Yes! We will always offer a generous free version of Flexspeak for professionals. Most functionalities of the platform that you've grown to love remain free, with new additional features being incorporated into our Studio tiers.
Yes, we do! AAC users and families can purchase Flexspeak as a standalone AAC app with all the great features specific to AAC communication, including a robust vocabulary set, various grid sizes, customization, and multiple languages. For schools using Volume Purchase Program (VPP), you can purchase Flexspeak VPP on the App Store.
Note: VPP licenses provide core AAC functionality. For privacy and compliance purposes, VPP does not include professional management features, AI generations, assessment tools, or collaboration tools by default unless you upgrade to Studio by contacting our sales team.
Each professional login purchased will grant 10 AAC user accounts. However, the total number of AAC user accounts can be used across all professional members in the team or organization.
Example: A professional login that is part of a team or school is not restricted to only use 10 of those accounts. If you purchase 5 professional logins, you will be granted 50 AAC user accounts. One professional can use 15 of those user accounts if their caseload requires it.
We appreciate your investment in Flexspeak! If your school has already purchased VPP licenses and wants to upgrade to Studio for the full suite of professional features, we'll credit the amount you've spent on VPP licenses toward your Studio plan. Contact us for a customized quote that reflects your VPP investment.
We would love to bring all the features of Studio to you and your colleagues. Contact us to unlock all features, get detailed analytics and insights, and add exciting administrative controls and customizations for your school or district.
Both apps provide the same core AAC functionality, but they have different distribution models:
Flexspeak VPP is for schools and institutions using Apple's Volume Purchase Program. It's a one-time purchase for bulk deployment without trials or paywalls.
Flexspeak AAC is free to download with a 30-day trial, after which users need to purchase a lifetime license to have continued access. Professionals with active Professional or Studio accounts bypass the paywall entirely.
Additional features like user management, collaboration tools, curriculum resources, and unlimited AI usage are available in Studio.
