Frequently Asked Questions
// Is the free tier actually free, or is there a catch?
It is genuinely free. The core tools — flashcards, Pomodoro, blurting, and MCQ diagnostics — are free forever with no credit card required. The free tier exists because we believe students should not have to pay to access effective revision tools.
// Why does Pro cost money?
The AI study planning feature (Mission Architect) uses Google Gemini, which has real API costs. Pro pays for the AI infrastructure and supports continued development of the platform.
// How does the one-time pack system work?
You pay once and Pro is activated for the duration of your pack — 30, 90, or 365 days. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no surprise charges. When your pack expires your account returns to Free and you can top up again whenever you want.
// What does the School License cover exactly?
One School License covers your entire institution — all students, all teachers, no per-head fees. You get everything in Pro plus the Teacher Dashboard, which shows you each student's study habits, streaks, and rank progression without requiring student login access.
// How do I get an invoice for my school's finance department?
Email us at admin@shiftglitch.com with your school name and address. We will send a formal invoice. Most schools process payment within 5–10 working days.
// Can I try the app before paying for anything?
Yes. The demo at /demo lets you explore all the core tools without creating an account. The Teacher Dashboard at /teacher can be accessed with any student data export — no login required.
