Before you choose

A note from the builder.

One small promise

Greetings to you, our most esteemed visitor.

Choose the smallest plan that removes one real bottleneck. You should not have to buy complexity before Schoolbooks has earned a place in your school.

If a paid plan is the right fit, your first month is on me. Use it to prove the workflow with your team before the subscription becomes routine.

With care,Ced from Schoolbooks
Start with the free workspace

A straight answer

Questions before
the first invoice.

If your question is specific to a school group or migration, bring it to a working session.

Yes. The Free plan is intended to let a small school establish a useful record-keeping workflow without a card. It has deliberate limits on team size and workflow automation.

Start with the workflow, not the contract.

Let’s decide what your school actually needs.
