Join Free During Early Access

To put this in perspective: a single session with a private college counselor typically costs $150–300. Hedge at $49/year is less than 20 minutes of that time — and it's working for your student every single day, capturing moments as they happen, so those counselor sessions go further.

Pricing questions

Founding Members pay $129 once and get Hedge for life — every feature, every future update, no annual renewal ever. Early access remains free, so your $129 activates when the full product launches. It's our way of rewarding the people who believed in Hedge before it was finished. This offer closes at launch.
Exactly right — that's the point. Monthly works out to $71.88/year, so the annual plan saves you $22.88. We price monthly slightly higher to make the annual plan the obvious smart choice for anyone planning to use Hedge for a full school year, which most students do.
Yes, completely. During early access, Hedge is free — no credit card required, no commitment. We'll give you at least 30 days notice before any charges begin, and early access families will be offered a discounted rate when we launch.
Your story belongs to you. Before canceling, you can export everything — captured moments, reflections, essay drafts — in a standard format. We will never hold your content hostage. Founding Members keep full access forever regardless.
Not yet, but it's on our roadmap. If you have multiple students and need a family plan now, email us at hello@hedgestory.ai and we'll work something out for early access families.
Yes. If you're not satisfied within the first 14 days of being charged for a subscription, we'll issue a full refund — no questions asked. For the Founding Member one-time payment, we offer a 30-day refund window after the product launches.
