Standard or Plus?
Both plans open the same notes and practice questions. The difference today is the study assistant: Plus allows 100 questions a day against 30 on Standard. If you mostly read the notes and check the odd fact, Standard is enough. If you question the notes as you go, Plus gives you room. Topic videos will join Plus when they are ready.
Questions about plans
Can I pay for a plan today?
Not yet. Payments open at launch, and there is no checkout on the site until then. For now, free trials go to invited beta testers, and no card is taken for those. You can create an account now and use the parts of the site that are open to everyone.
What happens when my free trial ends?
During the beta no card is taken, so nothing is ever charged. When your trial ends, the study assistant stops and you need a paid plan to keep using it. Once trials need a card, this changes. Before you start a trial, we will tell you clearly whether and when you will be charged, and how to cancel before that. Our Terms will say the same.
How do the study assistant limits work?
The free trial includes 5 questions in total, not per day. Standard allows 10 questions an hour and up to 30 a day. Plus allows 20 an hour and up to 100 a day.
The hour and the day are counted back from now, so they roll forward rather than reset at midnight. When you reach a limit, the assistant tells you how long to wait. A question that fails because of an error on our side is not counted. At very busy times the assistant can also pause for everyone for a short while.
Why are prices in rand?
Most students using Knotes are in South Africa, so rand is the main price. The US dollar amounts are approximate, for students paying from Zimbabwe or elsewhere. The final price, in the currency you pay in, is confirmed at checkout.
How much does paying yearly save?
A year costs 15% less than twelve monthly payments. Standard is R2,029.80 a year instead of R2,388. Plus is R3,049.80 a year instead of R3,588.
Are the videos included?
Not yet. Short topic videos are planned for Plus and are marked “Coming soon” on the cards. Nothing on either plan today depends on them.
Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Cancelling and your cooling-off rights are set out in our Terms.
Can I get a refund?
Nobody is charged until payments open, so there is nothing to refund yet. Once they open, our Refund Policy explains when you can get money back and how to ask.
