Free vs paid: what you get before you create an account

<p>You should know what costs money before you create an account. Here is the split, in the same words we use on Pricing.</p><p>Free access includes a financial goal-setting assessment, a basic snapshot of where you stand today, and the full library of educational articles, guides, and calculators.</p><p>The paid tier unlocks the complete flight-plan builder: personalized milestone mapping, progress dashboards, accountability check-ins, and advanced planning scenarios.</p><h4>Why the free layer exists</h4><p>It is enough to understand what Saving Birds does and whether it fits. It is not a bait feature that hides the price until after signup.</p><h4>What you pay for</h4><p>The real planning work: sequencing milestones, tracking checkpoints, and getting prompts when you fall behind or hit one. Flight plan+ adds advanced scenarios on top of that builder.</p><ul><li>Free: snapshot, library, calculators.</li><li>Flight plan: the builder, dashboard, and check-ins.</li><li>Flight plan+: advanced scenarios and extra goal tracks.</li><li>SMS is opt-in account notices, never a sales blast.</li></ul>

<h4>Creating an account is not a charge</h4><p>You can create an account on the free layer. Paid features stay paid. If a checkout appears, it is because you chose a paid plan.</p><h4>SMS is separate</h4><p>Texts are account notifications only. Opt-in is a real checkbox, unchecked by default, with the full disclosure next to it. No promotional SMS.</p><h4>The next step</h4><p>Read Pricing. If the free layer is enough, stay there. If you want the builder, you will see the cost first.</p>
