Quick answer
  • The free plan covers one student and one chart, enough to try the daily routine.
  • Pro adds more capacity and advanced workflows.
  • School and district plans support team administration.
  • Upgrading should not erase existing student or chart history.
  • Downgrading or letting a trial lapse does not delete your logged data.

Teachers can start small and upgrade later. A plan change should raise your limits or add school and district features without touching the student and chart history you have already built.

Choose by workflow, not just price

Individual teachers usually start with free or pro. Schools and districts should evaluate seats, admin visibility, compliance documentation, and rollout support.

Upgrade when limits slow you down

If student or chart limits are blocking real use, upgrading is usually better than deleting records you may need later.

District pricing needs context

District conversations depend on seats, schools, rollout timeline, and compliance needs. Use the ROI calculator before booking a demo.

Your data stays put across plan changes

The fear behind every plan decision is the same: will I lose the student history I have been building? The answer is that plan changes are about access and limits, not deletion. Upgrading raises your ceilings, and stepping down or letting a trial lapse may limit what you can do next, but the charts, logs, and incident history you already recorded remain yours.

Behavior and IEP evidence is not the kind of data you can casually rebuild. Months of daily logs are months of work and, more importantly, the record of what a team actually did for a student. A billing tool should never put that record at risk, and the right time to confirm how a downgrade affects access is before you make the change, not after.

Choosing a plan without overbuying

Pick the plan that matches the work in front of you, not the one that looks most complete. A single teacher tracking a handful of students rarely needs district administration features, and paying for unused seats does not make the data any better. Start where your real workflow sits and move up when a concrete limit, like a student cap or a missing team feature, actually blocks you.

For schools and districts the calculus is different, because the value is in shared administration, visibility, and compliance documentation. There the right question is not price per teacher but whether the plan supports the rollout you are planning. Run the ROI calculator with your real seat count and school context so the conversation starts from numbers rather than guesses.

Frequently asked questions

Will upgrading delete my data?

No. Upgrading is intended to preserve existing students, charts, and logs.

Can schools pay for multiple teachers?

Yes. School and district plans cover team workflows and administrative visibility.

Where should district buyers start?

Start with the ROI calculator, then book a district demo with your school context.

If I downgrade or my trial ends, do I lose my logs?

A plan change affects access and limits, not the data itself. Your charts, logs, and incident history are not erased when you step down or let a trial lapse. If you are unsure how a specific downgrade changes what you can access, confirm before you make the switch.

I only track a few students. Is the free plan enough?

The free plan covers one student with one chart, which is enough to run the full daily routine and decide whether it works for you. To track more than one student, you will need Pro. Move up only when a real limit gets in your way.
