Announcement Regarding the Premium Membership Price Revision and Free Membership Feature Changes

Introduction

Thank you for using our service. In order to ensure stable operations and further enhance functionality, we will implement the following changes effective March 1, 2025:

1. Revision of the Premium Membership monthly fee to $4.99
2. Partial modification of the usage scope for Free Plan users

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause and kindly ask for your understanding.

Background and Reason for Changes

Our service leverages AI technology and external tools to provide a high-quality language learning experience. However, due to increasing development and operational costs, it has become necessary to review our pricing structure to maintain the sustainability and continuous improvement of our service.

• Free Plan: We will continue to offer the current features while adjusting certain usage limits to ensure we can keep providing our services in a stable manner.
• Premium Membership: Even after setting the monthly fee at 800 yen, we will continue to provide enhanced learning support features to help users improve their language skills.

Details of the Changes

1. Free Plan Feature Adjustments

Starting March 1, 2025, the following usage limits for Free Plan users will be modified:

• ChatGPT queries: Up to 3 times per day
• Translation: Up to 3 times per day
• Detailed proofreading: Up to 3 times per day
• Recorded audio storage: 3 months

These changes will partially limit certain features in the Free Plan. However, basic functionalities will still be available. We appreciate your understanding.

2. Premium Membership Fee Revision (Effective March 1, 2025)

New Pricing: $4.99 (tax included) per month / $49.99 (tax included) per year

Please note that features labeled as “unlimited” have a daily limit of 1,000 uses to ensure the stability of our service.

Future Outlook
