Plans are monthly and renew automatically until you cancel. You pay through Stripe Checkout. Your card statement may show "Stellar Foundation", because our payments currently run through a Stripe account shared with our nonprofit partner.

No. One-on-one help is paid separately. Course selection is free, and paid services start at $15 per essay for essay review.

Each service shows a starting price in Canadian dollars. The final price depends on scope, like how many schools, essays or scholarships you need help with. We agree the scope and confirm the price before any work starts, and the price can flex with your family's circumstances.
