§ IV.i Side-by-side

Every line, compared.

The Free analysis is intentionally complete enough to be useful — and intentionally narrow enough that the things that actually move admissions decisions live one tier up.

Request access
Free tier first. Refunds only on failure.
Premium Reports are non-refundable once generation begins. Refunds are issued only for failed report generation, duplicate charges, or technical malfunction — that's why the Free analysis exists. Read the composite first, decide if you want the full file.
No subscription, ever.
Pay once per profile. We don't sell ongoing counseling, and we don't auto-renew you into anything.
Anonymized at intake.
Applicants are hashed before scoring. Names, addresses, schools-of-origin never enter the model.
§ IV.iii Pricing Questions

The fine print, in plain English.

Everything we'd want a friend to ask before paying. If we missed something, the contact link in the footer goes to a real inbox.

Why $15 — and not a subscription?

Most users run one or two profiles in their cycle. A subscription would punish that. Pay once, get the report, leave.

Is the Free analysis a stripped trial?

No. Free is its own report — a real composite, real percentile, real diagnosis. It just stops short of the levers (ranked ECs, narrative dissection, school-specific weaknesses, roadmap) that take serious modeling to produce.

Do I have to pay before I see anything?

Never. The composite score, percentile, strengths, and weakness are visible on Free with no card required.

What if my profile changes?

Premium includes one free re-run within 30 days of purchase — finish that EC, retake the test, then re-score against the same cohort.

How do refunds work?

Reports are non-refundable once generation begins, given the computational cost. Refunds are issued only for failed report generation, duplicate charges, or technical malfunction. Email billing with your order ID.

Can I share the PDF with my counselor?

Yes — Premium includes an advisor share link. The PDF is anonymized; nothing in the file ties to a real-world identity unless you add it yourself.

Do bundles expire?

No expiry on the 3- and 10-packs. School bundles run for the cycle they were quoted in.

What payment methods?

Card, Apple/Google Pay, and ACH for school bundles. International cards welcome — pricing displayed in USD.

The score is free.
The verdict is $15.

Start with the free composite. If the diagnosis lands, the Premium Report tells you exactly what to do next — week by week, school by school.
