Subscription Plans
Understand the available Academly plans, billing periods and Student Point entitlements.
Academly offers different plans based on how extensively you want to use the platform. Paid subscriptions are available with monthly or annual billing.
What this section is about
Your plan determines your monthly Student Point entitlement and some platform limits. This section explains the main differences between Free, Pro, Author and the limited Lifetime option.
Available plans
- Free: Includes 140 Student Points once so you can try core Academly tools.
- Pro: Includes up to 2,000 Student Points per monthly entitlement and is available with monthly or annual billing.
- Author: Includes up to 4,000 Student Points per monthly entitlement and is available with monthly or annual billing.
- Lifetime: A limited option for eligible early users. It provides an Author-level Student Point entitlement of up to 4,000 SP per month without a recurring subscription payment.
Monthly and annual subscriptions
Pro and Author can be purchased with monthly or annual billing. The billing interval determines how often you are charged, while Student Points continue to follow their monthly entitlement cycle.
How Student Point refills work
Student Points refill up to the limit of your plan. The full monthly amount is not added on top of an existing balance.
Example
If a Pro user has 1,860 SP remaining when the next refill is due, 140 SP are added to bring the balance back to the 2,000 SP plan limit.

Downgrades and cancellations
Some subscription changes take effect at the end of the current billing period. A cancellation changes the account to Free when the paid subscription ends. Student Points already remaining on the account are not deducted simply because the subscription is cancelled.
Lifetime availability
Lifetime is not a standard recurring subscription and may only be available to a limited group of eligible early users. Lifetime purchases are not managed through the recurring subscription portal.
