About OffLadder · 5 min read
What do I get for free, and what does membership add?
A free OffLadder account keeps your read, every experiment and 5 Laddie messages a day. Membership removes the daily limit and the weekly caps on the extras.
The short answer
A free OffLadder account includes your read and all your directions, every experiment and reflection, 5 Laddie messages a day (10 on your first day) and a weekly taste of the extras, including 3 CV tailorings a week. Membership, $9 a month or $79 a year, removes Laddie's daily limit and the weekly caps on the extras. Your first membership starts with a 7-day free trial.
Key takeaways
- The loop is free: your read, directions, experiments, reflections and the record of what you tried.
- Free accounts get 5 Laddie messages a day, 10 on day one.
- Free extras run on a timer: one each a week for Open doors, new directions and proof builds; a brief every four weeks.
- 3 CV tailorings a week are free. Members tailor with no weekly limit, within a daily fair-use limit.
- Membership is $9 a month or $79 a year, with a 7-day free trial first.

Who needs membership?
Most people can test a direction on the free account. Membership earns its price when you're talking to Laddie most days, applying to several jobs a week, or building a project in daily sessions. If you can't name which limit you keep hitting, stay free for now.
How the trial works
Your first membership starts with a 7-day free trial, one per person. You add a card when it starts, and it's first charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. The refund policy covers every payment after that.
Questions people ask
- Can I use OffLadder without paying?
- Yes. The free account isn't a trial: your read, directions, experiments and reflections stay free. Membership is for people who want more of Laddie and the extras than the free amounts.
- What happens if I stop being a member?
- Everything you've saved stays: your read, directions, experiments and notes. Laddie goes back to 5 messages a day and the extras go back to the free amounts.
- Is membership really unlimited?
- There's no daily limit on Laddie and no weekly limit on the extras. CV tailoring has a daily fair-use limit, and every part of the service has reasonable usage limits to stop scripts and abuse, as the terms say.
- Is there a price for students or under-18s?
- Membership isn't offered to 13 to 15 year olds; their free account is the whole product for them. Prices are the same for everyone else, and the founding price is locked for as long as you stay.
