A personal college counselor for every student
The wisdom of real counselors with the speed and reach of AI. Greetly builds your four-year plan, coaches you every day — in chat or out loud, in a real voice conversation — and watches every deadline. Guidance once reserved for families paying $200 an hour, now for every family.
Free for students 13+. No credit card. No spam — every email has an unsubscribe.
From “no idea” to a plan in one evening
Tell Greetly about you
Your classes, interests, goals, and how you like to learn — a 5-minute onboarding, not a personality quiz.
Get your 4-year plan
A milestone-by-milestone roadmap from your grade through graduation: courses, testing, activities, summers, applications.
Stay on track together
Daily coaching, alerts before every deadline, and a weekly recap for parents. The plan updates as you grow.
A head start in middle school — or day one of high school
Come in 6th grade or 9th — Greetly meets your family where you are. No student account needed: tell Greetly about your kid in two minutes and brainstorm with a counselor who's guided thousands of families through these years. Prepared, not pressured.
The big calls, handled well
Choosing a high school.A framework and the right questions — never invented rankings.
The algebra-track decision.What it actually opens up, and when it can wait.
The year plan before high school.Protect reading, math fundamentals, and one activity they love.
🌱 Everything Greetly learns carries forward — when high school starts, one click turns this into their full college counselor: roadmap, tutors, and all.
Built for application season
When applications get real, generic advice stops helping. Greetly turns your student's record into a strategy — and keeps the whole family looking at the same honest picture.
Your Application Story
Greetly proposes two or three ways to position your student's real record — and the family picks the story together. That choice then shapes every essay angle, plan, and college conversation.
The AO Read
For each college on the list: how your student's file actually reads to an admissions officer at that school — argued from that college's own published priorities and admit data, not vibes.
The Essay Studio
A real writing coach: brainstorming, outline stress-tests, and line-level feedback in the student's own words — it coaches the writing but never writes it. Plus a deadline tracker for every college and a printable Family Briefing.
Don't type it. Say it.
Greetly isn't a text box — she's a counselor you can actually talk to. Real back-and-forth voice conversations, every day, on every plan — including Free.
✅ Mid-conversation, Greetly pauses and looks numbers up in each college's own published data — she never quotes a statistic from memory.
Why voice matters
Thinking out loud beats staring at a blank page.Stress, big decisions, “where do I even start” — easier said than typed.
Voice sessions every day, on every tier.Even Free includes daily voice time with the counselor.
Every spoken session is remembered.She picks up Tuesday's call right where it left off.
Built for trust, from day one
See exactly what you'll get
The sample roadmap above and the Sunday email below are the real product — no account, no sales call. Your student starts free; upgrade only when Greetly has visibly earned it.
Maya's week at Greetly · 2 wins, 1 heads-up
✅ Finished her first timed PSAT practice section — baseline set.
📌 Heads-up: AP World unit test Friday. She's set a 3-evening study plan around Tuesday's robotics meeting.
💡 You told Greetly she focuses best in short bursts — her study sessions now run 20 minutes.
You're seeing progress, not her conversations.
“I built Greetly because I needed it. Between AP classes, squash, and figuring out college, I kept wishing someone would just tell me what to do next. Most students never get a private counselor. Now every student can have one.”
Built on what great counselors actually do
A chatbot will confidently invent an admit rate — and forget your kid the moment the chat ends. Greetly is different by construction: every college number comes from a verified data layer, every strategy comes from playbooks written by our human counselor team, and every session is remembered.
Expert playbooks, not guesses
When to decide your testing lane, how to build depth over breadth, when essay season really starts — strategies written by real counselors, applied to your student's plan.
AP & SAT tutors built in
Real tutoring, not answers: a diagnostic finds weak skills, timed drills and free-response feedback fix them, and pacing is built backward from the actual test date on your student's calendar.
Learns how your child learns
Example-first kid? Greetly leads with examples. Short-burst learner? Small chunks, quick wins. Never tested, scored, or labeled — it simply teaches your kid their way, and you can add what you see at home.
Maya: “Greetly, how do I learn best?”
Greetly: “You like seeing an example before the rule — so that's how I start. You focus best in short bursts, so we work in 20-minute chunks. And once you've got something, you'd rather move forward than repeat it — so I keep the pace up. That's you, Maya. 😊”
Try that with a regular chatbot.
Fair questions, straight answers
Is it actually free?
Yes — students get the full counselor free for 3 months, no credit card. After that, everything they built (roadmap, plans, history) stays theirs to view, and keeping the daily coaching is what Greetly Family is for — free right now for founding families. Wellbeing check-ins and safety are never paywalled and never expire.
My school has counselors. Why Greetly?
The average US school counselor serves ~400 students. Greetly doesn't replace them — it gives your student the daily attention no human could scale, and makes counselor time count.
What do parents actually see?
A weekly progress recap and deadline heads-ups — not your student's conversations. Support without surveillance.
Is 6th grade too early to think about college?
It's too early to optimize — and exactly the right time to think lightly. At this age three things matter: reading, math fundamentals, and one activity your kid genuinely loves. Greetly helps you protect those and make the handful of real decisions (like high school choice) well — and tells you honestly when the answer is “your kid is fine, relax.”

Add it to Free or Family, month by month — most families run it for the season before their test dates. Diagnostics that find weak skills, timed drills, free-response feedback, and pacing built backward from your student's real exam calendar. Fair use: 30 tutoring hours a month — more tutoring than most families buy from a human tutor (at $60–120/hour) in a year. Included with Premium.
Fair use & Premium terms
Fair use: each day, Free includes up to 40 AI coaching exchanges and 3 voice sessions; Family raises that to 250 exchanges and 20 voice sessions, and Premium to 500 and 40. Roadmap rebuilds: 3 per month on Free, 12 on Family, 40 on Premium. Tutoring: Free and Family include 3 hours a month; Tutor+ raises that to 30 hours a month (Premium includes Tutor+). Limits reset — in practice far more than even the busiest students use; if your student genuinely needs more, just tell us. Free covers the first 3 months and carries an overall AI allowance for the trial — generous enough that in practice the calendar, not the allowance, is what ends it. Either way, everything the student built stays viewable free, forever. Premium includes up to 6 hours of human counselor time per year (sessions, plan reviews, and final-draft essay reviews combined); extra counselor hours can be added anytime.
Greetly Premium is billed yearly with no multi-year commitment — take it for application season alone, or run it across all four high-school years, and stop anytime. Founding families on the waitlist lock in $999/year (instead of $1,499) for as long as they stay subscribed — the counselor work compounds across the years, so starting early is rewarded, never required. Free and Family also carry no commitment of any kind: Family is billed yearly and you can stop at any time.
