Compare Codementum vs CodeMonkey

James, Head of Digital: It's a great extra to the curriculum, self paced learning and allows pupils to progress in coding. I like that it's not just the "game" element, but has App Maker and other tasks too. Good price for schools.

Rachael Morris, Acting Head of Department: Really fun way to learn code. Excellent GUI and portal. However, I was disappointed that we couldn't get clearer results from the competition i.e. a clear indication of who did and didn't complete all 30 challenges. Some students also clicked 'Start coding' instead of 'Join the competition' (an easy mistake to make as the buttons were right next to each other) , this caused problems for them and meant they couldn't progress through the levels.

Ameer, Student: Codementum is an excellent tool for both beginners and those wish to expand their coding knowledge. They’ve managed to make a fun, practical and unique way to learn coding which will always leave the user wanting to come back and learn some more !

Matt Morgenroth: My son said it was 5 of 10 because he sometimes doesn't want to use it.

Marna Pieterse: As a parent navigating the shift from homeschooling to public school in a new country, finding tools that genuinely support both my child’s learning and my role as her tutor has felt overwhelming at times. CodeMonkey has been a rare find—simple yet powerful. In just two weeks, it’s helped Lily rediscover her confidence and enthusiasm for independent learning, especially in coding and math. The built-in guidance feature is brilliant: she can get support when she’s stuck, which empowers her to problem-solve on her own and takes pressure off me to guide her through a field I’m unfamiliar with. The platform isn’t just educational—it’s emotionally supportive, intuitive, and uplifting. That’s why I gave it a ten out of ten. It’s not just teaching my daughter to code—it’s helping her believe she can.

Cheri Pasterchek: There's no instructions on how to physically use the commands in the programs. You have to play around with it and try to figure out what to use and how to use it because there's no instructions on what things are. A brand new novice person that's never used a computer app program before, is struggling to figure out how to use the commands not just which commands to use to make the program work but how to use the commands in the first place. It took us hours to figure out how to use a loop command and put more than one command in it because you have no instructions at all on how to physically move icons and where to put them in order to do a particular function. And then we got no response from your support team when we asked for help.
