Free covers a full loop. Plus is for going deeper.
You can do a full loop without paying or entering a card: a real Direction Snapshot, evidence, one action, one open question. Plus is there for when you want to keep working through something.
The guidance is the same quality at every price, including Access. Cancel any time, and nothing here predicts your odds of getting in anywhere.
$0
one-time, no monthly reset

$19/ month
monthly only, cancel any time
Room to keep going when one snapshot isn't the whole question. Experiments and profile updates draw from your replies, so there's no separate meter to ration.
- 100 mentor replies / month
- 4 deep guidance sessions / month
- 3 snapshot refreshes / month
- Experiments & profile updates included
No card to begin. You only choose Plus after the free loop, once you've seen what it does.
$0–5/ month
trust-based, no documents
For students for whom cost would otherwise be the reason to stop. Same model quality as Plus, the same three meters at lower numbers.
- 50 mentor replies / month
- 1 deep guidance session / month
- 1 snapshot refresh / 90 days
- A short application, no proof of hardship
Asking for support is normal. There's no public label, ever.
The whole system is three meters.
Replies, deep guidance sessions, and snapshot refreshes, with no tokens or model names dressed up as status tiers. Higher plans mean more room, not better answers.
- Mentor replies
- The everyday back-and-forth: 3 in total on Free, 100 a month on Plus, 50 a month on Access.
- Deep guidance sessions
- Longer, slower thinking: not on Free; 4 a month on Plus, 1 a month on Access.
- Snapshot refreshes
- Re-run a read as you change: the first is free, then 3 a month on Plus, 1 every 90 days on Access.
Experiments and profile updates aren't a separate meter; they draw from your replies, so there's nothing extra to track or run out of. The plan cards above carry the rest.
Cost shouldn’t be the reason a student can’t get guidance.
Asking for support is normal. The application is short and trust-based on purpose, because paperwork tends to turn away exactly the students a program like this is for.
When applications open, fill out a short form. We read each one and let you know if you're in. Asking for support is normal.
No documents
No tax forms, pay stubs, FAFSA, transcripts, or GPA. A short form: your situation and a few honest sentences. That’s it.
Same quality
Access uses the same models and the same three meters as Plus, at lower numbers. There is no second-class version of the guidance.
No public label
Nobody sees that you’re on Access. Renewable every 90 days by a simple request; a waitlist when seats are full.
The rules we hold ourselves to.
Premise charges for compute and time, not for anxiety. These are commitments, written down so you can hold us to them.
No fear conversion
We never imply you’ll fall behind or hurt your chances by not upgrading. The only honest reason to pay is wanting more room to keep working.
Access sits next to paid
Reduced-cost help is on this page, beside Plus, not hidden. The price you can afford never changes the quality of the guidance.
Clear cancellation
Plus is monthly and you can cancel any time. No card to start, and leaving takes one click.
No paywalled basics
Core college-access knowledge stays free. We never lock fundamental guidance behind a subscription.
