Payments

An AI tutor you can actually pay for from Bangladesh

Yes — Porphy accepts bKash. You top up in taka through SSLCommerz using bKash, Nagad, Rocket or any local debit or credit card. No international card is involved at any point, there is no monthly subscription, and every new account starts with 2,000 credits free — enough for a full course, time with the voice tutor and dozens of questions, without paying anything.

Why most AI tools don't work here

The problem was never the price. It's that the payment screen asks for something a student in Dhaka doesn't have.

bKash, Nagad, Rocket or any local debit card, through SSLCommerz. No dollar-endorsed card, and nobody else's card to borrow.
Monthly subscription in dollars
Prepaid credits. Nothing recurs, nothing is stored, nothing to cancel — and a month you don't study costs you zero.
You pay before you know if it helps
2,000 credits free on signup, with no card asked for. You reach a payment screen only if you choose to.
You can't tell where the money went

Questions about paying

Yes. Porphy takes bKash directly through SSLCommerz, along with Nagad, Rocket and any local debit or credit card. You top up in taka, no international card is involved at any point, and you do not need to borrow anyone's card to sign up. Most international AI tools cannot do this — they require a card that supports foreign currency, which is the reason so many students in Bangladesh never get past the payment screen.

No. You get 2,000 credits free when you sign up and no card is asked for at any point in that process. That is enough for a full researched course, a dozen minutes with the voice tutor, ten MCQ sets and forty questions about a chapter — with credits left over. You only reach a payment screen if you choose to top up later.

No. Porphy is prepaid credits, not a subscription. Nothing recurs, no card is stored, and there is nothing to cancel. A month where you do not study costs you nothing, and credits never expire. If your balance empties, the AI features simply pause until you decide to add more.

1,000 credits cost about ৳125. In practice: a full researched course on a subject runs roughly 600–1,200 credits, an MCQ set or flashcard deck 10–30, a minute with the voice tutor 20–60, and one question about your chapter 1–5 credits. Credits are metered at the AI provider's own list price with no markup added, and every call is itemised on your usage page so you can show exactly where the money went.

100 credits, about ৳13. There is no minimum bundle you have to buy and no pressure to spend more than you need — you can add a small amount before an exam and nothing after it.

SSLCommerz is Bangladesh Bank–licensed and is the gateway behind a large share of local e-commerce. Porphy never sees or stores your bKash PIN or card number: the checkout happens on the gateway's own hosted page, and Porphy is told only whether the payment succeeded.

Yes, two ways. Every new account starts with 2,000 credits free. On top of that, inviting a friend gives you 500 credits and them 1,000 when they join — so a study group that signs up together starts with considerably more than it would alone.

Start without paying anything

2,000 credits, no card asked for. Top up with bKash later, only if you want to.
