What's the difference between monthly and the study pass?
Both unlock the exact same Pro access. Monthly is $39/mo and you cancel anytime. The study pass is $129 once and runs about six months with no recurring charge — better if you're studying toward a specific exam date.
How much is free?
A generous sample — 20 practice questions in every subject, the daily question and streak, the MMC countdown and renewal timeline, up to 3 credentials, and the public NMC processing-time tracker. No card required. Pro unlocks the full 2,000+ question bank, the Exam Readiness Score, the interactive Chart Plotting Lab, spaced repetition, timed mock exams, and the credential tools.
Can I cancel the monthly plan anytime?
Yes. Cancel through Stripe billing — your account drops to Free at the end of the billing period and your data is preserved. The one-time pass simply lapses at the end of its term.
What if my company gives me an enrollment code?
Enter it on the register page or in your account settings. It activates Pro-level access immediately, billed to your company, not you.
Is this affiliated with the USCG or NMC?
No. BinnacleCrew is an independent study and credential tool built by a licensed USCG captain. Questions are original practice items, not the official NMC database. Always verify all data before submitting to the NMC.
