Free vs Pro: Which StudyPal AI Plan Is Right for You?
Share
You’ve seen StudyPal AI around and you’re thinking:
“Should I just stay on the Free plan… or is Pro actually worth it?”
Fair question – especially when you’re a student trying to stretch every Rand.
In this post, we’ll break down the difference between StudyPal Basic, Pro Monthly (R149.95) and Pro Yearly (R1,499.95) so you can choose the plan that actually fits your studies and your budget.
StudyPal Basic – for quick help and light users
The Free plan is perfect if you:
-
just want fast text help now and then,
-
are testing whether StudyPal fits your study style, or
-
don’t have the budget for a subscription yet.
What you get on Free:
-
WhatsApp-based chat with Cherry (your AI study pal)
-
Clear text explanations of concepts
-
Short summaries of your notes
-
Basic quizzes and practice questions
-
Student-friendly responses under a tight word limit (so it stays quick and low-data)
Best for:
First-time users, high-school learners, or students who only need light help during the week.
StudyPal Pro Monthly – for active students & exam seasons
Price: R149.95 per month
Best for: students in busy semesters, varsity exams, or anyone using StudyPal multiple times a day.
When you upgrade to Pro Monthly, you unlock the full StudyPal experience:
1. Media support: voice, images & PDFs
You can:
-
send voice notes,
-
upload PDFs or assignments,
-
snap photos of handwritten notes or textbook pages,
and Cherry will:
-
summarise them,
-
explain tricky parts,
-
pull out key formulas, definitions and exam-style questions.
No more retyping everything. Just capture → send → get structured help.
2. Deeper, step-by-step answers
Pro users get:
-
longer, more detailed explanations,
-
step-by-step solutions for maths, stats, and problem-solving questions,
-
structured essay outlines and argument breakdowns.
Instead of a quick paragraph, you get something closer to a mini lesson in your WhatsApp chat.
3. Audio replies (where supported)
Prefer listening while walking or commuting?
StudyPal Pro can provide audio-style responses so you can revise with your ears, not just your eyes. Perfect for tired nights or morning taxis.
4. Smart study plans & tracking
Ask Pro to:
-
build week-by-week revision schedules,
-
generate topic checklists,
-
track themes you’re struggling with and focus your practice questions there.
Pro isn’t just about longer answers – it’s about simplifying your whole study system.
StudyPal Pro Yearly – for serious long-term savings
Price: R1,499.95 per year
If you know you’ll be studying for the whole year (hello varsity, colleges, distance learning), Pro Yearly gives you:
-
everything in Pro Monthly,
-
for 12 months straight,
-
at a discount vs paying month-to-month.
It basically works out to paying for roughly 10 months and getting the rest free, depending on promos.
Best for:
-
First-year students settling into a full year of modules
-
Final-year students with back-to-back assessments
-
Anyone who loves the tool and wants the cheapest long-term option
