FAQ
Don't see your question? Write to us — a real person replies, usually within a few hours.
hello@pencilspaces.com›User hours are billed to the nearest minute, and only count when there are two or more participants in a Space. Solo prep time is free.
Joining one session on multiple devices with the same account doesn't double-count — annotate over a PDF on your iPad while you're on video on your laptop, no extra cost.
You can run up to 5 hours of automatic overage per billing cycle at your tier's rate — $0.09 per user-hour on Pro, $0.50 per user-hour on Expert, $0.99 per user-hour on Master. Transparent line item on your next invoice. No throttling, no mid-session disconnects.
Past those 5 hours, your sessions don't pause — you'll be prompted to top up with a discounted 10-hour pack:
Why the cap? We've seen accounts accidentally rack up huge unplanned charges in a month. The 5-hour auto-overage plus pack model keeps your bill predictable — no rude surprises at month-end.
On annual plans, your hours pool: 600 hours per year, flexed however you like. Heavy weeks balance light ones, and most users never see overage.
If you're consistently going over, we'll flag it and recommend either a tier upgrade or a custom plan — whichever's cheaper for you.
Yes to both. 14 days free on Pro, Expert, and Master — no credit card required. Run real sessions, test recordings and AI summaries, see if it fits how you teach.
If you upgrade and change your mind, you have 30 days, money-back, no questions asked. We'd rather you leave clean than feel stuck.
For schools, networks, and districts on Scale: longer pilot programs — let's talk.
Yes — any time, up or down. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. No termination fees.
Everything you put in, you can take out — APIs and downloadable spaces are bundled into every plan specifically so you're never locked in.
While your account is active and in good standing, everything you create stays — spaces, recordings, sessions, exports anytime. That's a Pencil Promise.
If your account lapses (cancellation, expired card, or an abandoned trial), past spaces and recordings are kept for 30 days, then scheduled for deletion. We do this to keep the platform fair for active customers and to stop recycled-account abuse.
Two simple ways to never lose your work: stay subscribed, or export everything before you go. Either way, write to us — we'll help.
Networks like Teach For America, district-wide tutoring initiatives, and statewide partnerships — organizations where Pencil Spaces is operational infrastructure across hundreds of sites. If you're running 1,000+ user hours/month and need custom development, S3 export, dedicated success, or your own coaching rubric, that's Scale.
Not sure whether you need it? You probably don't yet. Start on Master.
Ready when you are
14 days free, no credit card. 30-day money-back if you change your mind.
We're here, however you reach us.
