That number is hard to compare, because two schools paying the same amount can be getting very different things. This guide explains what actually decides the price of school ERP software in India, and what to ask so that you compare like with like.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_one_package_price_is_misleading\"><\/span>Why one package price is misleading<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.schoolyam.com\/school-erp-price-in-india\/#Why_one_package_price_is_misleading\" >Why one package price is misleading<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.schoolyam.com\/school-erp-price-in-india\/#The_five_things_that_decide_the_cost\" >The five things that decide the cost<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.schoolyam.com\/school-erp-price-in-india\/#1_Which_modules_you_switch_on\" >1.

A single package price either overcharges the small school for modules it never opens, or hides extra charges that appear later for the large one. That is why more vendors now price by module.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_five_things_that_decide_the_cost\"><\/span>The five things that decide the cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Which_modules_you_switch_on\"><\/span>1. Which modules you switch on<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the biggest factor. Core modules such as student information, fee management, attendance and the parent app are what most schools start with. Exams and report cards, timetable, transport GPS, HR and payroll, library, inventory and WhatsApp automation are added as the school needs them. With module-wise pricing you pay only for what your school uses.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Number_of_students\"><\/span>2. Number of students<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most school software in India is priced per student per year or in student slabs, because the student count drives app logins, messages and data volume.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Messaging_volume\"><\/span>3. Messaging volume<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>SMS and WhatsApp messages cost money to send. Ask whether reminders, absence alerts and circulars are included, or billed by usage, and how you can see the balance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Online_payment_charges\"><\/span>4. Online payment charges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When parents pay online by UPI, cards or netbanking, the payment gateway charges a fee on each transaction. This is separate from the software price. Ask who bears it, and whether the software lets you choose your own gateway so that you can negotiate rates.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Setup_data_migration_and_training\"><\/span>5. Setup, data migration and training<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Moving your admission register, fee structure and staff list into a new system takes work. Some vendors include it, some charge separately. Ask exactly what is included and how many days go-live takes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hidden_costs_to_watch_for\"><\/span>Hidden costs to watch for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Per-user charges<\/strong> for office staff or teachers, which grow every time you hire.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Branded app fees<\/strong> if you want the parent app in your school&#8217;s own name.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Report customisation<\/strong> charges for your board&#8217;s report card format.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Annual price jumps<\/strong> after the first year.

You should be able to take your data out in Excel at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_compare_quotes_fairly\"><\/span>How to compare quotes fairly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ask every vendor for a quote on the <em>same list of modules<\/em> and the <em>same student count<\/em>, and put the answers in one table:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Question<\/th>\n<th>Vendor A<\/th>\n<th>Vendor B<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Modules included in the quote<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price basis (per student, slab, flat)<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Messages included per month<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Branded parent app included?<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Setup and data migration included?<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Training and support hours<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Renewal terms after year one<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_cheapest_option_the_best_value\"><\/span>Is the cheapest option the best value?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rarely. The real saving from school software comes from fees collected on time, fewer hours spent on registers and reports, and fewer mistakes at the fee counter. A system that costs a little more but brings automatic fee reminders with payment links, and posts every receipt to the books on its own, usually pays for itself in the first fee cycle. A cheap system that your staff stop using after two months costs you the full price and the lost time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Schoolyam_prices\"><\/span>How Schoolyam prices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Schoolyam&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/schoolyam.com\/pricing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pricing is module-wise<\/a>.
