Thrive is a financial literacy platform that teaches money topics through lessons, simulations, and real-world scenarios. Topics include budgeting, banking, credit, investing, taxes, paychecks, housing, debt, careers, insurance, retirement, and wealth building. Its simulations page lists 33 activities for classroom or home use on any device, with saved progress and run comparisons. Student tools include investing games, class leaderboards, an AI money coach, a paper portfolio tracker, goals, and streaks. Teachers can manage classrooms and rosters, assign simulations, use attached rubrics, and follow a live cohort dashboard. Thrive says its teacher offering includes more than 80 standards-mapped lessons with concept videos, guided simulations, and reflection prompts. Individual learners get everything free; schools and districts are directed to contact Thrive about pricing, SSO, and rollout. A 7-day trial is listed, and paid plans start at $4.99/mo. Thrive says it does not provide financial, investment, tax, accounting, or legal advice. Market prices shown are delayed end-of-day and for educational purposes, not investment advice.
