Simple Pricing for Single-Use Recommendation Links.

Start free. Pay per link when you need more. Sprint when you’re applying everywhere.

Core Rule: every recommendation requires a freshly generated, one-time-use link.
Links can never be reused. Once submitted, they expire automatically — closing link sharing, replay submissions, and unauthorized reuse.

FAQ

Common questions

Why is faculty always free?

Faculty already donate their time and expertise. ReadMyStudent is built to reduce workload, not add a paywall.

Do students get access to letters?

Letters remain confidential by default. Sharing is consent-based and designed to preserve integrity and trust.

When will institutional plans launch?

Soon. If you’re a department or school interested in verification + compliance workflows, contact us for early access.

Is my data secure?

We design for encryption, access control, and consent-based sharing. Sensitive academic documents deserve strong defaults.
