TL;DR: LearnSpark uses a $29 monthly plan plus SparkAI credits to power your lessons and tracking. You only pay for what you use, and you can add 150 extra credits for just $10 whenever you need them.
LearnSpark is designed to be affordable and flexible. Instead of expensive "one-size-fits-all" plans, we use a model that grows with you. This combines a simple monthly subscription with SparkAI credits so you only pay for the specific educational work performed for your family.
All payments and plan changes are handled safely through Stripe. Whether you are teaching one child or running a large tutoring group, there is a perfect fit for your LearnSpark experience.
Choosing Your Plan
We offer different options to fit your homeschooling goals:
Basic User Account ($29/month): This is our most popular choice! It is perfect for 1–2 students with average usage. It includes all core features and a set amount of monthly credits.
Free Tier: You can explore the platform with a small number of monthly generations to see how it feels.
Agencies & Organizations: For tutoring businesses, we offer a base fee plus per-student pricing. This lets you manage many tutors and students from one central dashboard.
How SparkAI Credits Power Your Experience
SparkAI credits are the "fuel" for your LearnSpark experience. These credits cover tasks that would normally take hours of manual effort. SparkAI is constantly working in the background to keep your student’s data accurate.
Your credits are used for:
Lessons & Projects: Creating, regenerating, or customizing one-off Lessons and multi-session Projects.
Student Mastery Profiles: Every time you provide feedback, SparkAI updates the student’s profile. This includes deep tasks like skills decomposition and standards mapping.
Adventures: Discovering local activities tailored to your values and refreshing your schedule as seasons change.
Gap Analysis: When you upload custom Curriculums, SparkAI looks for missing pieces and maps them to your student's progress.
Reporting & Performance: Creating PDF reports for compliance and updating the Learning Journey planner.
💡 Good to know: Detailed Student Profiles help SparkAI get things right the first time. This means you won't need to "Regenerate" as often, making your credits last longer!
Adding Extra Credits
If you have a large family or use the platform a lot, you might need more than the basic monthly amount. You can buy Credit Top-Up Packs of 150 extra credits for $10 at any time.
Go to your Billing or Subscription page in the dashboard.
Click the Buy Top-Up or Add Credits button.
Confirm your purchase. Your credits will appear in your balance immediately!
It is important to understand which credits stay in your account:
Monthly Credits: These refresh every month. They do not roll over, so be sure to use them!
Top-Up Credits: Credits you buy in $10 packs stay in your "bank" until you use them. They don't expire at the end of the month.
Trial Bonus: If you add a payment method during your trial, we give you 75 bonus rollover credits that never expire as long as your account is active.
Flexible Billing
Life moves fast, and your needs might change. LearnSpark uses "pro-rated" billing to keep things fair.
Upgrading: If you move to a higher plan mid-month, the change happens immediately. You only pay the difference for the rest of the month.
Downgrading: If you scale back, the "extra" money you already paid is turned into a billing credit. This credit is automatically applied to your next monthly invoice to make it cheaper!
⚠️ Heads up: If you get close to your credit limit, LearnSpark will show a prompt. This ensures your SparkAI tasks and reports aren't interrupted.
