Why we built a family plan
Families are the most underserved segment in educational technology. Most edtech tools are built either for individual students or for institutions. Families sit in between: a parent who cares deeply about their children's progress, multiple children at different ages and levels, and a household budget that doesn't stretch to four individual subscriptions.
The SolversBoard Family plan was designed specifically for this situation. One subscription. Up to five accounts. Complete visibility for the parent. $17 per month - or $194 per year.
What's included
Every member of a Family account gets:
- Full access to SolversBoard - all subjects, all levels (Pre-K through College), unlimited questions, Meg's AI feedback on every answer, worked examples, concept explanations, and the full canvas experience
- Individual progress tracking - each child's sessions, scores, streaks, and badge progression are tracked separately
- Exam Prep - access to all 40+ standardised exams for age-appropriate preparation
- The Learning Agent - personalised study planning and performance analysis for each child
- Challenge mode - timed rapid-fire question sessions with scoring
The parent dashboard
The parent account has an additional layer of visibility that individual accounts don't have: the parent dashboard.
From the dashboard, a parent can see:
- All children's recent activity - which child studied today, what subject they worked on, and how long they practised
- Accuracy and progress summaries - each child's correct/incorrect ratio, trending up or down, broken down by subject
- Streak information - which children are on an active study streak and how many days it's been going
- Badge achievements - when a child earns a new badge, it appears in the parent dashboard
- Session access - parents can view any session a child has shared with them, seeing the exact questions, canvas work, Meg's feedback, and scores
The dashboard is not a surveillance tool. It's a support tool. It gives parents the information they need to encourage the right behaviour - to say "I can see you've been working hard on chemistry this week" or "your maths streak broke - want to get back on it tonight?" - without having to sit next to their child for every session.
The family leaderboard
One of the features parents tell us their children love most is the family leaderboard - a friendly ranking of all children in the family by XP, accuracy, or streak.
Children are competitive with their siblings in a way they aren't with strangers. The family leaderboard channels that energy productively. Siblings push each other to keep up, and parents can reference the standings at dinner without it feeling like nagging.
Leaderboards update in real time and can be viewed by all family members.
Multiple levels, one account
Children at different ages and school years don't need separate subscriptions or separate management. SolversBoard supports Pre-K, K-12, and College levels simultaneously across the same family account. Each child sets their own level, and Meg generates questions appropriate to that level.
A 9-year-old practising multiplication and a 17-year-old revising A-Level Chemistry can both be active in the same family account at the same time, with completely separate sessions, separate progress records, and separate feedback from Meg.
Shared study materials
Families using SolversBoard for homeschooling - or simply wanting their children to practise from specific material - can upload a shared document that all children in the family can use as the basis for AI-generated questions. Upload a chapter from your curriculum guide, a past paper, or any PDF or text document, and Meg will generate questions directly from that content.
For homeschooling families
The Family plan is particularly well-suited to homeschooling. Many homeschooling parents tell us their biggest challenge is not finding curriculum - it's finding practice material that gives meaningful feedback at scale. A parent can't personally mark 50 maths problems per child per day.
SolversBoard solves this. Meg marks every piece of work, gives detailed feedback on every answer, and tracks progress across every session. The parent can see everything in the dashboard without having to sit through every session. And because homeschool families often work across a wide range of topics and ages, the breadth of SolversBoard's subject and level coverage is a particular advantage.
We cover the homeschooling use case in more detail in a dedicated post - but the short version is that the Family plan gives homeschooling parents the infrastructure of a school, at a fraction of the cost.
Managing the family account
Setting up a Family account takes about five minutes:
- Sign up as the parent account - this becomes the family admin.
- Invite each child by email, or create accounts on their behalf if they don't have their own email addresses.
- Each child receives an invitation link and sets their own password.
- Set each child's level (Pre-K, K-12, or College) and preferred subjects.
- Start studying.
The parent account remains the admin for the family - it can add or remove children, view the dashboard, upload shared materials, and manage billing.
The Family plan is $17/month or $194/year, with a 7-day free trial. Credit card required to start. One subscription covers the whole family - start your trial at solversboard.com.
