciation scoring and regular progress reports; the Teen price list includes a lifetime package at 3,600,000 VND ($159.99 on the US App Store). The trade-offs are an English-only scope, packages with the same name priced differently across sales channels, and refunds limited to a few narrow cases.
Best for: Parents of children in grades 1-9 who want a level-by-level English path
Skip it if: Anyone who needs subjects other than English: the homepage lists only English products
Pros
- The iSpeak tool scores pronunciation accuracy (per FPT Shop), and the Edupia AI app adds AI Talk for daily speaking practice with an AI assistant
- Parents receive weekly and monthly learning reports to track progress
- High Vietnamese App Store score: Edupia AI holds 4.7/5 from 12,288 ratings
Cons
- Inconsistent prices: the Basic package is 1,800,000 VND on the Teen price list but 2,999,000 VND in the Kid app on the Vietnamese App Store
- After payment, refunds cover only 4 cases, and promotional orders with physical gifts are excluded

Experience & key features
What is Edupia?
Edupia is an online English-learning platform from Educa Corporation in Hanoi, founded in 2018 by Tran Duc Hung according to TechCrunch. The homepage lists Edupia AI (a self-study app for students aged 6-15), Edupia Pro (online English tutoring for the same ages), Babilala (children aged 3-8) and Edupia Business (corporate training). There are apps on the App Store and Google Play, and it also runs in a browser.
How it works and key features
Per the App Store description, the Teen app (grades 6-9) teaches vocabulary and grammar through games, listening through live classes and speaking with AI pronunciation scoring, plus writing lessons and 100+ practice tests. The Edupia AI app adds live online classes with teachers and teaching assistants (some led by native speakers), AI Talk for an hour of daily role-play speaking practice with an AI assistant, and weekly and monthly reports for parents. FPT Shop describes iSpeak as a virtual teacher that scores pronunciation accuracy.
Pricing and value
Edupia sells one-off packages rather than monthly subscriptions. On the US App Store, the Teen app lists its trial, Basic, Special and 3-level packages at $49.99, $84.99, $159.99 and $299.99. In Vietnam, the Teen price list on edupiasecondary.vn shows 1,000,000 VND (3 months), 1,800,000 VND (1 year), 3,600,000 VND (lifetime) and 7,200,000 VND, while the Kid app on the Vietnamese App Store charges more for packages with the same names (1,499,000 to 9,999,000 VND) and the Edupia AI app sells a single English package at 1,999,000 VND. Because the same package name carries different prices by channel, check which one applies to your child's level before paying.
More analysis
Who it's for
Edupia suits parents who want a curriculum built for Vietnamese students, with progress tracking. Duolingo and Monkey aim at a broader range of learners, while ELSA Speak focuses on pronunciation. Before buying, weigh the English-only scope, the price differences between channels and the narrow refund conditions.

Cancellation & refunds
Per the exchange and refund policy on edupia.vn, you can change the package or cancel before paying. After payment you can only move up to a package with an equal or higher list price (the code must be activated within 2 days, one exchange per code). Refunds apply only when none of the registered devices meets the technical requirements and the code is unactivated, when a software error cannot be fixed, when a consultant gave wrong information, or when money was transferred by mistake. Bank refunds take up to 15 working days; card refunds take 10-30 days depending on the bank. Orders from promotions that include physical gifts cannot be exchanged or refunded.
Privacy
The privacy policy on edupia.vn says Edupia collects full name, email, phone number and address for consultations, notices, surveys, course marketing and fraud prevention. It commits to not sharing data with third parties without consent except at the request of authorities, and to notifying authorities and affected customers if a server attack exposes data. Data is kept until the customer asks for deletion. The policy has no section on children's data or parental consent, although the sign-up form asks for the child's name and date of birth. The Edupia AI app's App Store privacy label (self-declared by the developer, not verified by Apple) says identifiers may be used to track users across other companies' apps and websites, and for third-party advertising. No data breach reported by the press or a regulator was found.

Frequently asked questions
Is Edupia free?
Partly. The apps are free to download, but the full course needs a paid package. Per FPT Shop some levels include free lessons and exercises; the official site does not say what the free tier covers.
How much is Edupia's lifetime package?
The Teen app's Special package costs $159.99 on the US App Store. In Vietnam, the Edupia Teen price list shows the Special Lifetime package at 3,600,000 VND, while the Kid app on the Vietnamese App Store lists its Special package at 4,999,000 VND, so confirm the level and sales channel first.
Can I get a refund after buying?
Only in a few cases: an unsupported device (with the code still unactivated), an unfixable software error, wrong information from a consultant, or a mistaken transfer. You can also move up to a package of equal or higher price if the code is activated within 2 days. Promotional orders with physical gifts cannot be exchanged or refunded.
Does Edupia have an English interface?
Not that we could find. The website and app descriptions are in Vietnamese; the App Store metadata declares EN, but an English interface could not be verified.

Why this score
Works on web, iOS and Android, and the apps score 4.2-4.7/5 on the Vietnamese App Store. Marked down for a Vietnamese-only interface and a lineup split into several apps by age (Kid, Teen, Edupia AI), which leaves parents to work out which one fits.
Why this score
Per the App Store descriptions, the apps cover vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking with AI pronunciation scoring, writing, 100+ practice tests (Teen app), live classes with teachers and teaching assistants, and AI Talk speaking practice with an AI assistant. The scope is English only; Edupia Business is corporate training, not a tool for schools.
Why this score
The lifetime package ($159.99 on the US App Store) is more convenient than a monthly subscription, but there is no basis for a like-for-like price comparison with rivals. Marked down because the same package costs different amounts on the official page and the App Store, and refund conditions are narrow.
Why this score
The apps were updated recently (31 Oct and 2 Nov 2026 on the App Store) and Edupia AI holds 4.7/5. There is no independent data on learning outcomes, so the score is held back.
Why this score
A hotline open 8:00-21:30 every day and a published exchange policy. No support email or online help center is listed.
Why this score
The policy commits to no sharing without consent and to breach notification, but has no section on children's data even though its users are schoolchildren. The Edupia AI app's App Store label lists identifiers that may be used for tracking and third-party advertising. No incident has been reported.
