All prices in USD. "Active student" = enrolled with a lesson in the last 30 days; paused & archived students never count toward your cap. Need more than one extra teacher? Add seats for $8/teacher/mo. Integrated payments carry a simple 0.75% fee (plus Stripe's standard processing) — absorb it or pass it to families, your choice.

Questions

Pricing, answered.

Do you charge per student?
No. Methodica is one flat price per studio. Each plan includes an active-student cap, but we never bill per head. An active student is one with a lesson in the last 30 days — paused and archived students never count.
Is there really no credit card required for the trial?
Correct. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial and no credit card. You only add a card if you decide to keep going.
How does Methodica handle payments and fees?
Payments are built right in through Stripe — there's no separate gateway to set up. Methodica adds a simple 0.75% fee on payments processed through the platform (lower than some competitors charge), and you choose whether to absorb it or pass it through to families from your billing settings. Stripe's standard processing fees are separate. That's the whole story — no hidden per-transaction games.
Can I switch plans or cancel anytime?
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel from your billing settings at any time. Annual plans give you two months free versus paying monthly.
Can I move my data from My Music Staff?
Yes. Every plan includes guided import from My Music Staff so your students, families, and schedule come across in minutes. Academy adds white-glove migration where our team does it for you.
Is gamification only on the higher tiers?
No — the full practice arcade (9 games plus XP, streaks, quests and the progress map) and the student and parent apps are included in every plan, including Solo. Higher tiers add scale and business-growth tools, never the core learner experience.
What if we don't want games?
Then turn them off — one switch in studio settings disables the entire game layer for your studio. Students keep a clean, mobile-first studio app: scheduling, practice log, materials, messaging, and billing. Gamification is an optional layer on Methodica, never a requirement.
What happens when I outgrow my student cap?
We'll let you know as you approach the limit and make it one click to move up a tier. You'll never be cut off mid-term or surprised by an overage bill.
