Which plan is right for my family?

If you're just getting started, the free Explorer plan covers the roadmap, readiness scan, college search, career assessment, and Claire, your Ambassador. Navigator ($29/mo) adds financial planning, the Common App companion, test prep, and four core AI advisors (Sage, Olivia, Nora, and Maya). Professional ($49/mo) unlocks the four specialist advisors (James, Evelyn, Theo, and Marcus), the AI essay writer, and the scholarship engine.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime from Settings. Annual plans save about 17% (two months free).

Is there a free plan?

Yes — the Explorer plan is free forever and includes the 6-year roadmap, readiness report card, college finder, career assessment, and basic financial tools.

Do both students and parents get access?
