Prices on this page come straight from our live plan settings, so they are current whenever you read it. The more useful question is what the money buys - because the gap between a ten-dollar document and a real assessment is not a discount, it is a difference in kind.
Price shopping is reasonable and comparing on price alone is not, because the products are not the same product. One is an assessment; the other is a PDF, and they are advertised in identical words.

These figures come from the same settings that drive checkout, so they are never out of date on this page.

Where the money goes
The distinction between these two columns is the whole difference between a document that survives scrutiny and one that does not.
The arithmetic
The cost of a document that fails is not the price you paid for it.
Nil
A refusal leaves every animal-related line on your statement exactly as it stood, and you have paid twice for the privilege.
2 min
Every state publishes a public register. Property managers use it, and so can you before buying.
2x
Buy the cheap one, get refused, then pay properly - so the total is the real price plus the wasted one.
None of this argues for paying more than something is worth. It argues for checking the one thing that determines whether a document works at all, which costs nothing.
One test
Price comparison across this market is nearly useless, because the products are not the same product. One is an assessment; the other is a PDF. They are advertised in the same words and priced as though they compete.
There is a single question that separates them, and it works on any website in under a minute.
Which licensed clinician will assess me, and does their licence cover my state?
Ask before paying, not afterwards
A service built around real clinicians answers this immediately, because the answer is their entire proposition. A certificate mill deflects - it will describe its process, its guarantee, its reviews, its speed, anything but a named professional and a licence that can be checked.
The deflection is the answer. Everything else about price stops mattering once you know which of the two you are dealing with.
Asked before buying
Every figure shown here, and on the pricing page, is read directly from live plan settings. None of it was keyed into an article and forgotten about. The fee buys a licensed professional's attention and the judgement that follows it, which is the one component no software can supply.
Because no assessment took place. A document generated by a checkout process costs almost nothing to produce, which is exactly why it is priced that way and why property managers have learned to recognise it.
Only if a licensed clinician assessed you and their licence covers your state. Where both are true the price is irrelevant. Where either is false, no price makes the document work.
The screening comes first and carries no charge. Money changes hands only when you elect to go on to an evaluation, which means nobody is charged for hearing a no.
That policy sits on the pricing page precisely so it can be read in advance of a decision rather than after one. Any service that never declines anyone has removed the question by removing the assessment.
It costs nothing, since neither service animals nor emotional support animals are registered anywhere. Any charge described that way is a fee for a document with no issuing authority behind it.
A review after twelve months is usual because leasing offices expect current documentation. Revisiting the question with somebody already holding your background takes less work than the original appointment.
Because the expense there is training, measured in months or years, not documentation. The two are not comparable, and a service quoting a single low figure for a trained service dog is not describing training.
The assessment concerns you and your circumstances, not a headcount of animals. Where a second animal addresses something distinct, that is part of the same clinical picture.
The plans on the pricing page state what is included. Where an add-on exists it is listed as one, priced separately and never applied without you choosing it.
No fee attaches to the screening and no payment details are collected. Payment only enters the picture if you decide to go on to an evaluation.
