What it comes to, by size
Charged on the students you actually have, at the single rate for your school's size — a school of 600 pays ₹32 a month for every one of them, not ₹40 for the first 250 and less thereafter. The licence column shows what a school at the top of each band pays; figures are before 18% GST.
Work out your number
What would this cost my school?
Drag the slider to your student count. Every figure below covers a full year, so the two billing cycles compare fairly.
An estimate, not a quote. Group, government and referral rates are settled on a call, and none of them stack with the founding rate.
What the price does not cover
Two things sit outside the licence. Better you read them here than meet them on an invoice.
The server itself
Free if you run it on a school PC or an existing server. If you would rather not, we host and maintain it for Rs 18,000 a year.
18% GST
Every figure on this page is before tax. Your invoice carries GST as a separate line.

Why the deal is shaped this way
Thirty days before you are invoiced
Long enough to cross a fee cycle and a full week of attendance, which is where school software usually falls over. Walk away at day 30 and you owe nothing.
Nothing sits behind a paywall
HR, Library, Reception, Transport and the parent app are in the base price. Schools switching to us usually arrive from a product where half of that was quoted as an extra.
You pay for your actual size
A 200-student school should not be billed like a 2,000-student one. You pay for the students on your roll at the rate for your size, and nothing else.
No cloud subscription underneath it
The software runs on your hardware. Stop paying us and the database is still on your own machine, in standard PostgreSQL you can export.
Where it runs
One product, three ways to install it
The same build and the same 16 modules in every case. You choose where the database lives, and you can move between these later without changing software — a school that starts on one PC can be on the school network next term, or hosted by us the term after.
One computer
No hosting feeInstalled on a single office PC and used from that machine. No internet, no network setup, nothing else to buy.
- You provide
- A PC in the office
- Worth knowing
- One person works in it at a time, at that desk
- Suits
- A small school, or a first term before widening it out
Your school network
No hosting feeInstalled on one PC or a small server; everyone on the school Wi-Fi or cable opens it in a browser at the same time — front desk, staffroom, accounts, principal.
- You provide
- One PC to host it, and the Wi-Fi you already have
- Worth knowing
- Reachable on campus; parents off-site need the cloud option
- Suits
- Most schools — full use with no internet bill and no cloud fee
Hosted for you
₹18,000 a yearWe run it on a server we maintain, with backups, updates and a web address of your own. Staff, parents and the Android app reach it from anywhere.
- You provide
- Nothing — we set it up
- Worth knowing
- Needs a working internet line at school, like any cloud system
- Suits
- Several branches, or parents who should see it from home
In the first two the database never leaves your building, and it stays standard PostgreSQL you can export whenever you like. In the third it sits on a server we run for your school alone.
The starting price is rarely the finishing price
School software tends to arrive in one of two shapes: a cheap per-student app that bills for the parts you assumed were included, or an enterprise suite quoted as one large number with maintenance after it. Here is where the money actually goes in each.
| What it costs you | EduAnant Unlimited | A budget cloud app | A legacy enterprise ERP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year one setup and training | Free, included | Often a separate onboarding fee | Implementation quoted on top |
| Core modules like HR and Library | All 16 from day one | Held back for a premium tier | Sold as priced add-ons |
| Parent and teacher apps | Included, with push alerts | Often billed separately | Carries its own maintenance fee |
| Where the database sits | Your building, or a server we run for you alone | A shared multi-tenant cloud | The vendor's own servers |
| The day the line goes down | Keeps working if installed in school | Front desk stops with it | Front desk stops with it |
| Alerts to parents | No per-message fee | Message packs billed on top | Message packs billed on top |
| Server to run it on | A school PC, or Rs 18,000 a year managed | Built into every monthly bill | A hosting package to buy |
| What changes by year three | The published rate, no maintenance charge | Tier upgrades as the school grows | Annual maintenance on top of licence |
| Trying it first | 30 days, no invoice | Usually behind a sales call | A pilot, after a contract |
| Who answers when it breaks | The people who built it | A ticket queue | An account manager, or a partner |

What you get back
Three ways it pays for itself
A licence is a line on next year's budget, so it is fair to ask what comes back against it. These are the three we would put in front of a board.
No surprise invoice in October
A quote you compare us against may not include onboarding, the message pack, or the tier that unlocks HR. Ours does. One line on the budget, fixed for the year, worked out from your roll and the rate for your size, with GST the only thing added.
The front desk never waits for a page
Installed in school, the software is on the same network as the people using it. Fee week does not stop because the broadband is down, and a counter that keeps taking receipts through an outage pays for a good deal of software.
The server is a PC you already own
There is no hosting package to buy unless you want one. If you would rather not run it yourself, we will, for Rs 18,000 a year — and that is the whole of it, not a platform fee that grows with your roll.
And why a yearly fee for software that runs on your own machine
It is a fair question, and the honest answer is that the two older models each got half of it right. Offline software used to arrive on a disc, work well, and quietly go stale — no new board circular, no new report format, no one to call. Cloud software fixed that and took the database in exchange, so leaving meant leaving your own records behind.
The fee buys the first half without the second: the circulars and formats kept current, the updates applied for you, and people who answer the phone — on an install that is still yours, in a database you can export this afternoon. Stop paying and the software stops; the data does not go anywhere. You can see what that has actually meant on the release history.
