Pricing
Sholix is free for light use and fully unlocked inside the $99 Empowered Founders bundle. We do not sell anything in between, because a middle tier only exists to make the top one look reasonable.
Get started, no card required.
$0/month
Free forever. Not a trial.
Everything in Sholix, plus every other product in the bundle.
$99/month
Cancel any time. Extra seats $19 each.
The one metered thing
Hosting a game, adding players, running assignments and exporting reports all cost us compute we pay for regardless. Charging per use would be a pricing tactic, not cost recovery, so those are unlimited.
AI quiz generation is different: every generation spends provider tokens billed to us per request. The bundle includes an allowance sized so ordinary use never reaches it. If you do reach it, we will tell you rather than quietly stopping or quietly charging.
Where the bundle price comes from
Sholix is one product in the Empowered Founders bundle. The bundle price does not change when a product is added to it, and existing customers are not re-priced when it does.
01
Per-host pricing is why a colleague covering your session costs money elsewhere. Here it does not. Seats past 5 are $19 each.
02
Everything Sholix can do is on the bundle. There is no capability held back for a tier that does not exist.
03
Export before you go. You drop back to the free tier rather than losing access to what you made.
For comparison
Read from each vendor's own pricing page, with the date we checked. Follow the links and hold us to it.
No. Players join from any phone, tablet or computer browser with a game PIN. Nothing to install, no account to create.
No limit. Hosting a game costs us compute we already pay for whether you use it or not, so charging per person would be a pricing decision rather than a cost one.
Three quizzes, 20 players a game, one workspace, and self-study. It does not expire and we do not ask for a card. The AI generator, reports and assignments are the parts that need the bundle.
Yes. Up to 8 teams pool their points, with the leaderboard scored by team rather than by player. Team mode is part of the bundle rather than a paid add-on; the free tier runs classic games only.
Because it is the one thing that costs real money per use. Every generation spends provider tokens. The bundle allowance is sized so normal use never reaches it, and we would rather say that than pretend the cost does not exist.
You export it, including reports, and we delete what is left when you ask. Export is not a paid feature and never becomes one.
The free tier is enough to run a real quiz and decide for yourself.
