Frequently asked questions about courses, collaboration, and pricing
Learn how Supastudy handles course planning, shared study materials, privacy, and paid plans before you get started.
How does Supastudy organize study materials?
Supastudy helps you organize study material from the top down: degree program, year, course, and topic. That structure makes it easier to keep notes, files, and questions attached to the right part of the syllabus.
What can I keep inside a course?
Each course brings your notes, files, and Q&A into one place, so lecture material, revision notes, and open questions stay together while you study.
Can I use Supastudy on my own, or is it only for shared courses?
You can use Supastudy on your own for course planning, notes, files, and exam prep. Shared courses are optional and become useful when you want to study with classmates in the same course space.
Can I prepare for exams without sharing private progress?
Yes. You can track course status, exam date, and exam grade privately. That personal progress data is never shared with other members.
Who can edit a shared course?
Editing depends on the role. Owners keep full control, moderators can help manage members and invite links, members can add and edit shared course content, and viewers can only read and download materials.
How do shared courses work?
In private shared courses, you invite classmates with role-based access. Viewers can read, members can contribute, moderators can help manage collaboration, and owners keep full control.
How do invite links work for shared courses?
Owners and moderators can create invite links for a specific role and share them with classmates. When someone joins through that link, they get the access level attached to it right away.
What is the difference between a private course and a public course?
Private courses are invite-only and are best for collaboration with classmates. Public courses can be discovered by other Supastudy users, who can join as viewers with read-only access and download files.
Can I follow a topic or question and get updates?
Yes. You can follow questions and topics to get in-app updates when someone answers, adds new material, or mentions you. That helps you keep up with the parts of a course that matter to you.
How much file storage do I get?
The Free plan includes 500 MB of file storage. Paid plans increase that limit to 5 GB, which gives you more room for lecture slides, handouts, and shared study files.
Do I need a university email?
No. You can sign up with any email address. University and degree details help when you want better course context and public course discovery.
Pricing and billing questions
Answers about free-plan limits, upgrades, billing, and cancelation.
What changes when I upgrade?
Upgrading removes the 1 degree program and 1 course limit, increases storage to 5 GB, and unlocks private shared courses with invite links and member roles.
Can I switch billing cadence later?
Yes. You can switch between monthly, 6-month, and annual billing later from your subscription settings.
What are the Free plan limits?
The Free plan includes 1 degree program, 1 course, and 500 MB of storage. You can plan and study on your own for free, but shared courses require a paid plan.
How does billing work?
Billing is processed securely through Stripe. You are charged according to the billing cadence you choose: monthly, every 6 months, or annually.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel anytime, and paid access stays active until the end of the current billing period.
