Published-course and student counts are tracked account-wide across every academy you own, not per academy. On Scale, running multiple academies shares one pool of student slots and published courses rather than multiplying them.
Draft courses are not capped on a paid plan, so you can keep as many works-in-progress as you like. The published-course limit is what gates how many are live for students at once.
The free preview trial
New owners start on a 7-day preview that needs no credit card. The editor and course builder feel fully unlocked so you can shape real content, but depth is walled: one academy, up to 8 courses, up to 5 students, 3 Knowledge sources, and a one-time pool of 10 AI credits.Build during the trial
You can generate a course with AI, edit lessons, and add a few students to see the full flow end to end.
What stays locked
Custom domain, custom sending domain, selling with Stripe, and REST API access are reserved for paid plans. Trying one shows an upgrade prompt.
AI credits
AI work draws from a credit pool. On paid plans the pool refills at the start of each monthly billing period (yearly subscribers still get a fresh monthly allowance). Pro includes 100 credits per period; Scale includes 300. Credits are spent per AI operation:What costs a credit
What costs a credit
- Generating a course costs 1 credit per lesson drafted. A 10-lesson course uses about 10 credits.
- A course-level AI assistant turn costs 1 credit, no matter how many lessons it edits in that turn.
- A bulk transform costs 1 credit.
What is free
What is free
Lighter operations such as generating diagrams or building interactive widget code do not draw from your credit pool on a paid plan. The quality and repair passes that run inside course generation are also free; you are only charged for the lessons produced.
Usage meters
Your billing area shows live usage meters so you can see how much of each limit you have used. The account-wide meters track:- Published courses used against your plan’s published-course limit.
- Students used against your plan’s student limit (this also counts pending invitations that have not yet been accepted, since they hold a slot).
- AI credits used in the current period.
When a plan is paused or lapses
If a subscription is cancelled, or a payment stays unpaid past the grace period, the academy moves into a locked state.Grace period first
A failed renewal does not lock you immediately. There is a short grace window (about a week) where the plan keeps working while Stripe retries the payment.
Then the academy pauses
After that, the academy is paused: the student site shows a temporarily-unavailable page, any custom domain is detached, and no new enrollments are taken.
High-value pages are gated
On the owner side, the most valuable pages (analytics, sales, content preview, and AI generation) show a Reactivate plan screen instead of their data. The rest of the app stays viewable so you can check your settings.
The Stripe platform fee (when you sell)
If you charge your students, Fayne applies a platform fee on top of Stripe’s own processing fees. The fee depends on your plan:Pro
A 3% Fayne platform fee on each sale.
Scale
0% Fayne platform fee. You keep the full amount after Stripe’s processing fees.
