Help Us Keep IB Match Free for All Students
IB Match was built by an IB graduate who wished this tool existed. We're committed to keeping it free for students — forever. Your support helps us cover infrastructure costs and continue improving the platform.
Why Support Us?
A Non-Commercial Project with Real Costs
IB Match is built with love, not profit motives. We don't show ads, sell your data, or charge students. But running a platform that serves students worldwide comes with real expenses.
- Infrastructure Costs
Hosting, databases, and CDN services cost money. As our user base grows, so do these costs.
- Search & Matching
Our matching algorithm and search APIs require ongoing investment to deliver instant results for students.
- Continuous Improvement
We're constantly adding new universities, improving the algorithm, and building features you request.
- Free for Students
We believe every IB student deserves access to quality university guidance, regardless of their financial situation.
