NISI. Now I See It

What it costs — and why we tell you

Most education software hides its price until you sit through a sales call. We don't. Here's exactly what NISI costs, and the thinking behind every number — the same as we'd tell you across a table.

Колко струва — и защо ви го казваме

Повечето образователни платформи крият цената си, докато не преминете през договаряне. Ние — не. Ето точно колко струва NISI и продуктът зад всяко число — същото, което бихме ви казали преди подписване на договор.

What the strong players charge — and what we charge

We don't ask you to take "cheaper" on trust. Below are the established players a school actually buys from, at their own published prices, for a 1,000-pupil secondary over one year. These are the strong ones — Bromcom and IRIS run thousands of British schools; Renaissance and Unifrog are the category leaders in their slices. We are not comparing ourselves to weak products.

Sources. Competitor figures are as published by those vendors on the UK G-Cloud / Digital Marketplace and their own price documents (2024–25 framework prices). Bromcom: Secondary Plus £3,250 base + £8.50/pupil + finance £2.60/pupil. Renaissance: £1,669/yr + £4.43/licence. Twinkl: from £50/staff member/yr, whole-school. Unifrog: ~£3/student/yr. The National College: from £990/yr whole-school.

Finance isn't in here — and that's on purpose. NISI has no finance or accounting module (no payroll, fees or ledgers). What we do give you is costing and budgeting for the STEM & STEAM materials a class uses — projects priced from your own stock. The Bromcom row above includes their finance module; NISI doesn't replace it, so a school keeps its own finance system alongside.

Read the currencies. Theirs are pounds. Ours are euros. 15 is a smaller number than 27 — and a euro is smaller than a pound. So the gap is wider than it looks: at the European Central Bank reference rate on 8 September 2026, €1 = £0.8574, which makes our €15 worth £12.86 per pupil.

Against the full £27.40 patchwork that is about 53% less. Against a deliberately cautious comparison — cheaper MIS tier, no finance module, a cheaper assessment tool, roughly £20/pupil — it is still about 36% less. So: between about a third and a half less, for more.

And nobody else puts it under one roof

The saving is only half of it. The other half is that the five products above don't talk to each other — five contracts, five logins, five support desks, and a child's assessment result that never reaches the person planning next week's lesson.

We checked whether anyone else unifies it. No one does. The suites that call themselves unified are shallow — Google Workspace for Education Plus is email, documents and Classroom, with no assessment, no CPD, no student PDP. The large ones are fragmented: PowerSchool is a suite built by acquisition. The rest are single-purpose — Canvas is a learning platform and nothing else.

No competitor we could find sells administration, assessment, lesson development, educator development, student PDP, STEAM and safety on one connected spine. That is the thing we are actually selling. The lower price is a consequence of building it once, not a discount we are hoping you won't examine.

And almost nobody publishes a price at all. Renaissance, GL/CAT4, PowerSchool, Instructure, Unifrog and Century all send you to "contact sales". Every number on this page is here because you should be able to defend it to your board without booking a call with us first.

Why we price this way

We publish. A price you can't see is a price you can't defend to your board. So ours are on the page.

Regional pricing, honestly. Every global company charges an emerging market less than an established one — quietly. We, to a point, do the same, because a school in an area of limited resources shouldn't pay a capital city price — but we say so, because it's the right thing to do. We take the reduction, we don't pass it on.

Pay only for what you use. Every part has its own price; combine parts and each one drops. You set your own budget.

Fair use, stated up front. Your licence is sized to the numbers you give us, with room to grow — and what happens if you outgrow it is in your contract from day one, never a surprise.

And even at our price, you pay less than our competitors — and get more. The whole connected suite, not one slice.

Five ways in — from one learner to many schools

How the saving shows: combine parts and each drops — 2–3 → −15% each · 4–5 → −25% · 6+ → −40%. You see the saving on every part, never a mystery lump.

The self-directed learner
Самостоятелният учащ

Autodidact

Автодидакт

€49/year

Assessment · lesson library · planner · your own development. You're both the student and the teacher — so you get an honest read on your growth and the tools to develop yourself.

A family teaching its own
Семейство, което учи своите

Home Educator / Family

Домашно обучение / Семейство

€59/family/year

Adds differentiation for each child. A family isn't a school — one price for all your children, and it develops you as an educator, not just teaches them.

A professional of one
Професионалист сам за себе си

Educator / Tutor

Педагог / Частен учител

€120/educator/year

Everything to teach, assess, engage and keep developing your own practice, in a single seat.

One institution, kept whole
Една институция, запазена цяла

Single School

Едно училище

€15/student/year

The whole school on one connected spine — and it sits on top of the register you already run, and grows every teacher, not just every student.

The connected whole at scale
Свързаното цяло в мащаб

Multi-Site / University / Trust

Много обекти / Университет / Група

from €12/student/year

Everything at volume, across sites. The only tier where we say "let's map it together" — and even here we show a starting price, never a blank "contact sales".

Or build it yourself — the seven parts

You don't have to take the whole thing. Every part has its own price and its own market anchor, so you can see what each one would cost you elsewhere. The more parts you take, the cheaper each one becomes — and a whole-school selection can never cost more than the Single School price above.

The ladder: 2–3 parts → −15% each · 4–5 parts → −25% each · 6+ parts → −40% each. The discount shows on every part, never as a mystery lump. The cap: however many parts you tick, a whole-school price never rises above €15/student/year — the Single School price. Take enough and the rest effectively come with it.

Administration

€10 /student/yr
Sits on top of the register you already run. Market: £8–11/pupil (Bromcom, IRIS).

Assessment

€5 /student/yr
Market: £4–5/pupil (Renaissance, GL/CAT4).

Student development

€3 /student/yr

STEAM & sensors

€2 /student/yr
The software layer. Hardware is quoted separately — the market sells kits, not seats (LEGO Education CS&AI $339.95/kit, ≈$85/student).

Lesson development

€35 /teacher/yr
Market: from £50/staff member/yr (Twinkl); £60/mo per 20 teachers (Planit).

Fair use — the honest small print

Each personal tier is for its stated audience — Autodidact is one learner, Family is one household, Tutor is a solo professional's students. At sign-up you tell us your numbers and the licence is sized to them, with a 5% tolerance. Go beyond it and we simply warn you (it's in your contract from day one); put it right and you come out ahead — re-license to the tier that fits and we give you a free module we think helps you most; only if you're warned and carry on is the licence ended, with a fair, declining refund. Firm, but fair — and all of it visible before you sign.
