The Power Bundle is designed for grades 3–5, with content expanding through grade 8. Listed learning bundles cover homeschool, classroom, and school settings; each costs $109, paid once, with different educator, student, and card-deck capacities. The CoLabs+ Digital Notebook is $179, paid once. MindLabs also lists a free plan and paid access from $39.
