The model

Pay it forward, built in.

Part of every Pro subscription subsidises a Free student — and NSFAS-eligible students get Pro for nothing. The students who can pay keep it free for the students who can't. That's the whole idea.

02Questions, answered

Yes. Every student — matric, adult returner or postgraduate — gets the core platform: the programme explorer, funding matching, the career explorer and an application tracker. Free, forever. No card, no expiry.

Two ways, in rand via Paystack: R49.99 / month, or the Season Pass (R249 once — whole season). Cancel the monthly plan anytime — access runs to the end of the period you paid for.

No. Pro is free for NSFAS-eligible households — annual household income under R 350 000 (or under R 600 000 if you have a disability). We already ask for your income band at sign-up, so the subsidy is automatic — you never apply for it.

If you only need Pro for the busy application months, the Season Pass (R249 once — whole season) is the cheaper, simpler choice. The monthly plan suits you if you want to start and stop as you go.

Free shows you a real taste — your top 3 funding matches and up to 6 tracked applications. Pro unlocks every match scored to you, unlimited applications, the document vault, personalised recommendations and a 1-on-1 onboarding advisor.
