🐻 One price. Every level.
Simple, honest pricing.
$59/month, from your child's first pawn move all the way through Master Cub, our seventh and highest level. No price jumps as they improve. Ever.
That's two live coached classes every week, about $6.80 per class. Most private chess tutors charge $40-$80 an hour.
Join at $59, keep $59. Existing families never pay more than the price they joined at. Any future increase applies to new families only.

Payments & cancellation
Pricing questions, answered
$59/month, everything included, every level. No tiers, no add-ons, no upgrade to buy later. Cancel whenever you need to, and the price you join at is the price you keep.
Never more than 6 students. It is a hard cap, not a target: small enough that your child's coach knows their games, reviews their mistakes, and writes their progress report personally.
The same $59. Getting stronger at ChessCubs never makes chess more expensive.
Because "your child improves, so you pay more" never sat right with us. Progress shouldn't cost a loyalty penalty. One subscription, one promise, years of curriculum: $59/month covers your child from their first pawn move all the way through Master Cub, our seventh and highest level.
Not for you. If we ever raise the price it applies to new families only. Join at $59 and you keep $59 for as long as you stay.
Tell us within 14 days of your child's first class and we'll refund that first month in full. No forms, no reason needed. After that, the month you've paid for runs to the end of its cycle and cancelling stops the next one. And if we ever cancel a class and can't offer a make-up, we refund or credit it.
Yes. Cancel yourself from the Billing page in your parent dashboard. No phone call, no retention offer, no reason needed. Your current month's classes run to the end of the cycle.
Yes and yes. Families with two or more cubs get 10% off the total. And you can pause anytime. Just tell us before your next billing month begins (a month already underway can't be paused partway; its remaining classes are forfeited).
