Pricing

Free for your first term.

Run Akyeba on your real classes for a full term, at no cost. We set it up against your subjects, grading scale and term structure, and iron out anything that comes up. When the term ends and it's running smoothly, you choose the plan that fits. Start your free term.

Pilot · Free Term

One full term, completely free. No card, no commitment. You only choose a plan if you continue afterwards, and every plan is priced for a Ghanaian school's budget. Talk to us for the figure that matches the plan you choose.

Why managed Akyeba

It's more than software. It's your IT department, handled.

Building and running a school system in-house means servers, a developer's salary, and someone on call when it breaks. With Akyeba, none of that is your problem.

No servers to run

We host everything on managed cloud infrastructure. No AWS account, no servers, no databases for you to set up or keep alive.

No developers to hire

Building this in-house means a salaried engineer year-round. With Akyeba there's no team to recruit, manage, or pay between projects.

Maintenance handled

Security patches, backups, and uptime are ours to worry about. You log in and work; we keep the lights on behind the scenes.

Always up to date

New features and compliance changes (GES and Cambridge curriculum, report formats, term structures) ship automatically. Your system never goes stale.

Predictable cost

One plan replaces 4–5 separate tools and 20+ hours a week of manual admin. No surprise infrastructure bills, no hidden upkeep.

Built for Ghana

Works on weak networks: attendance, marks and lesson notes run offline and sync later. Local class names, terms, grading and SMS out of the box.

By hand vs Akyeba

Manual work looks free. It isn't.

Paper and Excel never show up on an invoice — the cost is your staff's hours, and everything those hours still can't give you: reports on demand, a live view of the school, records that never get lost.

Lesson notes

By hand: handwritten, submitted and signed on paper; HODs chase copies. Akyeba: written and moderated online, versioned and searchable.

Attendance

By hand: a paper register per class; patterns stay invisible. Akyeba: marked in seconds on any device, offline, with instant summaries.

Student records

By hand: paper files and scattered spreadsheets; lost and duplicated. Akyeba: one secure, always-current record per student.

Report cards

By hand: days of compilation each term, copied out by hand. Akyeba: ready the moment the last mark is entered.

Admin oversight

By hand: chase staff for updates; no real-time picture. Akyeba: live dashboards for attendance, marks, fees and moderation.

Term setup

By hand: rebuild classes, templates and grading every term. Akyeba: set up once; it carries forward automatically.

Plans

Plans set by features, not roll size.

Your plan is set by the features you want, not your enrolment. The core operating loop is on every plan; richer modules and more hands-on support unlock as you move up. Each tier includes everything in the one below it, and the price is flat per term whatever your enrolment. Talk to us for the figure matched to your plan.

Talk to us

Add-on modules. Boarding (houses, exeats, prefects) and Multi-stream SHS are optional modules you can add to any plan, so a boarding school or SHS of any size can run them without jumping a tier.

Flexible billing

Pay the way that suits your school.

Flat, per term

One predictable fee every term, three terms a year, set by your plan — never by headcount. Simple to budget for.

Flat, per year

One payment for the whole academic year, upfront, at a discount versus paying termly.

Multi-year prepaid

Pay two or three years upfront and lock your rate against inflation, at a deeper discount.

Custom

One-time setup fees, school-group rates, or a bespoke arrangement for unusual needs. Talk to us.

SMS & email. Essential is email-only (300 / term). SMS to parents unlocks at Standard, and Premium is unlimited on both under fair-use. Beyond a plan's allowance, top-ups are billed close to the network cost, with no inflated packs. Fee-collection processing (Paystack) is passed through at cost.

FAQ

Questions schools ask.

Is the first term really free?
Yes: full access for one term, set up on your real classes and data. There's no card and no commitment. You only choose a paid plan if you continue afterwards.
How is pricing worked out?
By the plan you choose — a feature set, not your enrolment. There's no per-student counting and no enrolment bands: a 200-pupil and an 800-pupil school on the same plan pay the same flat fee. Pick the plan whose features you want and pay per term or once a year. Tell us and we'll quote the exact figure.
Can we buy it outright or set up a custom arrangement?
We don't sell a "run-it-yourself" copy. Hosting, security, and updates are continuous work that's best left to us, so your school never needs servers or a developer. We do offer custom arrangements: one-time setup fees, multi-year prepaid, and school-group rates. Talk to us about what fits.
What do we need to run it?
Just a browser and a phone or computer. No servers, no software to install, no IT staff. We handle hosting, backups, security, and every update.
What about SMS costs?
Essential sends email only (300 / term). SMS to parents unlocks at Standard; Premium is unlimited on both under fair-use. Beyond a plan's allowance, SMS tops up close to the real network cost, with no surprises.
Can teachers use Akyeba offline?
Yes. Attendance, marks entry, and lesson notes work without network. The app syncs as soon as a connection is available.
Will it work with our existing class names?
Akyeba supports common Ghanaian conventions out of the box (Basic 1 / P1 / Form 1 / Class 1 / SHS 1) and lets schools customise. Renaming a class doesn't disrupt history.
Can we switch plans?
Yes, at the start of any term. Move up a tier whenever you want the extra features — parent portal, analytics, online admissions, a website, white-glove support — and your price never changes with enrolment, only with the tier you choose. Your data always carries over, and you can add the Boarding or Multi-stream SHS modules to any plan at any time.
What happens to our data if we leave?
You can export every student record, attendance entry, grade, and lesson note. It's your data; we never lock it.

See it on your real classes.

A working pilot beats a demo. We'll set Akyeba up against your actual subjects, grading scale, and term structure, free for a term, so you can judge fit on real terms.
