Quick answers

What if I'm not sure which modules to pick?

Start free trial — you'll see what the core modules feel like. Then click Custom on the home page; each module has a 'Learn more' link with details and a short video.

Can I switch from Free to Packaged later?

Yes — at any point in (or after) the trial, hit Upgrade in the admin panel and choose a packaged plan or custom selection. Your data stays exactly where it is.

Is yearly really 17% cheaper?

Yearly billing is ~12× single month minus 2 months, so you save roughly 17%. Easier on cash flow if you pay term-by-term, but yearly is the better deal long-term.

How do payments work?

Razorpay — UPI, cards, netbanking, EMI. Receipts are auto-emailed and GST-compliant. For yearly invoices we can also bill against PO.

Can parents see fees and attendance on a phone?

Yes. The Parent Portal module is mobile-first. Available as a web app + native iOS/Android. Indian-language support coming Q1.

What about data security?

Each school gets its own database — a query that runs for one school can never read another's data. Hosted on Indian regions, encrypted, DPDP-compliant.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There's no contract lock-in for monthly billing. Yearly plans are pro-rated on early cancellation per our refund policy.
