Credits & Pricing FAQ
How AI credits work
Credits are your AI coaching time. Each conversation with Sophie uses a small number from your balance. Active learners earn enough through daily use that most never need to buy more — and PRO lifetime members own their course content forever regardless of their credit balance.
How AI Credits Work
What are credits and what does each feature cost?+
What does a typical lesson day cost?+
A typical lesson day includes around 4 speaking drills (16 credits) and 8 coach chat turns (24 credits) — roughly 40 credits in total. Optional extras like a Fluency Snapshot (15 credits) can be added on top.
Earning Credits for Free
How do I earn free credits every day?+
Two rewards run automatically every day you engage: • Visit the app: +20 credits • Complete all steps of a lesson day: +80 credits That's up to +100 credits per active day — more than enough to cover a typical lesson.
Are there streak bonuses?+
Yes. Maintaining a consistent streak earns bonus credits on top of your daily rewards: • 7-day streak: +10 credits • 14-day streak: +20 credits • 30-day streak: +50 credits Streak bonuses reward long-term consistency and add up meaningfully over the course of the programme.
How much do I earn versus spend on a typical active day?+
Earn up to +100 credits (daily visit + lesson completion). Spend ~40 credits (prescribed drills + coach chat). Net result: +60 credits every day you complete your lesson. Active learners accumulate credits over the course of the programme.
PRO Lifetime Plan
What does "lifetime" mean exactly?+
Lifetime means permanent access to all 100 lesson days and any future courses we release. You will never pay for course content again — lesson updates, new advanced days, and future modules are all included. The AI coaching credit economy is a separate layer: you earn credits daily through the programme and can buy top-up packs if you want more intensive practice beyond what you earn. Lifetime is about the course content, not an unlimited AI budget.
How many credits does a PRO member receive?+
You receive 300 credits upfront on joining — enough for your first week before the daily earning rhythm kicks in. From day one you earn up to +100 credits per active day (visit + lesson completion). The full 100-day programme requires around 4,000 credits. Your starter grant plus daily earnings covers this comfortably if you engage consistently.
Is there a limit to how many reward credits I can earn?+
PRO members can accumulate up to 10,000 reward credits in total. This is enough for the full programme several times over, plus substantial ongoing Conversation Club and coaching practice after graduation. Once this limit is reached, daily rewards pause — but any credits already in your account are yours to use at any time. Top-up packs are available at the same prices as regular members when you want more coaching time.
What if I take a long break and come back?+
Unspent credits never expire. Your balance is exactly as you left it whenever you return. If you've worked through your credits and want to continue, buy a top-up pack to carry on.
Full Monthly Plan
How do credits work on the Full plan?+
Each billing cycle starts with 300 monthly credits. By completing lesson days and visiting daily you can earn up to 200 additional reward credits — giving you a maximum of 500 credits per month. An engaged learner who completes just 2 lesson days per month reaches the 500-credit cap. Someone who logs in every day earns credits well beyond their day's spend and always has a healthy buffer.
Why do monthly credits reset at the end of each billing cycle?+
Because the programme is designed around daily engagement. Active learners earn more credits each month than they spend — unused monthly credits are a sign of lower engagement, not lost value. The reset ensures your subscription always restarts with a fresh 300-credit buffer so you're never caught with nothing at the start of a new cycle.
Top-Up Packs
When would I need to buy a top-up?+
Top-ups are for learners who want more AI coaching time than their plan provides — for example: • Extra Fluency Snapshots beyond the one in your lesson day • Extended conversation practice sessions • Intensive coaching beyond the daily prescribed programme • Reviewing submitted work in more detail Most learners on the Full plan never need to top up if they complete their lessons consistently.
Do top-up credits expire?+
No. Top-up credits stay in your account indefinitely and are never reset at billing cycle end. They're also used last — after monthly and reward credits — so they're always there as a backup.
Can I buy a top-up on the PRO lifetime plan?+
Yes. Top-up packs are available to all members regardless of plan, at the same prices. They're especially useful for PRO members who have worked through their earned rewards and want more AI coaching time.
