How much does Silent Student cost, and what does it run on?
How much is each Silent Student plan?

Who makes Silent Student?
El Dorado Ignition LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, makes and sells Silent Student. It is the party you contract with under the Terms. Silent Student is not affiliated with Instructure or any homework platform.
Is there a free version of Silent Student?
No. There is no free plan, and general signups get no free trial. The free way to see it is the live demo, which runs the real dashboard in your browser with no download and no sign-up. The Silent Student FAQ covers safety, setup and platforms.
Does Silent Student work on my laptop, such as an Acer?
It needs a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) on macOS 13 or later, or a PC on Windows 10 or later (64-bit). The brand doesn’t matter: an Acer, Dell, HP or Lenovo laptop running 64-bit Windows 10 or later meets the requirement.
Does Silent Student work on a Chromebook, iPad or phone?
No. It is a desktop app for Mac and Windows. It does not run on ChromeOS, so an Acer or HP Chromebook won’t work, and there is no iPad or phone app.
Where do I download Silent Student?
Only from silentstudent.com/download. Downloads unlock once your account has an active plan. Until then, the download buttons take you to sign up and choose a plan.
What is the difference between Base, Plus and Pro?
Two things: monthly usage (1×, 2× or unlimited) and the advanced pro model (Plus and Pro). Every other row is the same on every plan.

How does Silent Student’s price compare with Apex Vision AI and SnapGPT?
Silent Student costs more than answer-helper tools such as Apex Vision AI and SnapGPT, and unlike them it has no free tier. Each tool does a different job: those two help you answer questions you then enter yourself, while Silent Student works whole assignments in its own browser and submits them.
| Tool | Free option | Paid plans |
|---|---|---|
| Silent Student | None (live demo, and a money-back guarantee if a problem on our side can’t be fixed within 3 days; conditions apply) | $11.99, $24.99 or $49.99/month |
| Apex Vision AI | 30 requests, plus a refill every 12 hours | $7.99, $14.99 or $19.99/month for 500, 1,000 or 2,000 requests |
| SnapGPT | 5 screenshot answers and 5 chat messages a day | Plus: $9.99/month (also $7.99/week or $89.99/year) |
Other tools’ prices are from their own pricing pages, checked October 19, 2026, and may have changed. Chegg’s site blocked our check, so the Chegg comparison lists no price. See every comparison.
What does every Silent Student plan include?
Every plan includes the desktop app for Mac and Windows, automatic updates, every platform and every feature. Switch or cancel anytime.
Not a Chrome extension
Silent Student is a desktop app, not a browser plugin. It runs its own browser on your computer, so your everyday browser and its saved logins are left alone.
Handles the hard platforms
Dedicated solvers for WebAssign, Apex Learning, Cengage, McGraw Hill SmartBook, myBusinessCourse and Packback. Platforms without one, such as Pearson MyLab and McGraw Hill Connect, run on the general screen-reading agent, which is less predictable.
Draft review before submit
Every Canvas essay, discussion post and file upload is drafted first. You review, approve, regenerate, or edit before it submits. Posts on external courseware like Packback are published directly.
Works through a queue
Queue your assignments and it works them in due-date order, keeps the computer awake while the queue has work in it (leave it open and on power), and stops when the queue is empty.
Autopilot asks less of you
Say “do everything due tomorrow” and approve one ordered plan — or set how far ahead it should look and let it pick Canvas work up on its own as deadlines approach. Drafts and held quizzes still come back to you, and every attempt lands in your history with a reason.
What doesn’t the price cover?
| Limit | What it means |
|---|---|
| Proctored exams | Not taken on any plan. The money-back guarantee does not cover work the app says it does not support before it runs. |
| Grades | No plan promises a grade. The AI can be wrong, and platforms without a dedicated solver are less predictable. |
| Monthly usage | On Base and Plus, AI work pauses when the month’s allowance is used up, until the next billing period or a plan change. Pro is unlimited for normal personal use (fair use). |
| Your school’s rules | You are responsible for your school’s academic-integrity policy and each platform’s terms (Terms, section 5). Silent Student is not affiliated with any of them. |
Silent Student pricing FAQ: free trial, refunds, promo codes and canceling
Is there a free trial or free plan?
