SpeechTherapyMagic vs Everyday Speech
The verdict, up front
Everyday Speech is the better buy for a school SLP or counselor who needs a complete PreK–12 social-emotional curriculum with assessments, while SpeechTherapyMagic fits parents and SLPs who want children aged 6–13 to rehearse social replies out loud, alongside speech-sound practice, for $9.99/month or $79.99/year.
Everyday Speech teaches social skills through video modelling: children watch peers handle a situation, then discuss and practise. Our social games, Social Spark and Social Scenes, ask the child to choose a reply and say it aloud. One is a curriculum; the other is practice. Everyday Speech also costs far more, because it is priced for schools.
We build SpeechTherapyMagic and are not affiliated with Everyday Speech. Its facts were checked on everydayspeech.com and its help center in October 2026.

Using both
They do not have to compete. You can teach a skill with a video lesson and use a scene for rehearsal afterwards, where the child says the words and hears the playback. If you only buy one and your caseload is mostly social-emotional, Everyday Speech is the more complete tool.
