School ERP

Pricing

Pay per student, per year. Nothing hidden.

Three plans, published right here. Prices exclude 18% GST, and we show the GST-inclusive amount too, because most schools cannot claim the credit.

Billing questions

Something else about the bill? WhatsApp us and a real person will reply.

How is the student count worked out?

We bill on the number of enrolled students at the start of your academic session, or the plan minimum if that is higher. Students admitted later in the year are added at the same rate for the months left.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Setup, Excel import and online training are included in every plan. Moving data out of another ERP costs ₹10,000 + GST once, only if we need to convert its export.

Can we try it before paying?

Yes. Click through the sample-school demo on this site now, with no signup. After a live demo, we can set up a free trial with a sample of your own data. We never ask for card details for a trial.

Do you issue a GST invoice?

Yes. Every payment to us comes with a GST invoice showing 18% GST, so your accounts stay clean.

Is there a lock-in? What if we stop?

Plans are yearly, with no long-term contract. If you decide not to renew, export all your data to Excel before your plan ends. On your request, we then delete it from our servers.

Who pays the gateway charges on parents' online payments?

Your school decides. The gateway charges a fee on online payments; you can absorb it or add it to the bill as a convenience fee. Cash, cheque and DD at the counter carry no gateway charge.
