Reading any of CB’s 83 modules is free forever. Quizzes, AI volume, and the bedside toolkit are paid. A DPT student isn’t asked to pay for a clinician toolkit; a working clinician isn’t asked to pay for a study scheduler. CB Business is a separate sister product — not bundled here.
For anyone curious about PT, or studying casually. No signup, no card, no expiry.
Active studying through DPT school. Unlimited quizzes + flashcards + AI + a study planner that knows what you’re weak on.
The toolkit you keep open on your second monitor. Faster docs, faster look-ups, faster scoring. If it saves you 30 min/week, it pays for itself in week one.
The honest line-by-line. Each row tells you exactly what you get on each tier.

Annual = paid once. Monthly = paid monthly. Cancel from your account page. We don’t hide a renewal in fine print.
Student tier: 14 days. Pro tier: 30 days. If CB doesn’t fit your workflow, email us and we refund — no questions.
We supply an itemized receipt + course descriptions you can submit to HR for continuing-education or practice-development reimbursement. Whether it’s covered depends on your employer’s policy.
Yes, really. Reading all 83 modules is free forever. The paywall is on active studying tools (unlimited quizzes, flashcards, AI volume) and the clinician toolkit (HEP Builder, voice scribe, SOAP audit). The reason: a student should be able to learn from CB content for free and only pay when they want CB to help them study faster. We’d rather have 10,000 happy free readers and 500 paying users than 1,000 grumpy users who feel paywalled out of basic content.
CB Student. With .edu verification you pay $79/yr ($6.58/mo) — less than half a Scorebuilders book. You get unlimited quizzes + flashcards + AI tutor + spaced repetition + a study plan that knows your weak topics.
Pro. Student gets you the study side; Pro is what unlocks the bedside toolkit — Pre-Shift Checklist with save state, HEP Builder, AI voice scribe, SOAP audit, outcome-measure scoring with patient history, Medicare-defensible documentation phrases. At $19.99/mo, if CB saves you 30 minutes per week, it pays for itself in week one.
It depends on your employer’s policy. We supply an itemized receipt and course descriptions you can submit for continuing-education or practice-development reimbursement — but we don’t guarantee any specific system will cover it. Check with your HR or education-budget administrator.
No. CB Business is a separate sister product for cash-pay PT private-practice owners. Lightweight EMR: roster, schedule, notes, invoicing. Its own site, its own billing. CB Pro is for the working clinician; CB Business is for the practice owner. Many people will use both but they’re billed separately so you only pay for what you use.
Yes, anytime. From your Account page, click "Manage subscription" — the link takes you to your Stripe customer portal where you can cancel, change tier, or update payment method. We don’t hide cancellation behind a phone call.
For PT schools or hospital systems wanting 10+ seats, yes — contact us. Volume pricing kicks in at 10 seats, with admin dashboard + usage analytics. Below 10 seats, individual subscriptions are the right fit.
Honest answer: AI inference has real per-message cost. Capping daily messages keeps the pricing sustainable for both of us. The caps are generous (5/50/200 per day across tiers) — for context, even a power user typically uses 5–15 messages on a heavy study day. If you’re hitting the cap regularly on Student, upgrade to Pro for 4× the headroom.
