FitMoney $uperSquad

Overview

Run by philanthropic nonprofit FitMoney, $uperSquad teaches real-world financial decision-making through video modules, games, and choose-your-own-adventure stories. Learners earn points as they progress, giving the curriculum an interactive structure rather than relying on instruction alone. The activities are leveled for K–6 students, which makes the program relevant across a broad elementary-school age range.

The curriculum covers budgeting, credit, and investing, alongside financial simulations, guided practice, and personalized learning. Common Sense Education rates it four stars. Students under 13 need a parent or guardian’s permission to create an account.

Key features

Multiple activity formats give learners different ways to encounter financial concepts, while leveled games and stories make the curriculum suitable for elementary students. Educators can check an individual learner’s completed missions in that learner’s Award Center. They cannot see all students’ progress at once, however, so tracking a class or spotting who needs help requires checking learners individually.

Voice-overs for questions and game instructions, plus a color-contrast adjustment, are useful accessibility controls. FitMoney says it does not sell personal information to third parties, though it may share information with service providers or an associated school or educational organization. It may collect a child’s first name and last initial, age, parent email, and technical interaction data, including to obtain parental consent where COPPA requires it.

Pricing

$uperSquad: 0.00 USD per free. The plan is free for every learner and includes the K–6 curriculum. There is no free trial; the full curriculum is available without a paid tier, making it a practical option for schools and families that want to avoid a subscription cost. No seat limit is stated.

Platforms

$uperSquad is available on Android, iOS, and the web. It supports touchscreen mobile devices, including Android phones and iPhones, through most up-to-date browsers. FitMoney recommends a persistent internet connection of 400 Kbps per connected user, an up-to-date browser, 4 GB of RAM, and a display of at least 6.5 inches diagonally and 375 × 667 pixels. Those requirements matter for classrooms planning to use older devices or weaker connections.

Who it's for

$uperSquad is a good fit for educators, students, and caregivers seeking a free financial literacy curriculum that can be used at school or at home. Its K–6 levels, varied activities, and accessibility controls support elementary learners across different settings. It is a weaker choice for teachers who need a consolidated class dashboard to monitor mission completion.
