Pricing

Simple, Per-Student Pricing

Pay for what your school actually has — billed monthly or termly per enrolled student, or save with an annual plan.

Billing Cycles

Choose how you'd like to be billed.

Four billing cycles, one per-student rate — monthly, every three months, every six months, or yearly (with a discount). Your invoice is recalculated against your actual enrolled student count at every renewal, so you only ever pay for who's really on the roll.

Monthly
GHS 1.00/student/mo
Billed every month against your live student count. Best for schools that want maximum flexibility.
3-Monthly
GHS 3.00/student/quarter
Pay once every three months — reduces invoices while keeping a short commitment window.
6-Monthly
GHS 6.00/student/6 mo
One invoice every six months — aligns with two academic terms. Fewer admin touchpoints.
Yearly
GHS 11.40/student/yr
Save 5% vs monthly — billed once a year. Best value.

Plus a one-time GHS 50.00 setup/processing fee when your school first goes live. You pick your billing cycle right on the sign-up form.

Common Questions

Pricing FAQ

How is my bill calculated?

At every renewal we count exactly how many students are active in your school's database that day and multiply by the per-student rate — no manual reconciliation needed.

Can I switch my billing cycle later?

Yes — contact support and we'll adjust it for your next renewal.

What happens if a payment is late?

Your Admin gets a heads-up 5, 3, and 1 day before each renewal is due. A short grace period follows a missed payment before access pauses — your data is never deleted.
