How credits work

A credit is a word practised. Credits pay for the practice itself; looking at how your child is doing is always free.

This is what's coming. Right now every account still runs on the current 100 credits a month, which renews automatically - nothing changes for you yet.

200 creditsfree when you join

That is about 100 practice words - a couple of weeks of typical practice, or a term for a family who dips in now and then. They stay live as long as your child keeps practising; they lapse after 90 days without a session.

What costs credits

Activity Credits

Practice is charged when a session starts, for the words queued. Stop early and the words you never reached are refunded. A child is never stopped mid-word.

What's free

Packs are coming

200 creditsfor £4

Bought on this website, used anywhere you sign in - phone, tablet or laptop. No subscription, no card on file, nothing that renews. A pack is good for 12 months from the day you buy it; a code from a tutor or a partner is good for 90 days. Your oldest credits are always used first.

We haven't switched packs on yet. If you'd buy one when they're ready, tell us - it's the quickest way to make sure we build the right thing.

Who pays

Credits come from the account that added the child. If a tutor set your child up on their account, their tutor allowance covers the practice; if you added your child, your household's credits do. Tutor accounts get a free monthly allowance, and tutors can hand out codes to the families they work with - enter one under Manage settings in the app.

Have a code? Open the app, go to Manage settings and enter it under Credits & codes. Questions? Get in touch.
