Course creation included on paid plans — learners always free

EduGears AI LTI provides AI-powered teaching tools — question generation, slide creation, study guides, grading, tutoring, lesson planning, and worksheets — that integrate directly into your LMS via the LTI standard.

An instructor seat is any account that can create or grade content — teachers, instructors, trainers, TAs. Learners who only view courses and take assessments are free on every plan, so you only count the people building and marking the work.

No — there's no per-learner fee and learners are unlimited on every plan. Plans are sized by instructor seats, and fair use asks only that your seats keep pace with your enrolment: each seat covers up to 100 enrolled learners, pooled across your whole institution. In practice it rarely changes anything — an instructor with 125 learners and another with 50 come to 175 in total, inside the 200 their two seats already cover, so there's nothing extra to pay. If your enrolment does outgrow your seats, we'll flag it and agree the right plan with you rather than changing anything silently. On paid plans, text-based course creation isn't billed separately either — it's included with no credit limits under the same fair-use terms. Advanced AI, such as AI grading and the AI Tutor, runs on AI credits or your own API key on every plan.

It depends on the kind of AI. On every paid plan — Small, Medium, Large and Premium — text-based course creation (lesson plans, slides, quizzes and question sets, study guides, worksheets, syllabus-to-module builds, rubric and learning-outcome drafts) is included with no credit limits, subject to the fair-use terms in section 10 of our Terms of Service: normal teaching and training use by your own institution. Advanced AI — image generation, AI grading of submissions and projects, AI-graded open-response questions, AI Tutor and AI Assistant conversations, Reflections feedback, and Cog Insights — runs on AI credits on every plan. Power it by connecting your own API key (BYOK, free on every plan) or by purchasing AI credits from your admin portal whenever you need them — $10 for 1,000 credits, and they never expire. Usage shows in your AI usage reports either way.

No instructor-seat limit while you evaluate, unlimited free learners, all 26 AI tools, and 200 AI credits to evaluate them — no credit card, no time limit. On the free plan every AI action draws credits; the costs below are the same on every plan. 1 credit: a chat turn with the AI Tutor, AI Assistant or Cog Insights, a single AI-graded short-answer or essay question, or Reflections feedback on a personal note. 3 credits: any single text generation — lesson plan, slides, study guide, worksheet, syllabus decompose, or a question set of up to 5 — a Reflections class summary, and the overall AI feedback summary on a graded quiz. 10 credits: AI grading of a submitted file or document, a capstone/project submission, and each AI-generated image. 20 credits: AI grading of an audio or video submission. On paid plans, text-based course creation doesn't draw credits — it's included, subject to fair use.

AI-powered tools pause until you subscribe to a paid plan — where text-based course creation is included with no credit limits, subject to fair use — or connect your own API key (BYOK) at no charge and keep going at your provider's rate. Once you're on a paid plan, you can also top up with AI credit packs — $10 for 1,000 credits, and they never expire. Everything you already created stays exactly where it is.

Yes — EduGears AI works with both self-hosted Moodle and Moodle Cloud. On Moodle Cloud Premium plans (which allow plugin install) you can use our one-click Moodle plugin for the simplest setup. On Moodle Cloud Starter (no plugin install), use the universal LTI 1.3 registration URL under the 'All LMS' tab on our setup page — the same path used for Blackboard and Brightspace. Either way takes about 3 minutes.

BYOK lets you connect your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), DeepSeek, or Sarvam AI. We use your key (encrypted at rest) only when making AI calls for your platform, so advanced AI — image generation, AI grading, AI Tutor, AI Assistant and the rest — runs on your provider account at their rate instead of drawing AI credits, and nothing is charged by us. BYOK is free and works on every plan, including Free. Sign in to the admin portal, open AI Providers, paste your key, and we validate it against the provider before saving.

We continuously evaluate the leading AI providers and models against real teaching workloads, and keep your platform on a managed default that balances performance, reasoning, file handling, and cost. If you'd prefer a different provider or model, the Bring Your Own Key option is free on every plan: connect your OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), DeepSeek, or Sarvam AI key and we'll route your calls through it.

Install EduGears AI as an LTI 1.3 external tool in your LMS (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, or Brightspace). During registration you will receive a claim code to link your platform to the billing portal.

A claim code (e.g. EG-XXXX-XXXX) is automatically generated when your LMS registers with EduGears AI. You enter this code in the admin portal to link your platform and manage its subscription. You can find it in your LMS dashboard under the EduGears AI section.

Sign in to the admin portal, navigate to your platform, and click “Manage Billing.” From the Stripe billing portal you can switch between the Small, Medium, Large and Premium plans and toggle between monthly and annual billing. Changes are applied immediately with prorated billing. If you're on one of our earlier plans, your subscription keeps working at the price you signed up at until you choose to move, and the AI terms that apply to it are shown in the admin portal.

Click "Manage Billing" on your platform page and choose "Cancel plan" in the Stripe portal. Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period — you will not lose access immediately. You can resubscribe at any time.

Yes. Each LMS platform has its own claim code and subscription. From the portal dashboard, click "Link Another Platform" and enter the new claim code. You can manage billing for each platform independently.

Yes. All payments are processed securely through Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment provider trusted by millions of businesses worldwide. We never store your credit card information on our servers — all payment data is handled entirely by Stripe.

If you have any questions about billing, invoices, charges, or your subscription, reach out to us at support@edugears.ai. We're happy to help.

An AI credit pack is $10 for 1,000 AI credits — 1¢ per credit — and purchased credits never expire, so you buy a pack whenever you need one and use it at your own pace. Packs are available on every paid plan, from your admin portal. On the free plan there's nothing to buy: the 200 included credits cover every tool while you evaluate, and when they run out you upgrade or connect your own key. Credits are spent only on advanced AI: image generation, AI grading of files, media and projects, AI-graded questions, AI Tutor, AI Assistant and Cog Insights conversations, and Reflections feedback — the credit chart above shows what each task costs. On paid plans, text-based course creation never draws from your credits; it's included, subject to fair use. Prefer not to buy credits? Connect your own API key with Bring Your Own Key, free on every plan, and advanced AI bills your provider instead.
