### Frequently Asked Questions

**Is the Basic plan really free?** Yes. No credit card is required, no ads, and there's no expiration date.

**What happens when my classroom outgrows the free Basic plan?** You have two paths: go solo with School Champion (unlocks the full toolkit for your classroom, 40 to 100 students), or bring the rest of your school on board and unlock it for every classroom in the building.

**How much does School Champion cost?** $1 per student per month, billed monthly or annually. Annual billing comes with a 30% discount.

**Do I need my school's approval to get the School Champion plan?** No. It's built for teachers who want to move now rather than wait on a budget cycle. You can sign up with a card and be set up in minutes, no PO or procurement process required, unless your school has a specific policy requiring one.

**How is the School & District plan priced?** Per student, so you're never paying for seats you don't need. Reach out with your enrollment numbers, and we'll build a quote, whether that's for one grade level or an entire district.

**Can I upgrade later?** Yes, any time. Upgrading from Basic to School Champion or a School & District plan takes just a few minutes, and everything you've already built- student progress, reading levels, and history- comes with you. No starting over.
