Pricing FAQ
Lifecycle laddering, billing, and switching tiers.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes — upgrade any time. Move from Career Core to Career Accelerate the day before an interview, or step up to Executive Premier once you're settled in the new role and ready to grow your career. Upgrades are immediate and prorated against the days remaining in the current cycle.
What happens to my data when I upgrade?
Everything you've built stays. Your story bank, job tracker, weekly reviews, work-values profile, and conversation history all carry forward. New features unlock immediately — no re-import, no reset. The whole point of the lifecycle ladder is that your career compounds in one place.
What's the promo?
Your first month on Career Core is $49 with the full $99 Career Accelerate feature set unlocked — every Job Search coach, unlimited resumes, unlimited cover letters, unlimited LinkedIn drafts. After the first month it returns to the standard $49 Career Core scope, and you can upgrade to Career Accelerate any time you want to keep the wider feature set.
Is there an annual plan?
Yes. Annual on any tier is 2 months free — pay for 10 months, get the year. The lifecycle thinking still applies: most members start monthly on Career Core, upgrade to Career Accelerate when their search is active, then move to annual on Executive Premier once they've signed the offer and the focus shifts to long-term career growth.
What's the difference between Career Accelerate and Executive Premier?
Career Accelerate is the full Job Search system plus 10 broadly-useful Career Accelerator coaches and weekly check-ins (22 specialized coaches in total). Executive Premier unlocks the full senior + executive suite: 16 additional specialty coaches for promotion, performance review, executive presence, leadership transitions, politics, and more (38 specialized coaches in total), plus unlimited weekly reviews, every assessment, work-values matching, and the reflection journal preview.
How do you handle billing and refunds?
Plans are monthly, billed in advance, and you can cancel any time from your account. If something goes wrong inside the first 14 days, email support and we'll refund the current month — no forms, no haggling. After 14 days we don't offer prorated refunds, but you keep access through the end of the billing cycle when you cancel.
How do I cancel?
Open Account → Billing and click Cancel plan. The change is one click — no retention call, no exit survey gate. You keep full access through the end of the current billing cycle, your story bank and career history stay archived, and you can reactivate any time without re-importing your proof. Cancellation never deletes your data.
Find your dream job. Excel and grow in your career.
Start for $1 and let Career Stride power proof, positioning, and the next chapter of your career — with you in the approval seat at every step.
