On Saturday, January 18, 2025, the free plan will change to introduce some limits. If you use Spelling Test Buddy in your classroom, consider upgrading today to unlock these limits.
What are the new plans?
I introduced three plans for Teacher Edition this week for new users:
- Basic (free): a free plan to let you try out Spelling Test Buddy. This is what you are on today if you haven’t already purchased.
- Teacher: for teachers managing a classroom
- School: for entire schools, with up to 30 teachers
Here is a comparison between Basic (free) and Teacher plans.

The School plan offers everything the Teacher plan does, but supports up to 30 teachers and unlimited students. It is currently on sale for USD $299/year (regular price $599/year!), and is meant for school administrators who wish to purchase Spelling Test Buddy for their school.
