Free vs. Pro: what you get
What the free tier includes, what Pro unlocks, and what it costs.
Updated August 5, 2026 · 1 min read
Blueprint's free tier is a real tool, not a trial. You can run your whole application season on it. Pro raises the limits and adds the heavier AI features.

- Tracking for up to 5 colleges on Your list (schools the Matchmaker seeds for you do not count against the cap)

What Pro costs
Pro is US$249 for your whole application cycle, paid once, with nothing to renew and nothing to cancel. Your access runs through April of your graduation year, and never less than twelve months. If you would rather spread the cost, monthly is US$39 and you can cancel anytime, keeping Pro through the end of the month you paid for. Buyers in Brazil are billed in reais; everyone else is billed in US dollars. Either way, the exact amount is shown on the pricing page and again at checkout.
