Smarty PANCE price by subscription length and what the QBank adds

Smarty PANCE sells four all-access passes and they differ only in length, plus one add-on. The Two Week All Access Pass is $55, the Three Month pass is $65, the One Year pass is $79, and the One Year pass with ReelDx is $99. Those are the figures on the pricing table at smartypance.com/sign-up on October 14, 2026, and the page says the one-year membership is discounted for a limited time. The site states that every membership includes all End of Rotation, PANCE, PANRE and PANRE-LA courses, unlimited exams with retakes and full QBank access, so a cheaper pass does not lock you out of any content. It just ends sooner.

• Two weeks: $55
• Three months: $65
• One year: $79
• One year plus ReelDx: $99

The price ladder is unusually flat. One year costs $24 more than two weeks and $14 more than three months, so it works out to about $6.58 a month against $21.67 a month on the three-month pass. The longer pass also protects you against the calendar. NCCPA lets you sit the PANCE only once in any 90-day period, so a candidate who fails on a three-month pass would usually be buying again before a retake. A year also covers the whole clinical year if you are still in school, which matters because the same pass includes the End of Rotation exams. The two-week pass makes sense only for a PA-C doing a final cram before PANRE.

• $14 more than three months buys nine extra months
• About $6.58 a month on the one-year pass
• Covers a retake 90 days later
• Two weeks suits a last-minute PANRE cram

The headline item is the Smarty PANCE QBank, which the site describes as 5,000+ board-style questions with adaptive practice, analytics by organ system and topic, custom quizzes and mock exams. Around it sit 14 NCCPA blueprint courses with more than 450 topic modules, five 225-question practice exams, a 300-question timed virtual PANCE, seven End of Rotation exams and review courses, an End of Curriculum course, audio and video lectures with Joe Gilboy, PA-C, the premium Audio PANCE and PANRE podcast with over 12 hours of questions, board review tables and flashcard sets. Picmonic integration is listed on every pass. The site menu also sells single blueprint courses for $19.99, so buying four of them already costs more than a year of everything.

• 5,000+ question QBank with analytics
• 14 blueprint courses, 450+ topic modules
• Seven EOR exams and review courses
• Audio, flashcards and review tables

The $99 pass adds the ReelDx patient video library to the same one-year membership. ReelDx clips are short real-patient cases with exam findings, imaging and lab data, and Smarty PANCE has embedded them in its blueprint lessons. On its own ReelDx costs $249 a year, a figure Smarty PANCE quotes on its sign-up page, so the bundle is a real discount if you would buy it anyway. For PANCE scoring the case is weaker. The exam is written questions, and the QBank, practice exams and blueprint courses that drive your score are identical on the $79 and $99 passes. Buy ReelDx if you learn better from seeing patients, not because the board needs it.

• Same content plus real-patient video cases
• $20 more than the $79 pass
• ReelDx alone is $249 a year
• Optional for PANCE scoring

Smarty PANCE has the most generous refund terms in this group, and they are stated plainly on its refund policy page. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, it issues a full refund within 60 days of purchase. If you do not pass the PANCE or PANRE, it will refund your purchase for up to one year or extend your access by a complimentary 12 months, your choice. There is no completion requirement printed on that page, unlike Blueprint's guarantee, which ties a refund to finishing the bank. Requests go through a form on the same page, and the owner asks you to open a support ticket first if the problem is a technical one.

• Full refund within 60 days for any reason
• Fail the boards and get a refund or 12 free months
• No printed completion requirement
• Requests go through the refund form

Standard Smarty PANCE passes are fixed-term memberships, not subscriptions. The member FAQ says your access ends at the close of the period you bought, so there is nothing to cancel and no surprise charge. Members who need more time buy a discounted extension of two weeks, three months or one year from the renewal page or from My Account while logged in, and the added time stacks on the same account. Gift checkouts exist for one-year memberships, with or without ReelDx. The site also lists a military and veteran program, group rates and institutional pricing for PA programs, each handled on its own page.

• Fixed term, no auto-renewal
• Discounted extensions for members
• Military, group and institutional pricing
• Gift memberships for one year

Smarty PANCE is the cheapest serious option by a wide margin. Blueprint's PANCE Qbank, the former Rosh Review, is $259 for three months or $289 for a year with about 3,800 questions. UWorld's PA QBank starts at $309 for 2,050+ questions with illustrated explanations. Hippo's AAPA PANCE and PANRE Review with its 2,250+ question Qbank is $495 for a year, down from $620, and includes up to 262 AAPA Category 1 CME credits, which matters to a PA-C recertifying. What the higher prices buy is mostly polish and depth of explanation. Many candidates use Smarty PANCE for breadth and the blueprint courses, then add one premium bank for the final six weeks.

• Blueprint PANCE Qbank: $259 to $289
• UWorld PA QBank: from $309
• Hippo Review plus Qbank: $495
• Smarty PANCE one year: $79

Any fixed bank runs out. By the second pass through 5,000 questions you start remembering answers, and the percentage on your dashboard stops telling you whether you can handle a new vignette. Aspirants.ai writes new PANCE-style clinical vignettes on the organ system and task area where you are weakest, explains why each wrong option is wrong, and answers follow-up questions at any hour, which is the part a static explanation cannot do. It costs from $24 a month billed yearly or $49 month to month, and you can cancel any time. Use the quiz above to try a few PANCE questions before you decide.

• New vignettes once the bank repeats
• Every answer choice explained
• From $24/mo billed yearly, cancel any time
