Pricing
We don't publish fixed rates. Here's why.
A senior who needs essay help in October and a 9th grader building a four-year roadmap are two completely different engagements. Publishing a price list would mean overcharging one and undercharging the other. Instead, we scope every package individually — and tell you the number within 24 hours of your free call.

Common questions about cost
Is there a minimum engagement?
No. Some families come to us for one essay package. Others work with us for three years. We don't require long-term commitments.
How does Laplace compare to bigger firms in cost?
We're generally more affordable than firms like Crimson or IvyWise — and we'd argue more effective, because your advisor actually graduated last year and remembers what worked. Crimson charges $5,000–$50,000+. We don't.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Bring it up on the call and we'll structure something that works.
What if we only need one thing?
That's fine. Tell us what it is and we'll scope just that. No bundling required.
