Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free to sign up?

Yes — creating an account is completely free and requires no credit card. You get 10 credits instantly to try AI chat, calculators, qualification search, and all other tools.

How do credits work?

Every action costs 1 credit — starting a chat conversation (follow-up questions in the same chat are free), running a qualification search, creating a checklist, or unlocking a tool or training video. Tools and videos only cost a credit the first time; once unlocked, they're yours.

Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire — buy a pack and use it at your own pace, with no monthly fees and nothing to cancel.

Why credits instead of a subscription?

We believe you should only pay for what you use. Many providers check funding rules occasionally — not every day. Credits mean you're never paying for a subscription you barely use, and there's nothing to cancel if you take a break.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through our secure payment partner, Stripe. You can view your payment methods and invoices any time from your account settings.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

Funding Fox is specialised for FE and skills funding. Our AI is trained on official DfE funding documents and provides accurate, cited answers with page references. Unlike generic AI, we focus exclusively on FE, HE, skills and apprenticeship funding rules, plus specialist calculators and compliance tools.

Can I try before I buy?

Yes! Every new account gets 10 free credits — enough to try questions, searches, and tools before buying a pack. No card required.

How up-to-date is the funding information?

Our database includes the latest DfE funding rules and guidance documents. We monitor official publications daily and update our system when new rules are released to ensure you always have current information.

How much time will this save me?

Instead of spending hours searching through PDFs and funding manuals, get instant answers with source citations. Most users find answers in under 30 seconds versus 30+ minutes of manual research.
