Our pricing promise
We will never charge a family for the core planning tools their student needs to leave high school with a real plan. If a feature ever moves from free to paid, you'll get at least 60 days' notice and a clear free path forward. No dark patterns. No hostage data.
Questions families and districts ask us most
Don't see your question? Ask us directly — a real person answers within two business days.
- Is the pilot really free for families?
- Yes — completely free. No credit card, no trial countdown. In exchange we ask for honest feedback so we build what you actually need. If we add premium features after the pilot, you'll know exactly what's free and what isn't before anything changes.
- What does a district plan actually cost?
- District pricing is based on the number of students on transition caseloads — not number of teachers, not number of buildings. Most Connecticut districts land between $4–$9 per student per year. Smaller pilots (one or two schools) start lower. We'll send a written quote within two business days.
- Will my district need a Data Privacy Agreement?
- Yes — and we have one ready. We sign student data privacy agreements (including the Connecticut SDPA), a FERPA-aligned BAA, and standard insurance docs. We never sell data, never train AI models on student records, and never share information with marketers.
- What happens when the pilot ends?
- Pilot families and educators keep their accounts and their data. Anything that becomes paid will be clearly labeled, and you'll get at least 60 days' notice with a free tier that stays useful — not a downgrade trap.
- Can a parent pay for it themselves if my district isn't ready?
- Yes. The Family Pilot is free today, and a low-cost individual family plan will be available after the pilot for families whose schools haven't joined yet. You'll never need a district account to use TransitionForward.
- Do you offer scholarships?
- Yes. If cost is ever a barrier — for a family, a teacher, or a small program — email [email protected]. We'll figure it out together. No paperwork gymnastics.
