Yes, you can use StudyBuddy for free. Here's exactly what the free version includes, how the free trial works, and what StudyBuddy+ adds if you want more.

What's free

Every week, a free account gets a set number of:

  • QuickFire quizzes

  • FlipSide flashcard sessions

  • BuddyCast audio lessons

  • Practice papers

  • Games

  • Ask Buddy messages

Parent accounts are free too, and every parent sees each child's weekly summary.

A free week of StudyBuddy+

Every new account gets 7 days of StudyBuddy+ free, automatically, with no credit card needed. When the 7 days end, nothing is charged: you carry on with the free version, or choose StudyBuddy+.

What StudyBuddy+ adds

  • No weekly limits on quizzes, flashcards, games, BuddyCasts and Ask Buddy.

  • The full parent report, with score trends, weak topics and paper history.

  • A Family plan that covers a parent and up to three children.

How paying works

  • You pay once for the time you choose. StudyBuddy+ never renews or charges you again by itself.

  • Pay by card, MMG or bank transfer.

  • If you're not happy, ask within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund, no reason needed.

Prices are on the StudyBuddy+ page, with what each plan works out to per month.
