Pricing
One PTA site, priced to grow with your school.
Every tier includes a full school site, clubs, events, the uniform shop, class chat, and the mobile app. What changes as your school grows is how many students the plan covers, the monthly fee, and the percentage taken on each ticket, shop, or club payment.
Local tax applies to every payment taken through the platform, on every tier, including Free — that isn't something we can waive.
