Current Prices
Prices, the annual discount, and any promotions are shown on the Billing page in your parent account. That page and your Stripe checkout are the source of truth for what you will pay. Prices are not listed here so this article never shows an outdated amount.
How Tutoring Time Is Counted
- Session and daily limits count active learning time. If your child stops for a while, only a short part of the idle time counts toward the limit.
- Daily limits apply to each child separately.
- Daily and weekly limits reset on a UTC schedule, so in some time zones the reset happens in the evening or overnight rather than at local midnight.
- You can see today's tutoring time and this week's sessions on the Billing page.
When a limit is reached, your child sees a message explaining it. They can start a new session later, within your plan's weekly and daily limits.
Free Plan
Best for trying Aletheia. You get one child profile, 3 short tutoring sessions per week, and basic tutoring. No credit card is required to start.
Starter Plan
Best for one child who will use Aletheia regularly. Starter includes unlimited sessions for one active child, plus Homework Helper and weekly reports.
Family Plan
Best for families with more than one child. Family supports up to 5 active child profiles and adds the Family Leaderboard and Privacy Shield.
Family+ Plan
Best for larger families or homeschool-style households. Family+ supports up to 10 active child profiles, sessions up to 60 minutes, and up to 4 hours of tutoring per child per day.
If you need more than 10 active children, contact support. Support can review extra child seats for your family. Please don't create extra parent accounts to get around the limit.
Note: Some plan listings mention extras such as advanced analytics, priority support, or early access. These aren't available as separate features yet. If you have questions about what a plan includes, contact support.
Active vs. Archived Children
Plan limits count active child profiles. Archived children do not use a seat, and their data is kept so you can restore them later.
If you cannot add another child, you have probably reached your plan's active child limit. Archive an inactive profile or upgrade.
If your family ever has more active children than your plan allows (for example, after a plan ends or a co-parent joins with their own children), tutoring pauses for every child until you upgrade or archive profiles to get back within the limit.
Monthly and Annual Billing
Paid plans can be billed monthly or annually. Use the Monthly / Annual switch on the Billing page to compare. Your current billing cycle is shown on the Billing page.
How to Upgrade
- Sign in to your parent account.
- Go to Billing.
- Choose Monthly or Annual, then select Upgrade on the plan you want.
- Review the Confirm billing change summary.
- Continue to Stripe to review the charge and confirm. You can apply an available promo code there.
Upgrades take effect once Stripe confirms the change.
Note: Only the parent who owns the account can change the plan or billing. Co-parents can view the family but can't manage billing.
How to Downgrade or Cancel
- Downgrade: On the Billing page, select Downgrade on the lower plan and confirm with Schedule Change. There is no charge that day. Your current plan stays active until the end of the billing period, and then the new plan starts.
- Cancel: Select Cancel Subscription. You keep your current plan until the end of the billing period, and then your family moves to the Free plan.
If a lower plan has fewer child seats, Aletheia asks you to archive extra profiles before you downgrade. Downgrading or canceling does not delete child data.
While a change is scheduled, other plan buttons show Change Locked. To undo it, select Cancel Scheduled Change (or Keep Subscription for a cancellation).
Plan Changes, Proration, and Payment Confirmation
Stripe handles proration, invoices, payment authentication, and saved payment methods. Before you confirm, Aletheia and Stripe show the estimated charge or the date the change takes effect.
Billing Questions
See Billing Questions & Issues, or contact support for plan, invoice, or refund help.
COPPA note: Aletheia never charges children directly. Billing is controlled through the parent account only.
