Setup & support

3 features

Getting started, getting unstuck, and getting the features you ask for.

Personal Basic

500 MB

Top tutor plan

50 GB

Connects to what you already use

Bring your own accounts — we don't force you onto ours, and we don't mark up your provider.

Payments

Razorpay for fee collection, application fees and refunds — connected to your own merchant account.

WhatsApp & SMS

MSG91 or Twilio with your own credentials, or buy pooled SMS credits from us instead.

Email

Deliver through your own SMTP server so mail to parents comes from your school's domain.

Your cloud storage

AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage or Azure — your bucket, your keys, your region.

Video classes

Zoom, Google Meet or Jitsi links scheduled against the class, with one-tap joining.

Biometric & RFID

Import the daily export from your existing attendance device — no new hardware to buy.

AI assistants

An MCP server with OAuth 2.1, so Claude and other assistants can read your school's data.

Spreadsheets

CSV and Excel in and out, so migrating in — or leaving — is never held hostage.

Building something yourself? Read the API and MCP docs.

Outgrow a limit, not your plan

Everything above is included in your plan. When you need more of something — storage, student capacity, SMS or WhatsApp credits, AI requests — turn it on from the marketplace inside your admin panel and pay only for that.

The marketplace also has optional modules — like Transport and Library — priced separately from your plan, and modules we're still building, labelled "coming soon."

For individual teachers

Teaching on your own? Try Personal Mode

Private tutors, music and art teachers, coaches and freelance educators get their own teaching space — students, classes, homework, notices, sessions and invoices — without setting up a whole school. Free to start, ready in a minute.

  • Your own personal subdomain
  • You're the teacher and the admin

For field service contractors

Not a school? Run your crew on the same platform

Contractors get their own version of this: assign work orders to sites, track tasks and shifts, manage labourers and sub-contractors, and send progress reports to the client — instead of running the whole business through WhatsApp.

See Contractor Field Service

What these features look like in practice

From single-teacher coaching classes to full institutions — here is what running the day on Smart School looks like.

  • “Attendance is marked from a phone in each class, and the parents of absent students are alerted without anyone having to make a call. The monthly attendance report is ready when I want it, instead of being collated from registers.”

    Meera Krishnan Principal Vidya Vihar Public School · Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu
  • “I run six batches on my own. Recurring sessions, a fee plan for each student and their invoices all sit in one place, and parents can follow a progress timeline for their child instead of messaging me for an update.”

    Rajat Bhardwaj Independent Physics Tutor JEE & NEET coaching · Kota, Rajasthan
  • “Teachers enter marks from their phones, the grading scheme works out grades, CGPA and rank for us, and the report cards come out as ready-to-print PDFs. Setting the scheme up once was the only real work.”

    Anita D'Souza Vice Principal & Examinations In-charge St. Agnes English High School · Mangaluru, Karnataka
  • “Parents pay from their own portal by UPI or card and the receipt is issued the same moment. Reminders go out from the system, and I can see what is outstanding for any class without opening a register.”

    Mohammed Irfan Qureshi Accounts & Admissions Officer Crescent Model School · Hyderabad, Telangana
  • “We are a small centre with no office staff. I signed up with just my name and email — no UDISE, no paperwork — and the setup wizard had our classes, students and homework running the same evening, on our own web address.”

    Tenzin Dolma Founder & Head Teacher Himalayan Learning Centre · Leh, Ladakh
  • “Both my children are on one login. Attendance, homework, notices, fees and report cards are in the same place, and a notice reaches my phone the day it is issued instead of at the bottom of a school bag.”

    Priyanka Sahoo Parent of two students (Class 6 & Class 9) Guardian portal user · Bhubaneswar, Odisha
  • “Admission applications come in through a form on our own address, with documents attached and the application fee paid online. Every enquiry sits on a pipeline board, and admitting an applicant creates the student record in one click.”

    Gurpreet Kaur Sandhu Trustee & Head of Academics Guru Nanak Model School · Ludhiana, Punjab
