01What you get

Everything in Pro, free.

The Recruiting Season Pass is normally $99 for 12 months, paid once. In the pilot it is free. Here is what that opens for your player, for 12 months.

  • Sample player
    The Fit list in the app: college programs ranked for a sample player, an athletic and an academic score on each

    Schools scored for you

    Every school scored, not just 15

    All 2,215 college programs ranked for your player, both scores on each, sortable any way you like.

    Free plan: Your 15 best fits. Any other school, one page at a time.

  • Sample player
    The Emails screen in the app: a first email to a college coach, drafted for a sample player

    Schools you activate

    5 schools your first month, then 3 more every month

    Each one comes with the research, a personalized email draft and a follow-up plan. Unused ones roll over and never expire.

    Free plan: 1 school, once.

  • Sample player
    A program's roster in the app: who graduates at the sample player's position

    The roster read

    The full roster read on every school you activate

    Who graduates at your position, how deep the squad is, whether freshmen play, where the roster is recruited from, admissions and cost.

    Free plan: On the 1 school you activate.

  • Sample player
    The voice screen in the app: what a sample player said, and the line of her email rewritten in her words

    Emails in your own voice

    Coach emails in your own voice, for every school you activate

    Talk for two minutes. Your browser writes it down, our AI learns how you talk, and each draft comes back sounding like you. Facts never change.

    Free plan: On the 1 school you activate.

02How it works

Three steps to your spot.

  1. Start free

    Answer the questions about your player. It takes a few minutes, and your first list is ready at the end.

  2. Make your account

    Use a parent's email and confirm it from the link we send. Still free, still no card.

  3. Claim your spot

    Come back to this page and tap claim. Startline Pro opens right away, for 12 months.

03What we ask

Free for you. Honest with us.

What we ask in return

  • Use it for real. Finish the questions and start on at least one school.

  • Tell us what's confusing. A short form after about two weeks: what was confusing, and what was missing.

  • A 15-minute call, if you like. With the founder. It is optional.

The pilot terms, in plain words

  1. Free. The pilot gives you the Recruiting Season Pass at no cost.

  2. No card. We don't ask for one, so there is nothing to charge.

  3. It ends after 12 months by itself. It does not renew and it does not charge. Your account goes back to Free, and nothing is deleted.

  4. Feedback is voluntary. No testimonial is required, and nothing you say is quoted without a parent's written OK.

  5. One spot per account, for the first 10 families. A spot is taken when a signed-in account with a confirmed email, whose player's questions are finished, claims it on this page.

  6. We can close the pilot to new families at any time. If you already hold a spot, you keep your pass.

04Before you ask

Short answers

Is it really free?

Yes. The pilot gives you the Recruiting Season Pass free for 12 months. We never ask for a card, so nothing can be charged, now or when it ends.

What happens when the pilot pass ends?

Your account goes back to the Free plan after 12 months. Your list, the schools you follow and your tracker all stay. If you want another season, the Recruiting Season Pass is $99 for 12 months, paid once, and it is your choice.

Who can claim a spot?

A family: a player, or a parent with their player. You need a free Startline account with a confirmed email, and your player's questions finished. One spot per account, and there are 10 in total.

What do you want from us?

Use it for real, then tell us honestly what was confusing or missing: a short form after about two weeks, and a 15-minute call with the founder if you'd like one. Both are optional, and nothing you say is quoted without a parent's written OK.

Does Startline email coaches for us?

No. Startline does the research and writes a draft for each school you activate. You read it, edit it and send it from your own inbox.

What if the spots are gone?

The Free plan stays free: your 15 best-fit schools, and 1 school to activate with its research, email draft and follow-up plan. You can also get the newsletter, and the Recruiting Season Pass is there if you want everything.
