HELP: What score is sent with free ACT score report? October score release?

So, what I am saying is that the four free score reports I assumed they were the superscore being sent - not sure why, but I just made that assumption and took advantage of them for our safety school applications for his last ACT and did not think about it - they were sent to those safety schools with their apps about a month ago - he was admitted to two of the schools just did not think about it at all.

DS then just took the October ACT since he wanted to improve his score just a tad and listed his very selective ED school for one of his free score reports (after about a week after taking the test you can no longer edit or cancel who those free four you selected are, and he had passed that week’s mark) - again, we assumed it was the superscore so we thought who cares?

But then, I heard elsewhere that it is NOT the superscore, and it is that test date only. Obviously, that would matter for this selective school since it is not the super score, and his score may be lower from that single test date.

Turns out, though, after checking with the safety schools that we sent the previous four reports to and calling an ACT supervisor that it is in fact the superscore or possibly ALL scores - but not that date alone. I was having trouble finding ANY information about this online, including on the ACT website- there is no clear answer anywhere, and the lower-ranked reps at the ACT hotline do not know and gave conflicting answers.

Four free score reports over 2 tests is 144 dollars saved, and that is important to me even though we are well off.
