About Anton

Anton is a learning app that is completely free and ad-free in its basic version, particularly strong for primary and lower secondary pupils (grades 1–10). Gamification elements such as coins and games motivate practice. Many schools use Anton with a school licence – in some federal states the state covers the costs (according to the provider, for example Baden-Württemberg until 31 January 2027 and Brandenburg until 31 October 2027). The optional Plus version (ANTON Plus or Plus Familie) with offline mode is bought by adults in the app; the app shows the current price.
