What our admits are saying
So much cheaper and better than spending thousands on private counseling.
Marcus
Class of 2029
Applied to Johns Hopkins ED because of advice from this platform and Discord. Didn't expect to actually get in!
Lemeilleur
Class of 2030
…I couldn't afford a college counselor like many of my classmates, but the small investment I made into appybara was well worth it. I ended up getting into the Ivy League and lots of top 20s like Berkeley!
Tsunami
…The pricing is affordable compared to traditional college counselors who often charge thousands of dollars…
Achilles
…I got the paid version because it's cheaper than other sites and I feel like it's worth it!…

Questions parents ask
Is this a subscription?
A season pass is a single payment that lasts through your child's deadline. Nothing renews, and there is nothing to cancel. Monthly plans are also available and renew until canceled.
Do I need an account?
No. You pay from the link your child sent and get a receipt by email. The account stays your child's.
Can I see my child's work?
Yes, if your child shares it with you, and it is free. You see their whole application read only: deadlines school by school, every essay and where it stands, and their activities. You can comment on essays. Your child decides, and can pause it any time.
Does the AI write the essays?
No. Appybara reviews what your child writes and shows where it is generic. Colleges get your child's own words.
One payment, and your child stops applying alone
Open the link your child sent you, or ask them to send one from the app.
