Questions about plans and billing

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. Start a 30-day trial of the studio management tools without a credit card. A trial does not automatically enable every paid add-on. Review website and video options in Settings → Billing.

Start your free trial
Can I build a customizable studio website?

Yes. The Website/Funnel add-on costs $19/month or $190/year, in addition to your studio plan. Change colors, fonts, spacing, section order, images, and layouts; add teacher profiles, lesson pricing, booking links, group classes, FAQs, and inquiry forms. Collect inquiries in Teachstead and turn them into student records.

How much are video lessons?

The optional 1:1 Video Lessons add-on starts at $12.99/month. Solo Video, Studio Video, and Multi Video have different participant-minute and transcript allowances. Group Video Classes costs $29/month or $290/year and includes 3,000 participant-minutes per month. These are separate from the core studio plan.

View video allowances and prices
What is a participant-minute?

A participant-minute is one person connected to a video lesson for one minute. A 30-minute lesson with a teacher and one student uses about 60 participant-minutes. A 30-minute class with a teacher and four students uses about 150. Transcript allowances are listed separately.

Read the usage glossary
How do AI lesson summaries work?

Record a voice note after a lesson or use an available lesson transcript. Teachstead drafts a family-facing summary, a practice plan, and a private teacher note for review. Solo includes 10 summaries per month, Studio 50, and Multi-Teacher 150. Extra summary packs are available in Billing. Review drafts before sharing them.

Who counts as a teacher seat?

Owners and instructors count toward the teacher limit: 1 on Solo, 3 on Studio, and 10 on Multi-Teacher. Assistants who help administer the studio do not count as teaching seats.

Are there payment processing fees?

Stripe charges processing fees for card payments; rates depend on your country, payment method, and Stripe agreement. Teachstead does not add a processing markup. Recording an external payment in Teachstead does not process that payment; any fees charged by the external service still apply.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Manage your subscription from Settings → Billing. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid billing period. Website publishing and video access depend on an eligible subscription and their respective add-ons. Review the billing screen for your next renewal and cancellation status.

What happens to my data if I leave?

You can request a data export or account deletion through Teachstead support. Our privacy policy explains retention and deletion, including records that may need to be retained for legal or billing purposes.
