Pricing
The free plan is genuinely useful. Pro removes the limits. Prices are in euros and include VAT where it applies. There is no trial that expires and no feature that stops working when it ends — the free plan is the free plan.
Payments are running through the local mock provider. No card is charged and no card details are collected. Checkout runs against the built-in local mock provider, which simulates the whole subscription and webhook cycle so the flow can be tested end to end. Card details are never requested and never stored. Subscribing here grants the plan in this environment only.

What the free plan actually gives you
Reference material is not a teaser. The dictionary, the grammar library and the character and radical pages are open to everyone, signed in or not — they are the part of the platform a search engine should be able to index and a learner should be able to rely on without an account.
Dictionary
752 published vocabulary entries, with pinyin, senses, examples and a character breakdown — all readable without an account.
Grammar library
44 published grammar points, each with its structure formula, the sentences learners get wrong and why, and a contrast with what it is confused with.
Character explorer
140 published characters, with stroke order, components and the words that contain them.
Everything, side by side
One row per capability. Where a plan has a limit, the limit is written out rather than described as “generous”.

Billing questions
Is the free plan a trial?
No. It has no end date and no card. It includes the entire reference library, 30 reviews a day, 10 tutor messages a day, the placement test, mini diagnostics in full and a preview section of every mock paper. If you never upgrade, none of that is taken away.
What exactly happens when I subscribe to Pro?
Pro is €9 a month, or €79 paid once a year — €29 less than twelve monthly payments. The daily limits are removed immediately, and full mock examinations, the whole graded-reading library and detailed analytics unlock on the account you already have.
Can I cancel, and what happens to my progress?
You can cancel at any time from Settings → Billing. The subscription stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, then the account returns to the free plan. Nothing is deleted: your decks, scheduling state, notes, recordings and examination history stay exactly as they are, and the daily limits simply apply again.
Do you offer refunds?
If you are a consumer in the EU you have a statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal on a new subscription, and we honour it without asking why. Outside that window we refund an annual subscription pro rata if the platform was unavailable for a sustained period, and we will always look at an individual case — write to us rather than filing a chargeback.
How is the schools price calculated?
Schools and agencies are billed per seat, from €4 per learner per month, with a minimum of 10 seats and volume terms above that. A seat is a learner who has been enrolled in a class; unassigning a learner frees the seat at the next billing period. Institutions are invoiced and can pay by transfer against a purchase order.
Are prices inclusive of tax?
Prices are shown in euros. Consumer prices include VAT where it applies; for business and institutional customers VAT is shown separately on the invoice and a valid EU VAT number is applied at checkout.
Do you sell learner data or run advertising?
No. There is no advertising anywhere on the platform, no advertising cookie, and no sale or sharing of personal data with third parties for marketing. The subscription is the business model; the privacy policy states exactly which processors receive data and why.
Why does this environment say payments are mocked?
Because PAYMENTS_PROVIDER is not set to “stripe”. The platform ships with a local mock payment provider that simulates checkout, the webhook and the subscription lifecycle so the whole flow can be tested without keys. No card details are requested, no card is charged, and any plan granted here exists only in this environment.
Schools & organisations
Seats are billed to the institution, not to the learner. Tell us the number of learners, the levels you teach and when your term starts, and you will get a written quotation and a pilot cohort rather than a sales sequence.
