SchoolDeck pricing, per enrolled student

SchoolDeck is priced per enrolled student per academic year, billed annually. Essential is ₹120 per student per year and Professional ₹210, with the rate falling as enrolment rises. Implementation, migration, training, unlimited staff logins and the parent app are included at every tier.

Figures here are indicative and under review. Confirm the current rate card, minimums and applicable GST before budgeting against them.

Two things set the price: how many students are enrolled, and which tier you are on. Nothing inside a tier is metered — if examinations are in your tier, you run as many as you like, for as many sections as you have.

Enrolment is counted once at the start of the academic year. Students admitted mid-year are charged pro-rata; students who leave are not refunded, which is the part worth stating here rather than discovering at renewal.

The two tiers, and which one schools land on

Essential suits a school coming off spreadsheets that mainly needs admissions, records, attendance, fees and report cards. Professional is where most schools end up, because timetabling and examinations are the two things that break first once the basics are working.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.

How much does school management software cost in India?

Per-student annual pricing is the norm, commonly ₹120 to ₹250 per student per year for a full-featured tier, with rates falling above roughly 1,000 students. Compare total cost rather than headline rate: watch for separate charges for implementation, per-user licences, SMS credits and gateway fees.

Is there a setup or implementation fee?

No. Implementation, configuration, migration, report card reproduction and training are included in the per-student price at every tier.

Do we pay for students who leave mid-year?

Enrolment is counted once at the start of the academic year and the invoice is not adjusted down during it. Students admitted mid-year are charged pro-rata for the remaining months.

Are staff logins charged per user?

No. Staff logins are unlimited at every tier. Charging per user pushes schools into sharing accounts, which destroys the audit trail that makes the system worth having.

How long is the price held?

Three years from signature, fixed. Renewal after that is at the then-current rate card, with notice before the renewal date and no exit fee.
