The real questions.
Is signing up really free?+
Yes — Explorer is free forever. No credit card to create an account, look around, meet Ollie, and preview your top matches. You only enter payment details when you're ready to upgrade to Premium or Qoollege+.
How is Premium billed?+
Three ways. Monthly at $89.99, renews every month and you can cancel anytime. Yearly at $999. Or a multi-year package: 2 years for $1,499, 3 years for $2,249, or 4 years for $2,999, each one payment that saves 25% compared to paying year by year.
Which plan should I pick?+
Any student can buy any plan. Monthly is the easy way to try Premium. Yearly is cheaper per month. If you know you want Premium through graduation, a multi-year package is one payment and saves 25%. You can always start with Explorer and upgrade later.
Why isn't the full product free?+
Honestly, Ollie is expensive to run and our scholarship database costs real money to maintain. We'd rather charge a fair, transparent price than sell your data or run ads at high schoolers. Premium is a fraction of a single private tutoring session per month.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yep. One click. No retention emails, no "are you sure?" loops. You drop back to Explorer and your data stays with you.
What's the difference between Premium and Qoollege+?+
Premium gives you the full AI-powered platform — unlimited Ollie, scholarship finder, essay coaching, test prep, the works. Qoollege+ layers a dedicated human counselor on top, ideal for families targeting selective schools, navigating athlete recruiting, or applying internationally.
Can I upgrade later?+
Anytime. We prorate. Many families start on Explorer in junior year, move to Premium once applications heat up, and add Qoollege+ when they want a human in the loop.
What if I can't afford a paid plan?+
Email info@qoollege.com. We have a sponsorship program funded by alums and partner schools that covers full Premium access for students who need it. Nobody gets turned away because of cost.
