Free until a family pays you. Move to the flat-rate Studio plan when the math flips — we’ll quietly tell you the month it does.
Start on Pay-as-you-earn — free until a family pays you. Move to Studio when the math flips.
Free forever. 2% platform fee on card payments, on top of standard Stripe processing.
Best for: new studios, under ~$1,950/mo collected.
Flat rate. Zero platform fee. Unlimited students and the premium features.
Break-even: ~$1,950/mo collected — and the Studio plan pays for itself.
The break-even line is ~$1,950/month in collected card volume. Below it, PAYG wins. Above it, Studio wins — and you get the features too.
Verdict: Pay-as-you-earn
~$24/mo in platform fees. Studio would cost $39, so PAYG saves ~$15/mo.
Verdict: Either — close to break-even
~$66/mo PAYG fees vs $39 Studio. SMS reminders + unlimited students tip it to Studio for most teachers here.
Verdict: Studio
PAYG would be ~$108/mo in platform fees and you’d hit the 25-student cap. Studio at $39/mo is a no-brainer.

Yes. Upgrade to Studio and you’re billed pro-rated for the rest of the cycle. Downgrade and the change takes effect at the next renewal — you keep the Studio features until then.
PAYG is free, so nothing happens to your access. Studio subscribers keep their plan as long as the $39/mo charges through. If your card fails, we retry for 7 days then drop you to PAYG — no data loss.
If you cancel within 14 days of your first paid month and you’re unhappy, we refund that month, no questions. After that, cancellations stop the next bill but don’t refund the current one.
They stay overdue. Switching plans doesn’t change anything about your students’ invoices — only your access to Studio-only features.
Free to start. No card, no download. Up and running before your next lesson.
