Where Pursiva fits

Stuck between free-but-limited and expert-but-expensive? Not anymore.

Every family ends up choosing between a school counselor stretched too thin, a private counselor priced out of reach, or a generic AI tool with no real plan. Pursiva was built to close that gap.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Is Pursiva just an essay-writing tool?

No — essays are just one part of it. Pursiva covers the entire application journey including test prep, extracurricular planning, essays, recommendations, college lists, and application execution, all built around one personalized plan from freshman year through senior year.

How is Pursiva different from ChatGPT or other generic AI tools?

Generic AI tools only respond to whatever you type in the moment — there's no persistent plan and no accountability. Pursiva is built on a structured admissions methodology, keeps a persistent profile of your student, and turns it into a personalized, year-by-year roadmap rather than one-off answers.

Is using Pursiva considered cheating because it uses AI?

No. Pursiva is designed to work like an experienced college admissions counselor — not like someone completing your application for you. Just as a senior counselor would, it helps students make better decisions, develop their strategy, brainstorm ideas, and create a robust narrative that improves their applications.

What grade should my student start in?

Pursiva supports students from freshman year through senior year. Starting earlier gives the roadmap more room to shape course selection and extracurricular choices, but it's built to help at any stage of high school.

How much does it cost?

$49.90 per month, with every core module included — no hidden per-service fees or upsells. And you have access to Pursiva whenever you need it — 24/7.
