Pricing and packages
A legacy SIS charges by the student and sells the rest as add-ons. Rostra charges one amount for the whole school, every app after the first costs less, and the package you pick is simply the sum.
Main Office, Dismissal and Walkie are included at no cost.
Packages
Every package is built from the same prices. No bundle discount to decode and no seat count to reconcile: just the whole school, at the sum shown.
Pay annually and save $60 a year, the equivalent of 2 months free.
A school that wants to fix one thing first and add the rest later.
Any one of Tech, Conduct, Post and Nurse. Each app you add later costs less than the one before.
Pay by card at checkout. Cancel at any time.
A school replacing a legacy SIS add-on stack in one move.
All 4 ladder apps. $300 less than $1,200 at the first-app price.
Priced by the ladder: $300 + $250 + $200 + $150 a year.
A one-to-one Chromebook school that wants the class screens and a web filter too.
Campus, with Classroom added at its own price of $750 a year.
Classroom keeps one price, whatever else you have.
A school ready to move its student record, grades and report cards off a legacy SIS.
The student information system: attendance, the gradebook, report cards and Cubby Quest games.
Nothing is charged for a pilot.
A family learning at home, or a co-op paying for each member family.
Billed once a year, $16 less than paying monthly.
Every app a family uses, one price.
A central office buying for several schools: districts, dioceses and school networks.
Billed once a year, from 2 schools. The rate drops as the group grows.
Every school package includes the Rostra roster, Main Office, Dismissal and Walkie at no additional cost.
Rostra Classroom, the class's Chromebook screens and the school's web filter, is $750 a year per school, or $75 a month. It has one price of its own and does not change the ladder.

"Any one" means the app you choose for Essentials. "Per school" means each school on a District plan holds what a School plan holds. Swipe the table sideways on a phone.
Districts and networks
District plans are billed annually, with one invoice and one renewal date, and begin at 2 schools. The rate per school drops as the group grows. For a single school, choose a school package above.
Adding apps
A school that adds apps over time pays less for each one, so starting small never costs you more in the end. Campus is simply where the ladder lands.
| Apps | This one costs | You pay, in total |
|---|---|---|
| Your first appwhichever one you start with | $300 | $300 |
| Your second | $250−$50 | $550 |
| Your third | $200−$100 | $750 |
| Your fourth | $150−$150 | $900 |
| Campus: all 4, together | $1,200 | $900$300 less25% off |
Prices are per school, a year, with no charge per student, device or teacher. Paying annually gives you two months free at every step. No app requires another, and the order in which you add them does not change what you pay.
The ladder apps are Tech, Conduct, Post and Nurse. The Rostra roster, Main Office, Dismissal and Walkie come with whichever app you buy first and are never charged for on their own.
Billing questions
No. A package is the price ladder added up for you. Campus is every ladder app at the ladder prices, and Campus plus Classroom adds Classroom at its own price. Buy the same apps one at a time and you pay exactly the same.
Import your roster, invite your staff and begin with the package your school needs most. Every feature is available from the moment you subscribe.
