EduTyping Is Now Part of Typing.com: 3 Options for Schools

According to EduTyping's own announcement, Typing.com has acquired EduTyping and new EduTyping sign-ups are temporarily closed, as of October 2026. Your school has three options: move to Typing.com when you are ready, switch to TypingClub, or move to Meta Typing Club, where every lesson is free and students see no ads.

TL;DR: No deadline has been published, and EduTyping says existing licences stay valid for now. Typing.com, TypingClub and Meta Typing Club all offer free options for schools. Choose by ads, reports, privacy and language support, and plan the move before your next renewal with the 5-step checklist below.

What Changes for a School Now That Typing.com Owns EduTyping

According to EduTyping's transition page, there is no immediate impact on current users, no student data will be lost, existing licences and pricing stay as they are for now, and customers who want to move can transfer to Typing.com on request. According to the EduTyping home page, new sign-ups are temporarily closed. No end date has been published as of October 2026, which is exactly why a school should plan rather than wait. Four things to prepare for:

• Accounts: whenever the move happens, teacher and student logins land on a new platform and may need to be recreated.
• Rosters: class lists must be carried over, so export them while your EduTyping access is unchanged.
• Reports: historic progress data may not transfer, so save the reports you need for records.
• Pricing model: EduTyping says no changes are planned for existing licences for now; confirm in writing what your school pays after any move and which features sit behind a paid plan.

An acquisition with closed sign-ups is the right moment to compare alternatives, before a date is set for you.

Your Three Honest Options

Option 1: Move to Typing.com

EduTyping says Typing.com is set up to transfer customers on request, and Typing.com offers a free option for schools. The trade-off to verify is whether students see ads on the free tier and which reports require a paid plan.

Option 2: Move to TypingClub

TypingClub is another established typing program that schools can use for free. Review its current terms for ads shown to students and for what the school edition adds.

Option 3: Move to Meta Typing Club

Meta Typing Club (MTC) offers structured lessons that are all free, with no ads for students. It includes teacher, parent and school dashboards with reports, and it supports multiple international languages, including right-to-left heritage languages, inside the same account as English. Schools start free at metatypingclub.com/for-schools.

All three options cost a school nothing to start, so the decision comes down to ads, reporting, privacy and language needs.

Plain Comparison: What Matters to a School

Treat the cells marked "verify" as questions to put to each provider in writing before you commit; plans and prices on competitor sites changed more than once in 2026.

What matters	Typing.com	TypingClub	Meta Typing Club
Free tier for every student	Free option offered (verify limits)	Free option offered (verify limits)	Yes, every lesson is free
Ads for students	Verify	Verify	No ads for students
Teacher dashboard and reports	Yes (verify which are paid)	Yes (verify which are paid)	Teacher, parent and school dashboards with reports

Heritage and right-to-left languages with English in one account	Verify	Verify	Yes, multiple international languages in one account
Privacy posture	Read the policy	Read the policy	No student ads, no student email required for class codes

MTC's strongest fit is the bilingual classroom: a student can practice English and a heritage language from one login, and the teacher sees both in one report. It is also a fit for any school that wants students to see no advertising.

If your classroom is bilingual or you want zero ads in front of students, Meta Typing Club is built for that case.

5-Step Switch Checklist

1. Export your rosters. Download class lists and any reports you must keep while EduTyping access still works.
2. Pick your own date. Choose a switch week before your next renewal, ideally between units, so nothing breaks mid-term.
3. Create the school account. A tech coordinator or principal sets up the school on the platform you chose.
4. Add students with a class code. Teachers share a class code, so students join without handing over personal emails.
5. Run one class for a week. Pilot with a single class, check the reports and fix problems, then roll out to the rest.

A one-week pilot already shows whether reports and accuracy tracking work for your teachers.

A one-class, one-week pilot turns an ownership change into a low-risk decision.

Key Takeaways

• Typing.com has acquired EduTyping; new sign-ups are closed and existing licences stay valid for now.
• No deadline is published, so you choose the date: Typing.com, TypingClub, or Meta Typing Club.
• All three offer free options for schools, so compare ads, reports, privacy and languages.
• On MTC every lesson is free and students see no ads.
• MTC supports multiple international languages, including right-to-left heritage languages, in one account with English.
• Export rosters first, then pilot one class for a week.

Decide on ads, reports and languages first; the calendar is yours to set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my school have to move to Typing.com now that it owns EduTyping?

No. EduTyping's transition page says there is no immediate impact and existing licences remain valid; moving to Typing.com is one option you can take on request. You can also move to any provider you prefer, at a date you choose, as long as rosters and logins are ready before you switch.

Is Meta Typing Club really free for schools?

Yes. Every lesson is free and students see no ads. Schools start free at metatypingclub.com/for-schools.

Are Typing.com and TypingClub free too?

Both offer free options for schools. Confirm current ads and report features directly with each provider.

Can students join without sharing their emails?

On MTC, teachers share a class code, so students join a class without a personal email being collected by the school.

How long does a school switch take?

Plan on one week for a single-class pilot and one more week for the rest of the school. Export rosters first, create the school account, add one class with its code, and watch the reports for a week before you roll out; most of the time goes into choosing the week, not into the setup itself.

Every answer above holds as of October 2026; confirm competitor details on their own sites before you decide.

Choose on Your Schedule, Not Someone Else's

Export your rosters, compare the three options against your own priorities, and pilot one class. If ad-free practice and bilingual classrooms matter to you, start your school free on Meta Typing Club and be settled before anyone sets a date for you.
