ChessLang pricing: how it works, and what it costs as you grow
ChessLang is a paid monthly subscription priced by the number of student accounts. Each plan includes a set number of students; add more and you upgrade to a bigger plan — so the bill climbs as your academy grows. There's no free plan, but there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. Chessido is free to start and is the most affordable chess academy platform as you grow.

- Monthly, no long-term contract. You can cancel from your account.

Why academies feel the cost
Because the price follows your student count, every batch you add raises the bill. In our own time using ChessLang, what you got for it covered the basics but felt dated, with little to make your own — and academies often pay for other tools on top for fees, certificates or tournament pairing.
The most affordable chess academy platform
Chessido was built so every coach and academy can afford great software — from a coach with five students to an academy with hundreds. It's free to start with no credit card, and stays the most affordable option as you grow.
For that you get one modern platform: live classes with video, self-marking homework, a student side packed with games, puzzles, courses and ratings, plus academy management, fees, certificates and tournament pairing — no extra tools to pay for.
