The free plan takes you further than you think. One educator, ten students, your own campus and website, and AI generation that is never metered on the relax lane. For many small schools and new programmes, this covers everything — indefinitely.
The platform, the website, the classrooms, the student portal, and the marketplace access are all free regardless of how long you use them or how many courses you build. Growth beyond the free plan is a credit question, not a feature question.
You never lose access to any platform feature by staying on the free plan. What you hit is a limit: an eleventh student, a second website, a second teacher, or wanting premium models and instant generation every day — that's when upgrading makes sense.
This cluster helps you identify that moment and choose the right upgrade path. 🔒 Founding school discount: Schools that joined during the founding cohort period have their credit top-up pricing locked permanently.
If you're reading this as a founding member, your upgrade costs are lower than what new schools pay. Article 1
