Pricing
Free where it should be free.
Tracking your assignments is not a premium feature. Neither is getting your data back out, and neither is an import that refuses to duplicate your deadlines — that is correctness, and correctness is not an upsell. What costs money is the work that happens while you are not looking: reminders that fire on time, and a history you can reach back into.
Tracker
Forever. No account required.
- The whole tracker: table, calendar, list and board views
- Unlimited courses and assignments
- Update imports with a full change preview, so re-importing never duplicates
- Undoing your most recent import
- CSV and .ics export — your data leaves whenever you want
- No cap on tasks, courses or terms
Automation — free during beta
Reminders, the live calendar feed and history restore are free while payments are being set up. Planned price after beta: US$5/month. No card required. You will never be charged automatically, and you get at least 30 days’ notice before free beta access ends.
- Scheduled email reminders, daily or weekly, in your timezone
- Full change history — restore any single edit, or undo any past import
- Reminder digests that link straight back to the assignment
- A live calendar feed for Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar, with phone alerts
- Everything in the free tracker, unchanged
Signed in, you can ask to be emailed when the $5/month plan opens. That is a notification, not a purchase.
No annual plan yet. Paying twelve months up front for software that has not proved it keeps working for a whole term is a bad deal for you, so we are not selling one.
What cancelling does
Nothing you made goes away.
| After you cancel | Still works | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Your assignments and classes | Yes | Untouched. Nothing is deleted or hidden. |
| Table, calendar, list and board views | Yes | The whole tracker stays available. |
| CSV and .ics export | Yes | Export is never gated. Take your data whenever. |
| Update imports with a change preview | Yes | Diffing is correctness, not a premium feature. It never goes away. |
| Undoing your most recent import | Yes | The escape hatch from a bad paste is always free. |
| Scheduled email reminders | No | They stop at the end of the paid period. |
| Live calendar feed | No | Subscribed calendars stop updating. The one-off .ics download stays free. |
| Restore from further back in history | No | History is still recorded and visible — restoring old changes is the paid part. |
Questions
Why $5?
It is the number we are testing, openly. Comparable tools sit between $3 and $10 a month. If it turns out students will not pay $5 for reminders and deep history, the right conclusion is that this should not be a subscription — not that the price should be hidden behind a trial funnel.
Why is Automation free right now?
Payments are still being set up, and nobody should be shown a price they cannot pay. Until then reminders, the calendar feed and history restore are free for every account. When the paid plan opens, everyone who used Automation during the beta gets at least 30 days' notice by email, and nobody is charged without going through checkout themselves.
Why is re-import diffing free when it is the hardest part to build?
Because the alternative is a free user pasting an updated sheet and getting every deadline twice. That is worse than the spreadsheet they arrived with, and it would make the free tier untrustworthy — which is the tier almost everyone will judge this on. Correctness is not a lever to price against.
Is there a student discount?
Everyone here is a student. A discount off a $5 price would be theatre.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. Email reply@studyrows.com within 30 days of a charge and it is refunded, no questions. The full policy is on the refunds page.
Who can use StudyRows?
It is built for university and college students, and you need to be 18 or older to use it. See the terms.
Will the free tier get worse later?
The four things listed as free forever are a commitment: the full tracker, unlimited items, all four views and both exports. If that changes, existing accounts keep what they signed up with.
What happens to my data if the product shuts down?
You would get notice and an export. This is a small product with a real chance of not working out; the export being free and complete from day one is the practical protection against that.
