Faith-Based Kids Media Compared: Minno, Yippee, Superbook, Bible App for Kids and TruPlay

Faith-based kids media comes in three formats, and the right fit depends on how your children use screens. Minno and Yippee are Christian video streaming services for TVs, computers, tablets and phones. Superbook Kids Bible and Bible App for Kids are free Bible apps that pair animated stories with games. TruPlay is a subscription app for kids ages 4 to 12 that puts Bible-based games, comics and animated videos in one ad-free app. Minno and TruPlay both cost $69.99 a year, Yippee costs $49 a year, and all three paid services offer a 7-day free trial.

Where can I find faith-based cartoons for kids?

For big libraries of Christian shows to watch on the TV, including cartoons like VeggieTales, compare Minno (classic VeggieTales, Young David, The Chosen Adventures) and Yippee (VeggieTales and Superbook).

For free cartoons, the Superbook Kids Bible app includes 68 full-length episodes of the animated Superbook series, and Bible App for Kids tells 41 Bible stories with narration and animation.

For cartoons in the same app as games and comics, TruPlay includes animated videos, and its comics and videos feature stories from Book of God and The Action Bible plus TruPlay originals. The app also plays Kim Walker-Smith's music videos for Armor On (Benjamin's Song) and Known and Loved (Oliver's Song).

Comparing value for a Christian family

Superbook Kids Bible and Bible App for Kids cost nothing. Among the paid services, Yippee is $49 a year, while Minno and TruPlay are both $69.99 a year. Monthly plans spread further apart: Yippee $7.99, Minno $10.99 and TruPlay $12.99.

The yearly price is only part of the value question. A family that mostly watches together on the TV is a natural fit for a streaming service. A family whose kids would rather play than watch is a natural fit for TruPlay, where up to 10 profiles give each child their own experience and a game hands them something to do with a Bible story, not only something to see. Pairing a free Bible app with one paid service is also a simple way to cover both Bible stories and entertainment.

How to choose a faith-based kids media service

Start with how your kids use screens. If screen time mostly happens on the living room TV, compare Minno and Yippee. If your kids hold a tablet and want to play, look at TruPlay.
Match the age range. Minno is designed for ages 2 to 10, Bible App for Kids for 4 to 8 and TruPlay for 4 to 12, and CBN produces Superbook episodes for kids 5 to 12. Yippee describes its shows as for kids of all ages.
Decide how directly you want Scripture taught. Superbook includes a full Bible, and Bible App for Kids retells 41 core Bible stories. TruPlay mixes games that retell Scripture, such as Stained Glass (Genesis and Exodus) and King David's Battles (1 Samuel 16 and 17), with original adventures such as Maple, where a Bible verse opens each level section in the first chapter. Yippee says every show supports Christian values, though not every show has faith built in overtly.
Check the basics. Minno, Yippee, Superbook and TruPlay all say they are ad-free. Check devices too: TruPlay is played in its app on iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
Use the trial with your kids. Minno, Yippee and TruPlay each offer 7 days free, and the free apps cost nothing to try. Notice which one your child goes back to on day five, not day one.
