Fair questions

How accurate are the admit estimates?+
Planning signals, not predictions — anchored to each school's published rate, moved point by point, shown as an honest range. At 42 of the top 50 publics the rate is split in-state from out-of-state, from the school's own Common Data Set; everywhere else the plan says plainly that the published rate blends both.
Where do the prices come from?+
Federal reporting — colleges report average net price by income band. Share your band once; every school shows that number, labeled with its source.
We make too much for financial aid — is this still useful?+
It was built by a parent in exactly that spot. Above $110k the discounts mostly disappear — and the app says so to your face, school by school. What you get instead: merit likelihood (income-blind), the four-year gap between your comfort line and each school's real total, and the monthly payment that gap implies. The full answer, with numbers →
Why isn't it free, like Niche or CollegeVine?+
Because free tools are paid by colleges recruiting your student — Niche sells colleges Premium Profiles, CollegeVine partners with colleges that pay to reach students, and Appily states in its own footer that it is a data broker. All useful; none of them answer to you. Our entire business is the $99, so the numbers do.
Is my student's information sold or shared?+
Never. No college pays us for placement, recruitment, or data. The award letters you upload in spring are decoded in your browser and never leave your device.
