FAQ

Common pricing questions.

Is it really free for small operations?
Yes. If you have 30 or fewer new registered students in a calendar month, you pay $0 in per-student fees. You only pay the $1 per-payment fee on payments students make online. Manual or in-person payments have no CertClass fee.
How does the per-student fee work after I exceed 30?
Once you have 31 or more new registered students in a calendar month, every registration that month is $0.33 each. Example: 50 new students = 50 × $0.33 = $16.50. The free tier resets at the start of each month.
What about Stripe’s processing fees?
Stripe charges its standard processing fees (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) separately. Our $1.00 per-payment fee is in addition. You connect your own Stripe account, and money flows directly to your bank.
Do I have to use SMS?
No. SMS is completely optional at $0.03 per message. Email notifications are always free and unlimited. Many customers run their entire communications on email only.
Are all features really included on every plan?
Yes. Custom branding, certification expiration tracking, document storage, the embeddable widget, instructor logins, multi-session classes — everything is included for everyone. There are no upgrade tiers and no locked features.
