100 free credits. No subscription. No card to start.

Pay only for what you learn

Gurukul is credits-based, not a subscription. Every student starts with 100 free credits, every learning tool is unlocked from day one, and you only ever top up when you actually need more. Credits never expire and a parent or school can fund them for you.

Credits vs subscription

Why we chose credits over a monthly plan

A subscription charges you every month whether you study or not, and stops the day you cancel. Credits flip that around - you pay once, only for what you use, and the balance stays yours.

No monthly fee, ever

You are never billed on a cycle. Buy a pack of credits once and use it whenever you study - there is nothing to cancel and nothing that auto-renews.

Credits never expire

Your balance is yours to keep. Finish a pack in a week or spread it across the whole school year - unused credits simply wait until you need them.

Anyone can top you up

Parents can fund credits for their child and schools can grant credits to enrolled students, so you never need your own payment method to keep learning.

You only pay for what you use

Every AI action shows its credit cost before you spend. Light learners pay little, power learners get more value - nobody overpays for a plan they barely touch.

How top-ups work

Running low is never a wall. Top up in seconds the way that suits you - or let a parent or school keep your balance funded.

Khalti for Nepal

Inside Nepal, top up instantly with Khalti. Pick a pack, pay from your mobile wallet, and the credits land in your balance straight away.

Cards internationally

Studying from outside Nepal? Pay by international card. Prices are shown in NPR, INR, and USD so you always confirm an amount you recognise.

A parent tops up for their child

Guardians can buy credits on behalf of their child from their own account - perfect for younger students without a wallet of their own.

A school grants credits

Schools on Gurukul can distribute credits to enrolled students directly, funding the whole class without anyone handling a payment.

How credits work

You are not signing up for a subscription

There is no monthly fee and nothing to cancel. You get a balance of credits, each action spends a few, and you only ever top up if you run the balance down. Credits do not expire.

free credits when you sign up

No card, no trial that expires, no subscription to cancel. They sit there until you use them.

The conversation at home

What to say when your parents ask what this is

You probably cannot sign up without talking to someone about it first. These are the four questions that come up, and honest answers to them.

"Is this going to cost money every month?"
No. There is no subscription and nothing renews. You start with 100 free credits and only ever pay if you use them up and want more - the smallest top-up is NPR 50. If you never top up, nothing happens; the account just stops doing AI things until you do.
"Will it just do your homework for you?"
It is built not to. Ask Vidya a Maths problem and it walks through the working step by step rather than handing over the final number - and it stops to check the step landed before moving on. The point is to be able to do the next one alone.
"Is it teaching you the right syllabus?"
It follows the CDC curriculum and the NEB and SEE exam patterns, chapter by chapter, rather than a generic foreign syllabus. Dates and study plans run on the Bikram Sambat calendar, so a plan works around Dashain and Tihar instead of ignoring them.
"Does this replace your teacher or your tuition?"
No, and it is worth being straight about that. It is there at eleven at night when a chapter will not go in and there is nobody to ask. A teacher who knows you will always beat it for the things that matter most.
