Certena Free vs Pro: Exactly What You Get
We would rather you understand exactly what you are getting than upgrade by accident. So here is the honest breakdown of Certena Free vs Pro — no dark patterns, no fake urgency.
What is free, forever
The free plan is genuinely useful on its own. You get:
- Unlimited practice across every subject, in all practice modes — untimed, timed and custom.
- Chapter notes and the book reader.
- A detailed explanation for every question.
- One full mock exam per subject — enough to experience the real format and diagnose your weak spots.
- Spaced-repetition revision, up to 20 cards a day.
For a lot of candidates, that is enough to prepare well. We mean that.
What Pro adds
Pro is for when you want to prepare at scale and know precisely where you stand:
- Unlimited full mock exams on every subject — retake until you consistently pass, not just once. (Why that matters: full mocks are the fastest way to pass.)
- Full weak-areas analysis across every subject, not just your single worst area — so you always know exactly where to spend your next hour.
- A custom, multi-subject study plan with per-paper exam dates and target-date pacing. (See how the planner works.)
- Unlimited spaced-repetition revision — no daily cap for heavy revision runs near exam day.
- Priority support.
What it costs
- Pro Monthly: Rs 899/month.
- Pro Annual: Rs 2,999/year — roughly Rs 250/month, the best value if you are more than a few months from your exam.
- Just one subject? You can unlock a single subject for Rs 250/month from that subject's page — handy if you only have one paper left.
Cancel anytime. You can cancel your subscription in the app; you keep full Pro access until the end of the period you have already paid for, and you are welcome to resubscribe whenever you like.
How to decide
- Studying casually, or just starting? Stay on Free. Practise everything, take your one mock per subject, and revise daily.
- Close to exam day, or preparing seriously across several papers? Pro's unlimited mocks, full weak-area analysis and custom plan are built for exactly that push.
Either way, you can start today without paying anything. Compare the plans, or just start free and upgrade only if and when it makes sense for you.
