Is Skillo really free?
Yes. Skillo is completely free for Australian students. No signup, no email, no credit card, no hidden costs. Practice NAPLAN, selective school entry, and scholarship test questions across Year 3 to Year 9 without creating an account or providing any payment information.
What does ‘free’ actually mean on Skillo?
Free on Skillo means exactly what it says. There is no cost at any point — not to start, not to continue, and not for any feature. You do not need to enter a credit card to access questions. There is no question limit that resets unless you upgrade. There is no premium content behind a paywall. Every NAPLAN, selective school, and scholarship practice question on Skillo is available to every student from day one, at no cost. Free is the product, not a trial.
How does Skillo stay free?
Skillo Tech Pty Ltd is a Melbourne-based Australian company. The product is free for individual students because the business model does not depend on charging families. Skillo’s planned revenue comes from licensing anonymised, aggregated, non-PII educational data to publishers and educational test developers. No student identity or personal information is included in any data product. Individual students and families will always have access to the full practice experience at no cost.
Are there ads or sponsored content?
No. Skillo does not display advertising on any practice page. There is no sponsored content, no promoted questions, and no third-party advertising network embedded in the product. The practice experience is uninterrupted. Skillo does not use advertising SDKs that could track students across the web. The only analytics tool used is Google Analytics in aggregate mode, with no User ID or cross-site tracking enabled.
Is there a paid version?
No. There is currently one version of Skillo, and it is free. Skillo is not building a freemium product where the free tier is designed to push users toward a paid upgrade. If the business model changes in the future, this page will be updated and existing users will receive clear, plain-language notice before any change takes effect. Right now, there is no paid version, no premium tier, and no upgrade path.

Will Skillo always be free for students?
As a matter of design, individual students will always have free access to practice questions on Skillo. The platform is not built around converting family users into paying subscribers.
Is there a premium tier my child can upgrade to?
No. There is no premium tier, no upgrade button, and no feature locked behind a paywall. Your child has access to everything Skillo offers from the moment they open the site.
Does Skillo charge schools?
Individual students and families are free. Skillo may offer paid features for schools and teachers in the future — such as assignment setting and class-level reporting — but these are commercial features for institutions, not for individual families.
Why doesn’t Skillo charge parents?
Skillo was built on the premise that exam preparation resources should be equally available to all Australian families, regardless of what they can afford to spend each month. Charging parents would undermine that purpose.
Where can I see Skillo’s funding or ownership?
Skillo is privately owned by its founder, Arvind Bhatt. There are no external investors or parent companies. Skillo Tech Pty Ltd is an Australian-registered company (ABN 29 698 498 234, ACN 698 498 234). You can read more on the Why Skillo page.
