Best of all, they have a ‘freemium’ plan for new users.
I’ll get to that later in this article but for a start, let’s look at more on what this ed-tech startup offers.
The name to note is ‘Explico’.
Explico was co-founded 3 years ago by Ashutosh Shukla and Sandesh Shetty, with the aim of using AI and machine learning to create an assessment-based educational system.
And mind you, not just any assessment-based learning but one that is tailored to your child’s needs.
How it works
Supposedly you’re a new user, you can sign up for free under their ‘freemium’ plan and have your child attempt Explico’s free diagnostic assessments Set A & Set B.
These diagnostic assessments are prepared by Explico’s teachers and use AI to assess your child’s proficiency in a particular subject.
Upon completion of the assessments, Explico will recommend live sessions based on their analysis.
The good part is that even as a ‘freemium’ user, you will be entitled to 2 free live sessions (worth 10 credits) so you and your child can have a firsthand experience of how it works.
Going a step further
Like what you’re seeing and think Explico will benefit your child?
You can step up your game from the ‘freemium’ plan to ‘credit-based’, ‘assessment-only’, or ‘all-access’ plans.
Prices range from $19.95 to $1450.
I’ll put it down here for easy reference:
If you’ve got a UOB card, good news! Use your UOB card for payment and enter coupon code <UOBEX2023> for 15% off your purchase.
You’re welcome. 😉
Which plan should you go for?
If you’re on a budget, then maybe the ‘credit-based’ plan would make sense.
It comes in bundle credits of 5, 20, 50, and 80, which the latter will allow you to save up to 15%. Since they can be shared among siblings, it would be good if you have more than one child to worry about.
For parents who believe in the power of practice, then the ‘assessment-only’ plan at $125 for one subject and $280 for three subjects would be perfect.
The only downside is that it’s for a specific child (just one). And the same goes for the ‘all-access’ plan.
If you’ve not started your child on any form of tuition at all, the ‘all-access’ plan is actually worth an investment.
Think about it this way: one subject will cost you $550 with a validity of 12 months if you sign up with Explico. That’s roughly $45.83/month and way much lower than it would cost to hire a private tutor (ex/current MOE teacher) at $50/hour long-term.

Doesn’t sound too bad, huh?
But ultimately, the decision lies with you. Don’t forget to speak with your child to see what he/she thinks about using Explico as a study buddy for the long term. To give you peace of mind, Explico has recently bagged US$1.4 million in pre-series A funding from key investors such as the renowned Mavis Tutorial Centre. So be rest assured that they are here to stay and expand.
