Price and trial

How much does EdunodeX cost?

EdunodeX Lite is ₹25 per student per month, for schools with at least 200 students. EdunodeX, with every module and the AI Assistant, is ₹50 per student per month with no minimum. Both are plus 18% GST and billed every quarter. Every school pays the same list price.

Is there a free plan?

No. There is a 30-day free trial with the full product and no card. After the trial the school picks a plan.

Is there a setup or training charge?

No. Setup, the first data import from Excel and staff training on a call are included in both plans.

We have fewer than 200 students. Which plan applies?

EdunodeX. EdunodeX Lite needs at least 200 students; EdunodeX has no minimum.

We run more than one school. How is that priced?

Groups of two or more schools, or a school with 1,500 or more students, are priced by quote. Schools in a group get one dashboard across all of them, which we set up.

Can the price change after we join?

Only with notice: at least 30 days before it takes effect, as the Terms of Service say.

Fees and receipts

Can parents pay fees by UPI?

Yes. Parents pay by UPI, card or net banking through a payment link, and the receipt reaches them on WhatsApp. The fee register updates itself when a payment comes in.

Does the fee money come to our school's bank account?

Yes. Online payments go through your school's own Razorpay or Cashfree account. EdunodeX does not hold your fee money.

Can we bring last year's dues from Excel or the register?

Yes. Import balances from Excel against each admission number. You check them before they are saved, and rows that do not match a student are set aside for review.

Can we give sibling, staff-child or scholarship concessions?

Yes, as a percentage or a fixed amount with start and end dates. Waivers and adjustments wait for an approver before they apply.

Does it remind parents about unpaid fees?

Yes. The office can send reminders to parents with unpaid fees on WhatsApp or SMS. On the EdunodeX plan, Autopilot sends fee follow-ups automatically.

Attendance

How is attendance marked?

Teachers mark it in the teacher app or the browser. Schools can also use eSSL or ZKTeco attendance terminals that push to EdunodeX over ADMS (Cloud Server), the EdunodeX Tap card reader, or face attendance on the EdunodeX plan.

Are parents told when a child is absent?

Yes. Parents get an absence alert on WhatsApp or SMS, or in the parent app.

Parents and messages

Do parents have to install an app?

No. Receipts, absence alerts and notices reach them on WhatsApp, SMS or email. Parents who want more can use the parent app on Google Play or the parent portal in a phone browser, signing in with an OTP.

Is the parent app on iPhone?

The parent app is on Google Play for Android. Parents with an iPhone use the parent portal in the browser.

What can the school send to parents on WhatsApp?

Notices and circulars, homework, fee receipts and reminders, absence alerts and report cards. A notice can go to the whole school, a class, a section or one student's parents.

Will parents get messages late at night?

No. App notifications and WhatsApp notices wait for quiet hours to end, 9 pm to 7 am by default. Notices marked as emergencies go out at once.

Which languages does EdunodeX work in?

The full app works in English, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada. Sign-in also works in Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese and Urdu. On the EdunodeX plan, chat replies to parents in the language they write in.

Exams, records and compliance

Does it make report cards?

Yes. Teachers enter marks and EdunodeX prepares the report card from the school's assessment scheme, including CBSE and KVS patterns, the CCE pattern or a plain two-term year. Report cards can be sent to parents on WhatsApp.

Does it handle admissions, TCs and ID cards?

Yes. Online admission forms, student records, transfer certificates and student and staff ID cards are all in EdunodeX.

Does it help with UDISE+ and APAAR?

EdunodeX prepares UDISE+ data as an export and tracks each student's APAAR ID status. The school still submits to the government portals itself; EdunodeX does not submit for you.

What about the DPDP Act?

EdunodeX records parent consent and handles requests to export or erase a person's data. The school stays responsible for how it uses its records.

Does it do payroll?

Yes. Monthly salaries with absent-day cuts and advances, and payslips. PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS are on the EdunodeX plan.

What else is included?

Library, hostel, inventory, visitors and transport. Live bus tracking for parents needs a GPS unit in each bus; on EdunodeX Lite it is an add-on at ₹200 per bus per month.

AI Assistant and Autopilot

What does the AI Assistant do?

Office staff ask it questions in plain words, such as who has not paid this term, and it answers from the school's records. It is on the EdunodeX plan; EdunodeX Lite does not include it.

What is Autopilot?

Autopilot sends routine follow-ups automatically, such as fee reminders and alerts when a child is absent several days in a row or attendance has not been marked. It is on the EdunodeX plan.

Is our data sent to an AI company?

Only when the school uses the AI Assistant: the question and the records needed to answer it are sent to an external AI model provider to prepare the reply.

Data, security and setup

Where is our data stored?

On servers in Mumbai, India, with a daily backup also kept in Mumbai. Hourly backup is an add-on at ₹5 per student per month.

Can another school see our records?

No. Each school's records are separated from every other school's at the database level.

Can we take our data out?

Yes. Students, fee ledgers, payments and reports export to Excel, CSV or PDF at any time. A school that leaves gets a complete copy of its records on request.

Do we need to install anything at the school?

No. EdunodeX runs in the browser, with apps for parents, teachers, drivers and the office. There is nothing to install, update or back up at the school.

Does it work for a preschool?

Yes. There is a preschool mode with daily updates for parents, nap and meal logs, milestones and authorised pickup. Most preschools are under 200 children, so the EdunodeX plan applies.
