The study system is the same at every level. Each paid package adds services on top of the one below it; anything outside your package is pay-per-use with tokens.
Prices are per student — two students is twice the monthly price, on any level. Each paid package includes a monthly token allowance; past that, services are pay-per-use at 20¢ a token.

Included tokens land on the account each month. Extra tokens are 20¢ each — 100 tokens is $20 — bought as needed, and they do not expire. Each column shows what a service costs at that level: the same token buys more the higher your package. Parents can see exactly what has been spent, and on what, from their dashboard.

Every new account opens with a one-week free trial of the whole platform — the membership extras and 200 tokens to try the paid services, no card required. When the week ends, the free features listed above are still there at no cost, and nothing renews unless you decide it should.
