The free tier is the whole platform. Most "free" tiers in EdTech are trials. They give you limited access to a product designed to be paid — and after 14 or 30 days, or once you hit a student cap, the walls go up.

The SprintUp Education free tier is not that. It is a fully functional, permanently free version of the platform with no time limit, no student seat fee, and no paywall on the core tools.

This cluster answers every question a school founder or curriculum creator has before they commit to building on the platform: what exactly is included, what are the actual limits, when does it make sense to pay for more, and how does the AI credit system work in practice.

No marketing language. No asterisks that change the picture at checkout. 💡 The short version: You can launch a fully operational school — campus, AI tools, marketplace access, student portal, and your own website — on the free tier today, with no credit card required.

The only thing that costs money is additional AI credits beyond the free monthly allocation, and paid subscriptions for creators who want more. Everything else is free, permanently.
