PRICING PTKit offers a free Bronze plan. Unlocking Silver or Gold tier requires an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. See "Plans" below for full pricing.

One tap during client onboarding enables evidence-based adaptations for clients with ADHD, autism, dyspraxia (DCD), dyslexia, anxiety, depression, trauma history, epilepsy, migraine, or concussion. The AI then tailors program design, communication style, between-session check-ins, and safety planning.
