Free review stays local; Pro is a one-time unlock for Calendar and Reminder export. DeadlineNest: Class Planner helps students turn syllabus PDFs, images, or pasted text into a private semester plan. Import a syllabus, review every detected date with its source snippet, confirm only the rows you trust, then export to an .ics file or write confirmed rows to Calendar and Reminders with a one-time Pro unlock. The app is local-first in v1. It does not require an account, does not upload syllabus files, and does not write to Calendar or Reminders until you choose a target and confirm. Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase ($6.99) that unlocks Calendar and Reminder export — there is no subscription and no recurring charge. Use Restore Purchases to re-enable Pro on a new device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pupil at none against DeadlineNest's 1. DeadlineNest's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
