Good guidance shouldn’t hinge on what you can pay.
Start free. Add Plus when you want more room each month. If cost is in the way, Access is $0 to $5 a month.

- Mentor reply
- One answer from your mentor in a conversation.
- Direction Snapshot
- A written read built only from what you’ve told Premise: what it heard, a few paths worth your time, and one small thing to try this week. A refresh rebuilds it with what’s new.
- Action experiment
- A small thing to try, planned with the mentor around your time.
- Reflection
- Telling the mentor what happened, which can update your profile.

If cost is the barrier, apply for Access.
Access is $0 to $5 a month. Tell us a little about your situation. We read every application ourselves and answer each one.
Apply for AccessNo documents
No tax forms, pay stubs, FAFSA, transcripts, or GPA. Just a short form with your situation and a few honest sentences.
Same quality
Access uses the same models and the same monthly meters as Plus, with lower allowances. The guidance standards are the same.
No public label
Your Access status is not shown anywhere public. Ask us when you need it renewed; availability depends on open places.
Questions about pricing.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes. It needs no payment card and resets every month. During the private tester phase an invitation is required, and your tester grant sets your limits.
Do paid plans get better answers?
No. Every plan uses the same guidance standards. Paying buys a larger monthly allowance. None predicts your admissions odds, writes a word of your essay, invents a passion project, or pushes you toward a name.
When does my allowance reset?
At the start of each calendar month, on every plan. During the tester phase, your tester grant sets your limits and dates instead.
Can I cancel Plus?
Plus is billed monthly. Cancel any time from your account’s billing page. Plus opens after the tester phase.
Will Premise push me to upgrade?
No. We never imply you’ll fall behind by not upgrading. The only reason to pay is wanting more room to keep going.
Who can apply for Access?
Any student for whom cost is the barrier. The application is a short form with your situation and a few honest sentences; we do not ask for documents proving hardship.
Start with the free plan.
The free plan resets every month. Upgrade only if you want more room.
