Pricing
One price. Every module. Published in full.
Pupil ERP costs ₹9 per student per month. There are no tiers — student records, fees, attendance, exams, payroll, the WhatsApp bot and both mobile apps are all included. No setup fee, no SMS pack, no paid add-ons. Premium school ERP vendors in India quote ₹120 to ₹250 per student per month for less.
The part that usually costs extra
What we do not charge you for
Published guidance on Indian school ERP pricing repeatedly warns that the real cost of ownership lands 40–60% above the advertised price once setup fees, SMS packs, gateway charges and customisation are added. That gap is the single most common complaint from school owners who have bought before.
Our number is the number. These are all included:
- No setup or onboarding fee
- No separate SMS pack to buy
- No per-receipt or per-message charge
- No annual "maintenance" surcharge
- No paid add-on for the mobile apps
- Onboarding, data import and staff training
- WhatsApp parent messaging and PDF receipts
- Every product update, at no extra cost
The one thing that is not ours to waive
If you choose to collect fees online, the payment gateway takes its own transaction fee. That is charged by the gateway, not by us — and you can keep collecting at the counter and recording it in Pupil ERP instead. Receipts and reports work identically either way.

FAQ
Pricing questions
How much does Pupil ERP cost?
Pupil ERP costs ₹9 per student per month. Every module is included — student records, fees, attendance, exams, payroll, the WhatsApp bot and both mobile apps. A 500-student school pays ₹4,500 a month. There is no setup fee and no SMS pack. Premium vendors in India quote ₹120 to ₹250 per student per month.
Are there different plans or tiers?
No. There is one price and everything is included. We do not hold the parent app, the teacher app, WhatsApp messaging or any module behind a higher tier, because tiering is how buyers end up paying more than the figure they compared. What you see is the whole product at the whole price.
How much does school management software cost in India generally?
Premium school ERP vendors in India quote ₹120 to ₹250 per student per month, and industry guidance warns that real total cost of ownership typically lands 40–60% above whatever is advertised once setup, SMS packs, payment gateway fees and customisation are added. Pupil ERP is ₹9 per student per month with those extras removed rather than added.
What is not included in the price?
Nothing is held back as a paid add-on. Onboarding, importing your existing records from Excel, training your office team, WhatsApp parent messaging, PDF receipts and payslips, both mobile apps and all product updates are included. The only cost we cannot waive is the payment gateway’s own transaction fee if you choose to collect fees online — that is charged by the gateway, not by us.
Do we pay for every student, including those who leave?
You pay for students actively enrolled on your roll. Archived students — leavers whose records, receipts and results you keep for audits — are not billed, so your cost tracks your actual roll rather than your history.
Is there a free trial or a free plan?
Rather than a self-serve trial, we set up a working demo with your own classes, fee structure and a sample of your student list, so you evaluate Pupil ERP with your school’s real data instead of dummy records. The demo is free and there is no obligation.
Can we pay annually instead of monthly?
Yes — many schools prefer to settle once so the cost sits in a single budget line. The rate per student is identical either way: ₹9 per student per month, with nothing added for paying monthly.