No free plan, and no free trial for general signups: new accounts start a paid monthly plan at Stripe checkout. The only free trial is a 7-day limited one that comes with an eligible promo code (Terms, section 4). You can watch it work on the live demo before you pay, and a money-back guarantee applies if a problem on our side can’t be fixed within 3 days (request within 30 days, before you cancel; conditions apply).
What comes with a promo-code free trial?
An eligible promo code may come with a 7-day limited free trial. It includes every feature, the Pro engine too, with one AI-usage allowance for the whole trial that is smaller than a paid plan’s monthly allowance; it does not reset, and AI work pauses when it runs out. You need a valid payment method to start the trial. Cancel before it ends and you aren’t charged; otherwise billing starts when the trial ends and the plan renews monthly. Canceling a trial ends trial access at once, and there is one free trial per person and per payment method. Without an eligible code, a new account starts a paid plan at checkout (Terms, section 4).
Are signups open?
Yes. New accounts are open: create an account and pick a plan (checked October 19, 2026).
What happens if it doesn’t work for me?
If the problem is on our side and we can’t fix it within 3 days of your refund request, you get your money back. Request a refund within 30 days of your first subscription payment (or within 7 days of a later monthly payment) and keep your plan active until we reply; cancelling first ends eligibility. Conditions apply (Terms, section 4).
Can I get a refund from Silent Student?
Yes, under the money-back guarantee in Terms, section 4. If Silent Student doesn’t work for you because of a problem on our side and we can’t fix it within 3 days of your request, we refund that payment in full. Request it within 30 days of your first subscription payment, or within 7 days of a later monthly payment: on your Account page choose Manage Billing, then “Cancel or request a refund”, or text or call (307) 228-0145. Keep your plan active until we reply; cancelling first withdraws the request. It applies once per person and doesn’t cover problems caused by your school, a third-party platform, your device or your network, work the app tells you it doesn’t support before it runs, such as proctored exams, or a run you stop yourself. Other payments are nonrefundable, except where the law requires a refund.
How do I cancel my Silent Student subscription?
You can cancel anytime, with no long-term commitment. Sign in at silentstudent.com/account, choose Manage Billing, then “Cancel or request a refund”. A few optional questions follow, and you can skip each one. If you want a refund, request it before you cancel: cancelling ends refund eligibility. Your plan stays active through the billing period you’ve already paid for, and after that the app and downloads are locked. To come back, click Manage Billing. Don’t close your account to cancel: closing it cancels any subscription immediately, with no refund for the rest of the month, and ends your access to the app.
Which plan should I pick?
Every plan includes every platform and feature, the vision agent and Autopilot included. Plans differ in two things: monthly usage and the advanced pro model. Plus fits most students: the pro model and double Base usage. Base is for a light semester. Pro has unlimited usage, for back-to-back course loads.
Can I switch plans mid-semester?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade from your account page at any time — the change prorates automatically through Stripe.
How many devices can I use Silent Student on?
Two. Each plan covers two computers at a time, Mac or Windows, for your own coursework, and you may connect only school accounts that belong to you (Terms). If you try to activate a third computer, the app asks you to deactivate one first. Base, Plus and Pro all include the same two devices.
Does it cost extra for WebAssign, MindTap or other platforms?
No. Every plan includes every platform and feature, the vision agent and Autopilot included. Only monthly usage and the advanced pro model differ between plans.
What happens when I use up my monthly usage?
On Base and Plus, the usage allowance resets at the start of each billing period. When it’s used up, AI work pauses until the next period starts or until you change plans; Plus has double the Base allowance. Pro has unlimited usage for normal personal use, under the fair-use terms: sharing an account, reselling it or running it for other people’s accounts isn’t covered (Terms, sections 4 and 5).
Is there a Silent Student promo code or discount?
If you have a promo code, for example from a Silent Student rep, enter it when you sign up, or redeem it on your account page before you choose a plan. Stripe checkout shows any accepted discount before you pay, and some codes add the 7-day limited trial. A Silent Student code works only at Silent Student checkout. It is not a Cengage, WebAssign or MindTap code, and Silent Student is not affiliated with Cengage. There is no yearly plan; every plan is billed monthly.
Is my payment information safe?
Payments run entirely through Stripe. Card details are entered in Stripe’s checkout, and Silent Student never sees or stores your card number.
