Question 1

What do I get that a free chatbot can't give me?

Accepted Answer

Three things a general-purpose assistant has no way to provide: your real odds at 1,000+ colleges, calculated from the academic profiles of students who actually got in; a plan tied to each school's actual deadlines and supplement requirements; and feedback that pushes your draft to sound more like you, not less. A chatbot will happily write the essay for you, which is the one thing that gets a student into trouble, and the one thing we will not do.

Question 2

What is a pass?

Accepted Answer

One payment that covers you until your applications are done. No subscription, no renewal, nothing to cancel. A senior's Season Pass runs through June 30, so you are covered past every deadline and through waitlists and final decisions. Younger students buy the years they have left in one go.

Question 3

Should I pick a pass or a monthly plan?

Accepted Answer

If you know you are in this until you are done, the pass costs less than paying month after month for the same stretch, and there is nothing to remember to cancel. If you would rather go month to month, take the monthly plan. Same product either way, only the way you pay changes.

Question 4

Why does a senior pass cost less later in the year?

Accepted Answer

Because you are buying less time. A pass bought in August covers the whole application season. One bought in January covers the final stretch. The price follows what is left of the year, not the calendar.

Question 5

What happens when my pass ends?

Accepted Answer

Your account moves to our free plan and everything you wrote stays yours. The coaching and review credits that came with the pass are for that season, so they end with it. If you want to keep going after that, you can start a plan any time.

Question 6

What do Pro and Pro Plus add compared to Essentials?

Accepted Answer

Pro and Pro Plus unlock our highest-quality guidance and feedback (powered by premium frontier AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google) for more consistent essay coaching, college matching, and application support. Essentials includes four reliable standard models that are great for getting started.

Question 7

How does GoodGoblin compare to a traditional admissions consultant?

Accepted Answer

Private consultants typically charge $5,000–$15,000 and you get them for a scheduled hour at a time. GoodGoblin is available whenever your student sits down to work, for a fraction of that, essay coaching, application organization, and a college list built on real admissions data. What a consultant gives you that we don't is a human who knows your family; what we give you that they can't is availability at 11pm the night before a deadline.

Question 8

How much time will I save?

Accepted Answer

Most of the time an application eats goes to logistics rather than writing, working out which school wants which essay, tracking every deadline, and waiting on feedback. GoodGoblin keeps every requirement and due date in one place and returns feedback on a draft in minutes, so your hours go into the work that actually improves the application.

Question 9

Are you able to assist students located in any part of the world?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! GoodGoblin is an online platform accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you're in New York, New Delhi, or anywhere else, you can access our full suite of tools to apply to U.S. colleges.

Question 10

Why do you need my credit card for a free trial?

Accepted Answer

We require a credit card for verification purposes. You won't be charged during your 3-day free trial period. You can cancel anytime before the trial ends to avoid any charges.

Question 11

Will I be charged during the free trial?

Accepted Answer

No, you will not be charged during your 3-day free trial period. Billing only begins after your trial expires, and only if you choose to continue with the service.

Question 12

How do I cancel my free trial or subscription?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel anytime from your account dashboard under Settings → Subscription. If you cancel before your trial ends, you won't be charged. After cancellation, you'll retain access until your current billing period ends.

Question 13

What happens after my free trial ends?

Accepted Answer

After your 3-day trial ends, you'll automatically be billed for your chosen plan unless you cancel. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time.

Question 14

Is my payment information secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we use Stripe for payment processing, which employs bank-level security and is PCI DSS compliant. We never store your credit card information on our servers.

Question 15

What forms of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through Stripe. International cards are also accepted.
