Pricing
The first full review is free. Then credits, never a subscription.
Your first review costs nothing and takes no card: every reviewer’s score and category marks, the consensus, the panel’s call and the full written report with the revision directions. After that, credits come in one-time packs. One credit covers one panel action, a new essay or a revision round of one you have already submitted, and credits never expire. A failed run refunds its credit automatically.

What a season costs
A list of ten schools is one personal statement and, at most schools, one or two supplements each. Counting one credit per essay, ten essays is 10 credits, which the 20 credits pack covers for $49. A revision round on any of them is one more credit. Most students spend fewer credits than that, because the supplements that reuse a core draft get reviewed once.
Against the alternatives
Private essay coaching runs $1,500 to $5,000 per student, according to industry pricing guides, and an individual essay coach averages $279 an hour, according to a 2026 industry pricing report. Every pack above costs less than one of those hours. The comparison is not that the panel replaces a coach: a coach sells strategy and knows what you left out, and the guide comparing the two says so. It is that a second, third and fourth read of a draft no longer has to cost an hour each.

Paying for a student
Accounts are opened by adults, 18 or older; a student aged 13 to 17 uses the panel through a parent or guardian’s account. A student with their own account can also send a parent a private payment link, so the parent pays for credits without signing up. The parent page explains how a review works when a parent runs it, and the terms carry the refund and credit rules in full.
