GraphChinese pricing: $49 once, for life
GraphChinese costs $49, paid once. That buys lifetime access to the whole course, HSK 0 through HSK 6, and every update after it. There is no subscription, no renewal date and no second tier.
What is included
- All 829 topics on the knowledge graph, each unlocked only when its prerequisites are proven.
- Flashcard decks scheduled with FSRS spaced repetition, so reviews arrive just before you forget.
- Graded readings across every level, with audio that highlights each character as it is read.
- Character writing with stroke order, simplified or traditional, with pinyin above the characters when you want it.
- Conversation training from the first lesson, and every update the course gets later.
What you can try before paying
The interactive demo on the home page runs real lessons from every HSK level. The HSK placement test, the dictionary, the grammar reference and the free tools such as the HSK level checker need no account. If the demo does not suit how you learn, you will know before spending anything.
Refunds
Email hi@verticalchinese.com. The terms say it plainly: we would rather refund you than have you feel stuck.
Against paying monthly
A subscription costs less on day one and more by month six. At $10 a month, five months passes $49. Reaching HSK 4 takes most self-studiers longer than that, so the question is whether you will still be studying in a year. The comparison hub sets the other apps beside this one, with each rival's price and the date it was checked.
Not sure yet? The placement test takes a few minutes and tells you which HSK level to start from.
