A comparison written by one of the two

Letters & Devotion vs Power Homeschool

We make one of these, so read this the way you would read any comparison written by a seller. What we can do is be specific about our own product, accurate about the shape of theirs, and honest about where they are the better answer. Their current price is on their site, not on this page, and the reason is at the bottom.

What Power Homeschool is

Power Homeschool is the parent-led version of the Acellus courseware: recorded video lectures with practice, a very large course catalog including a wide range of electives and advanced courses, and a parent account that assigns and monitors. Acellus Academy is a separate, accredited school product from the same organisation, which is worth knowing because the two get discussed as if they were one thing.

The pricing difference that actually decides it

Power Homeschool prices per student, with a cap on how many courses a subscription includes at one time. Their published figures have moved and third-party sources disagree with each other, so check the current price on their own enrolment page rather than on any review site, including this one.

Letters & Devotion is $29 a month for every child in the household, month to month, with no per-child seats and no course limits. That is $348 a year whether you have one child or four, or $290 a year on the annual plan. The first 30 days are free with no card, and when they end, lessons pause unless you choose to subscribe.

The comparison to run is the same either way: monthly price, times the number of children, times twelve.

When Power Homeschool is the better choice

  • You want video lectures. Power Homeschool is built on recorded teaching video. Letters & Devotion teaches through written explanation and conversation with no lecture video at all, and if your child learns best by watching, that is a genuine reason to choose them.
  • You need an unusual elective or advanced course. Their catalog is much larger than 84 courses and covers subjects we simply do not have.
  • You want an accredited option with a diploma. Their sibling product, Acellus Academy, is an accredited school. Letters & Devotion is a curriculum and issues no diploma, so if accreditation is the requirement, we are not a candidate.

Where Letters & Devotion is different

One price, every child, every course

$29 a month covers every child in the household and every one of the 84 courses at once. There is no course cap and nothing extra to buy to add a subject.

The teacher responds instead of playing

Clara reads the actual answer your child gave and explains the specific mistake in it. That is a different thing from a recorded lecture followed by a graded quiz, and it is the thing this product is built around.

Read the whole curriculum before paying

All 84 courses are open in full with no account and no card, every unit and skill in teaching order.

You can read what was said to your child

Every conversation between Clara and your child is readable from the parent side, in order, kept for 30 days and then deleted.

What grade(s)? (so their first lesson is ready)

Before your child starts: what we collect and why

We collect only what it takes to teach your child: the first name and sign-in you choose, their answers and progress, and their chat with Clara (written by Anthropic's AI, read aloud by OpenAI). Nobody trains AI on it or sells it, and you can see or delete it any time. You create your child's account yourself. Ticking the box below is how you, as the parent, give consent.

Read what we collect and why

Your consent is needed before we collect anything from your child, and we collect nothing without it. You create your child's account yourself; they never sign up alone.

  • What we collect from your child: the first name and sign-in you choose, their answers, time on lessons and progress, and their chat with Clara. Used to run the lessons, build their transcript and show you how they are doing.
  • Who else handles it: Anthropic writes Clara's replies from the chat, the lesson and your child's first name. OpenAI turns lesson text and Clara's replies into the read-aloud voice. Spoken answers are turned into text on our own server and never sent anywhere. Our email provider sends you reports. Nobody sells your child's data or uses it for anything else.
  • Your rights: see everything collected from your child, have it deleted, or stop further collection at any time, from your account or by emailing our support address. If you refuse the sharing above, Clara cannot teach, so the service cannot run. Chats are deleted after 30 days.
  • Safety: if your child writes something suggesting they may be hurt or in danger, we email you and the owner of Letters & Devotion the same day.

Ticking the box below is how you, as the parent, give that consent. Full details, including how long we keep each thing: Privacy Policy (version 2026-10-09).

Free for 30 days. No card. When the free days end, lessons pause unless you choose to subscribe, $29 a month for every child in the family. Nothing is ever charged without a card.

By continuing you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy.

Questions parents ask

Is Power Homeschool the same as Acellus?

Power Homeschool is the parent-led product built on Acellus courseware. Acellus Academy is a separate accredited school product from the same organisation. They are often discussed as one thing and they are not.

Which one is accredited?

Neither Power Homeschool nor Letters & Devotion is an accredited school; both are curricula for parent-led homeschools. Acellus Academy, their separate product, is accredited.

Which has more courses?

They do, considerably. Letters & Devotion has 84 courses covering the core subjects K-12 plus health, PE, art, music, computer science and world languages. If you need an elective outside that, they are more likely to have it.

Why there is no price for Power Homeschool on this page

We checked in September 2026 and the sources contradicted each other, including the companies' own pages against the review sites. Publishing a competitor's price that turns out to be wrong is unfair to them and useless to you, and any figure here would be out of date within a month anyway. Ours is above, because it is ours and we can stand behind it. Theirs is one click away, on their site, where it is current.
