Pricing FAQ

Questions answered.

Everything about plans, billing, cancellation, and what's included.

What's the difference between the three plans?
All three plans unlock the same features — every CLEP® course, every readiness quiz, and the backup ACE/NCCRS credit path. The difference is billing cadence and ACE/NCCRS access window: Monthly ($29) renews each month, Semester ($69 every 3 months) is best for a focused exam cycle with 3-month ACE/NCCRS access, and Lifetime ($149 once) gives you permanent CLEP® access plus a full 12-month ACE/NCCRS window covering 70+ courses.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Monthly and Semester plans can be cancelled anytime from your account settings — cancellation stops future charges. Lifetime is a one-time payment, so there's nothing to cancel. No cancellation fees, ever.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can start a free trial to explore the platform before committing to a paid plan. Browse the course library and see how the chapter + quiz system works before you decide.
Does the exam fee come out of my subscription?
No — CLEP® exam fees are paid directly to College Board ($93 per exam as of 2026) at the testing center or via remote proctoring. Your TransferCredit subscription covers prep content and readiness quizzes only. Active-duty military can take CLEP® exams free via DANTES.
What is the backup ACE/NCCRS credit path?
If you don't pass your CLEP® exam — or aren't ready to take one yet — your subscription includes access to ACE and NCCRS-recommended self-paced courses covering the same subject. Complete the course online, earn official recommended credit, and transfer to one of 2,100+ accepting institutions. Same destination, different road.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from your account. If you upgrade from Monthly to Semester or Lifetime, the change takes effect at your next billing cycle. Email [email protected] for help with a transition.
Do I get access to future course additions?
Yes. All active subscribers — including Lifetime — get access to every new CLEP® and ACE/NCCRS course we add to the platform as part of their plan. No upgrade fees for new content.
What happens when my Lifetime ACE/NCCRS window ends?
Your CLEP® prep access stays permanent — that's the "lifetime" part. The 12-month ACE/NCCRS access is a bonus window during which you can complete and earn credit for those specific ACE/NCCRS courses. After 12 months you can re-activate ACE/NCCRS access separately if needed, but your CLEP® prep never expires.
Are there military, student, or group discounts?
Military: CLEP® exam fees are already free via DANTES — the biggest savings come from that program. Group / institutional pricing for classrooms, homeschool co-ops, or campus tutoring centers is available on request — email [email protected] with your group size.
Which plan should I pick?
Prepping for 1–2 subjects in the next month? Go Monthly. Planning a serious exam push with 5+ subjects over a term? Semester gives you the best per-month value. Building credit long-term (multiple semesters, degree-by-exam path, homeschool curriculum)? Lifetime pays for itself after about 5 months versus Monthly.
What's your refund policy?
All subscriptions and Lifetime purchases are non-refundable. You can cancel Monthly or Semester plans anytime to stop future charges — but already-paid periods are not refunded. We strongly encourage using the free trial to explore the platform before purchasing. For billing disputes or technical issues preventing access, email [email protected].
Is my credit really guaranteed?
Your path to credit is guaranteed — not a specific grade. If you prep with us, you'll walk in exam-ready (per your readiness score). If exam day doesn't go your way, the backup ACE/NCCRS credit path is already included in your plan. ACE and NCCRS credit acceptance is determined solely by the receiving institution — always verify with your Registrar.
How does billing work?
Monthly: charged every 30 days from signup. Semester: charged every 90 days. Lifetime: one payment, no further charges ever. All payments are processed securely through Thinkific's platform. You can update your payment method or cancel recurring plans in your account dashboard.
