Frequently Asked Questions
Which tier should I choose?
Start with the free Story Map — it helps you find your best prompt. If you're writing your first essay, get Essay Plan ($9). Applying to 8+ schools? Choose All Essays ($19). Already have a draft? Get Essay Review ($19).
How is this different from ChatGPT or other AI tools?
We're the only tool that analyzes your voice authenticity — ensuring your essay sounds like YOU, not generic AI. We also detect 200+ clichés, match you with the right prompt using 6-layer analysis, and provide instant results (unlike CollegeVine's 48-hour wait).
Is this a subscription or one-time payment?
One-time payment only. Unlike Sups ($9/month) and ESAI ($9/month), you pay once and own it forever. No recurring charges, no cancellation needed.
Will colleges know I used AI?
We provide guidance, not a written essay. You write every word yourself. Our voice authenticity analysis actually helps ensure your essay sounds natural and authentic — the opposite of AI-written content.
