Pricing
Free to learn. Fair to upgrade.
Students never pay to post, debate or compete. Paid plans add more Zilly for individuals and more scale for schools.
For students
Start free, stay free
Rank cannot be bought. Zelo Plus adds tools, not points.

Questions
Billing, plainly
How does payment work?
Prices are shown in your local currency. You pay once, in US dollars converted at that day’s exchange rate, through our secure payment partner (your bank may show a small conversion fee). There is no automatic renewal, so you are never charged unexpectedly. Extend whenever you like and any unused time carries over.
What happens when a paid plan ends?
A student account returns to the free plan and a school returns to School Starter. Nothing is deleted — posts, ranks, classes and products all stay. Limits on new activity simply return to the free allowances.
Can a rank be bought?
No. Points come only from contribution, challenges and debate. Paid plans never add points.
What does the marketplace cost a school?
Listing is free. Zelo keeps a commission on each completed sale: 10% on School Starter and 5% on School Pro.
Do you offer refunds?
If something went wrong with a purchase, contact us within 14 days with your payment reference and we will put it right.
