LAUNCH50Things Schools Usually Ask
Yes. Every plan includes all five modules — Students & Attendance, the three-tier exam system (Exam, Class Test, Unit Test), Fee Collection, Transportation, Staff & Payslip, Accounting and the Guardian module. Plans differ only in capacity (student count, free message bundle, training days and support tier) — never in features.
Pick the smallest tier that comfortably fits your current student count: START ≤ 250, SMART ≤ 500, SUPER ≤ 800, PREMIUM ≤ 1,500. If you’re close to the boundary, prefer the higher tier so you don’t hit the cap mid-session. Use the cost calculator above for an exact recommendation.
Yes, anytime. You only pay the price difference between the two plans, prorated for the remaining months in your subscription. No cancellation, no data loss — the upgrade is instant.
There are no per-message charges and no wallet top-ups. If your school’s WhatsApp + SMS usage exceeds the plan’s bundle, you simply move up to the next plan — you only pay the prorated difference for the months remaining in your subscription. The cost calculator on this page tells you when an upgrade is worth doing.
No. Setup is free, every module is unlocked from Day 1, and there are no per-module add-on fees. The only running cost beyond the yearly subscription is your SMS / WhatsApp wallet, which is fully usage-based.
No. The 30-day free trial does not require a credit or debit card. You enter card details only when you choose to subscribe at the end of the trial.
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If for any reason the software doesn’t work for your school within 30 days of payment, raise a refund request and we’ll process it — no questions asked. After 30 days, you can downgrade or cancel future renewal anytime.
Yes. Upgrades are prorated and instant. Downgrades take effect at the next yearly renewal so you don’t lose paid value. You can also pause renewal at any time.
Prices are listed exclusive of GST. 18% GST is added at checkout as per Indian regulations. A GST invoice with your school’s GSTIN (if provided) is issued for every payment so you can claim input credit where applicable.
Training depends on your plan: START gets a 1-session online onboarding; SMART gets 1 day of live training; SUPER gets 2 days; PREMIUM gets 3 days, on-site or live. Every plan also includes recorded walkthroughs and access to support during the first 30 days.
