Know exactly what each option includes.
Understand authorship, doctrine, privacy, exports, hosted links, and review.
Read all questionsWhat does the $9.99 Portfolio Kit include?
It includes every candidate builder, doctrinal starting profiles and compatibility notices, up to ten active projects, manual versions, résumé templates, interview tools, the portfolio composer, DOCX/PDF/ZIP exports, and preparation of hosting-ready snapshots. It includes no ministry.bio-hosted URL.
Is the $9.99 Portfolio Kit a subscription?
No. The Portfolio Kit is a one-time purchase. You can continue creating, revising, versioning, composing, and exporting without a subscription. Only ministry.bio-hosted links and the hosted profile require the optional $6 monthly subscription.
What does $6/month Portfolio Hosting include?
It keeps revocable recipient-specific portfolio links and one public or unlisted ministry.bio profile online. Private links can use fixed snapshots, passcodes, expiration, download controls, and aggregate views. Hosting adds no builders, exports, projects, or review credits.
What happens when Portfolio Hosting ends?
Every ministry.bio private portfolio link and profile URL goes offline after the paid period. Your Portfolio Kit access, private drafts, saved snapshots, and downloaded files remain. Resubscribing does not republish anything until you deliberately review and reactivate it.
What is included in Portfolio Review?
Portfolio Review is available by inquiry. A proposed scope may include a structured review of the portfolio copy you submit, prioritized section-level and inline feedback, and revision support. Availability, timing, and pricing are confirmed before review work begins. Portfolio Hosting is not included.
