The Daily Challenge, streaks, and shields are free forever. Study Hall unlocks everything else, once, for a flat price, not another subscription to track. For the SAT®, the ACT®, or both.
The game mechanics are free forever, the depth is what you're paying for.

Billed once for the whole group, not per card swipe. Email us with your student count and we'll set up group access and an invoice.
Nobody has to log in to check on anyone. On Free, the streak's right there in the app to share anytime. On Study Hall, a short email does the work quietly in the background, so the student never feels watched over their shoulder.
Two things worth knowing before you commit to anything.
SAT training has a natural end date, test day. A recurring charge doesn't match that, so Study Hall is a single payment covering a full year, no auto-renewal, nothing to remember to cancel.
If it's not the right fit, email us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked. We'd rather you feel confident buying it than hesitate over a price you're not sure about yet.
Email the address on your receipt within 30 days and we'll refund it, no forms, no reason required. It's manual for now while the app is early, so expect a real reply from a real person, not an instant auto-refund.
No. Streaks, shields, XP, and ranks stay free permanently, on any plan. Study Hall adds depth, more questions, more detail, not the core experience.
A full year from the day you buy it, not just through one test date. Most students train over a few months, so a year covers a full prep season with real room to spare, including a retake if you need one. If it runs out and you still want in, you can buy another year at the same price.
The same full access as Study Hall, just scoped to 60 days at a lower price, $49 instead of $99. Built for a test date that's only a couple months out, where a full year of access is more than you need. Switch between Full year and 60-Day Sprint right on the SAT and ACT cards above.
Yes, it's built to be upfront, not secret. Emailed progress reports are a Study Hall feature, the email address is added openly, in the app, and the student sees that it's on, along with picking weekly or after-every-session. On Free, there's no email at all, a parent just looks at the streak on screen.
Study Hall is per student. Each student gets their own profile with separate streaks, stats, and certificates, and their own access, $99 per exam or $179 for both. Multiple students can share one device; they just switch profiles.
Nothing changes. The Free plan stays exactly as it is, forever, with no ads. Your family's account and progress stay exactly the same either way: upgrading only unlocks more training, it doesn't change how or where your data is stored.
Questions, feedback, press, schools, anything. Send it straight to me.
