Is FreeSchoolApp really free for unlimited students?

The student management software itself runs on a one-time setup fee (₹15,000 in India for web + software, ₹25,000 with mobile app, USD-tier internationally) plus ₹5,000/year for domain + hosting + maintenance from year 2. There are no per-student fees, no per-staff fees, no surprise bills as your school grows. A 500-student school pays the same yearly as a 5,000-student school.

A school office that runs on spreadsheets, paper registers and WhatsApp groups burns roughly 14 hours per week chasing data — a recent FreeSchoolApp survey of 312 K-12 schools across India found admin staff spend more time hunting for student records than serving the parents who walk through the door. The fix is not another tool. The fix is one place. FreeSchoolApp's student management module (also called a Student Information System or SIS) is the searchable, mobile-ready home for every detail about every student your school ever enrols — name, parents, address, transport route, attendance, marks, conduct, certificates, photos, fees, medical notes. Class teachers update it from their phone in seconds. Parents see their own child's record in the branded mobile app. Principals get cross-class analytics that used to need a part-time MIS coordinator. And RichEdu AI sits on top of all of it — drafting personalised WhatsApp messages to parents, marking attendance from a single class photo, predicting which students are slipping before grades drop, and chasing overdue fees on autopilot. A 30-day trial for ₹499 in India (or $10 USD elsewhere) lets you onboard your whole school — up to 500 students, every module, the native Android + iOS apps, no card needed. Launches in 24 hours and ships with parent apps branded with your school logo. Below: a tour of every feature, eight common questions answered, and the related modules — Teacher Portal, Fee Collection, WhatsApp Integration — that plug straight into this one.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What is student management software?

Student management software (also called a Student Information System or SIS) is the central place a school stores and works with every student record — personal details, parents, attendance, marks, fees, documents, medical info and conduct. FreeSchoolApp replaces 5–6 different tools (Excel sheets, WhatsApp groups, paper registers, separate fee software, separate exam software) with one searchable, mobile-ready dashboard. Free for unlimited students.

Can I import students from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Upload a CSV or Excel file with student details — name, roll number, class, section, parents, contact, address — and the system maps the columns automatically, creates the student profiles, links the parents, assigns roll numbers, generates login credentials, and emails the parents. Typically 500 students import in under 2 minutes. We also help migrate from Eskooly, Fedena, Tally and other school software at no extra cost during onboarding.

How does RichEdu AI mark attendance from a class photo?

Class teacher takes one wide-angle photo of the class on their phone. RichEdu AI uses face-detection (trained on student-uploaded profile photos) to identify which students are present, then marks the rest absent. The teacher sees the auto-marked roster and can correct any mismatches in two taps. Average time: 12 seconds per class versus 2-3 minutes for manual roll-call.

How much does FreeSchoolApp cost?

A 30-day trial unlocks the full platform for ₹499 in India (or $10 USD elsewhere) and covers up to 500 students — every module, the native Android + iOS apps, WhatsApp integration, and RichEdu AI included. After the trial, the standard plan is a one-time ₹15,000 (₹25,000 with the native mobile app) plus ₹5,000/year for domain, hosting and maintenance from year 2 onwards. International tiers in USD. No per-student or per-staff fees — a 200-student school pays the same yearly as a 500-student school.

Does it work for multi-branch schools?

Yes. Each branch gets its own sub-domain, its own staff, its own fee structure, its own academic calendar — but rolls up into a single MIS dashboard for the principal or trustee. Cross-branch transfers carry the student's full history (attendance, marks, fees, certificates) automatically.

Can I issue Transfer Certificates and bonafide letters from the system?

Yes. Pick the student, pick the document type (TC, bonafide, NOC, scholarship letter), click generate. The PDF is auto-numbered, school-letterhead branded, principal-signature stamped, and saved to the student's permanent record. Parents get the PDF on WhatsApp within seconds. Audit-friendly: every certificate generated is logged with who issued it and when.

Is the student data secure?

Yes. All data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3. Daily encrypted backups stored offsite. Role-based access controls — class teachers see only their class, subject teachers see only their subjects, parents see only their own child, principals see everything. GDPR-aligned with a Data Processing Agreement available for EU schools.

Does the parent app work offline?

The mobile app caches the day's attendance, marks entry, homework, and parent messages on the device. Class teachers in low-connectivity areas can keep working — data syncs the moment Wi-Fi or 4G is available. Parents can read past notifications and reports offline too.
