Is Cathoven IELTS free?

Cathoven has a free tier and a Premium tier. The Language Hub tools — CEFR text analysis, Level Adaptor, Reading Generator and Writing Reviser — are free with daily limits, no credit card required. Full IELTS preparation (diagnostic level tests, Writing and Speaking scored against the official IELTS criteria with detailed feedback, 50+ mock tests, a personalised study plan and the personal AI tutor) is Premium: a weekly, monthly or 3-month subscription, or pay only for the days you need — cancel anytime.
