1% of each gift, plus Stripe's card or Direct Debit fee. On the cloud plans.
Parents pay by card or Direct Debit from the app. The money goes to your madrassah's own Stripe account and the payment is recorded against the fee.
1% of each payment, plus Stripe's fee
On the cloud plans with fees.
ClassNest texts parents for you: when a child is marked absent, and to a class or every parent at once for urgent news. Parents can opt out.
Texting from your own phone is included on every plan: the app writes each text and opens Messages, one parent at a time.
What the texts cost us, plus 20%
From your own phone: included on every plan.
Coming after launch
Your madrassah's own app in the App Store and Google Play, with your name and logo.
£99 a month, plus £750 setup
Try ClassNest with your own classes for 30 days. No card needed, so nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.
The first 10 madrassahs to join get half price for their first year, in return for honest feedback and a testimonial.
Just starting out, or teaching a handful of children? Ask us and we'll take 20% off your plan.
By debit or credit card, or by UK Direct Debit, through Stripe. You can pay monthly or yearly, and you get an invoice and a receipt by email for every payment.
Your madrassah is paused: staff and parents can't use it until you choose a plan, but all your data is kept. Choose a plan and everything carries on where you left off. We never asked for your card, so nothing is charged automatically.
Yes. The app tells your headmaster when you're getting close to your plan's pupil limit, and you can move to a bigger plan at any time. Not sure which plan fits? Ask us.
Not from your own phone: included on every plan. The app writes the text and opens Messages on your phone with the parent's number filled in, one parent at a time, and you press Send. Parents see the number it comes from, so a madrassah phone is best. If you'd rather ClassNest sent texts for you, automatic texts are an add-on at what they cost us plus 20%.
Just let us know. Your madrassah keeps working until the end of the month or year you've paid for, and there's no cancellation fee.
Yes, it's your data. Ask us at any time and we'll send you a full export of your madrassah's records and files. Many screens, such as marks and the staff register, also export to a spreadsheet. After you leave we keep your data for 12 months in case you come back, then delete it, or sooner if you ask.
In the UK. Your records, accounts and uploaded files are stored in London; only the encrypted copy of the nightly backup is kept in the EU. On the on-site plan, everything stays on the computer in your building. More about how we look after your data.
No. The madrassah pays one price, and parents, teachers and staff use the apps free of charge.
Not for the cloud plans. The on-site plan has a £495 setup fee, plus the hardware at cost.
