Buyer’s guide for SLPs •
An SLP subscription buys you one of three things: a library of ready-made materials, a planning and data system, or interactive practice for the student. Most SLPs end up with one library and one tool. Here is what each costs and what you actually get.
For the most materials per dollar, Ultimate SLP. For materials plus planning and data, SLP Now. If what you need is students practising aloud with the scoring and data done for you, Speech Therapy Magic, usually alongside a library rather than instead of one.
Prices checked October 2026 on each vendor’s own site. We make Speech Therapy Magic, which is #3 here; see how we chose.

Best for: the most materials for the money
A web library of interactive games and real-photo flashcard decks covering articulation, language and social skills from preschool to high school.
Honest limitation: No progress tracking or planning tools, so data collection stays on you.
Best for: materials plus planning and data in one place
More than 6,000 materials (skill packs, thematic and literacy units) plus a therapy planner, live data collection, progress charts and HIPAA-compliant storage. One membership, no tiers.
Honest limitation: The trial caps you at 5 downloads, which is not much to judge a 6,000-item library on.
Best for: interactive speech-sound practice with automatic scoring and data
Speech and language games where the student says each word into the microphone and gets a score saved to their profile by sound and position, plus a deck builder (Magic Studio) with PIN sharing, illustrated target-sound stories, printable worksheets and home practice links.
Honest limitation: Not a big materials library or a planning system, and 3 student profiles are included (extras $4.99/month each, up to 10). The pronunciation score is a practice signal, not a diagnosis. It scores against a fixed set of speech sounds, so a distortion (an almost-right R, a lisped S) is not reliably told apart from a correct sound, and an adult's ear still decides. Our published benchmark shows where it falls short.
Best for: SLPs who already buy Boom decks
A platform for self-checking digital task cards. The membership unlocks classrooms, student seats and reports; the decks themselves are bought in the Boom Store.
Honest limitation: The cheapest membership here, but it includes no content: every deck costs extra.
Best for: no-print activities for SMART Boards and teletherapy
More than 2,000 interactive no-print activities with QuickLinks to share with students. A caseload planner is in beta.
Honest limitation: The most expensive general library here, and the monthly plan includes only 5 QuickLinks a month.
Best for: research-based printables you download and keep
Unlimited downloads of every Speechy Musings resource (articulation and phonology, language units, story units, AAC tools, wordless picture books) for one SLP, including new releases.
Honest limitation: Annual only with no refunds, and when the pass lapses you can no longer download (files you already have keep working).
Best for: a complete social-skills curriculum
Video modelling, games and worksheets in sequenced social-communication units, with pre and post assessments and progress tracking.
Honest limitation: Several times the price of the others, and social skills only.
If you pay monthly only during the school year, ten months is the fair comparison: Ultimate SLP comes to about $130, SLP Now $290, The Digital SLP $350 and Speech Therapy Magic $99.90. On annual plans, Boom Premium is the cheapest at $49.99 before decks, then Speech Therapy Magic, Ultimate SLP, Speechy Musings, SLP Now, The Digital SLP and Everyday Speech.
Stacking two subscriptions is common and reasonable: one materials library for variety, plus one tool for the job your library does not do, whether that is planning and data (SLP Now, SLP Toolkit) or practice the student does aloud with feedback (Speech Therapy Magic).
We make Speech Therapy Magic, so read our own entry with the scepticism you would give any vendor writing about itself. We placed it where we think it honestly fits for this buyer, which is not always first, and every entry, ours included, carries a real limitation.
For this guide we weighed:
Prices were read off each vendor’s own pricing page or App Store listing in October 2026. Where a vendor only quotes on request or shows prices in local currency, we say so rather than print a number we could not check. Nobody paid to be listed, and there are no affiliate links on this page. Found something out of date? Tell us on the contact page.
