QuickSchools is a browser-based student information system for small schools that want to start without training or a sales cycle. Pricing is published per student per month in three tiers. Gaia, at $0.99, covers student and teacher records, attendance, admissions, school fee tracking and unlimited users with chat and email support. Most K-12 schools that care about parent communication will need Apollo at $1.49, which adds the parent portal with online payments, a student portal, parent messaging, homework, report cards, gradebook, transcripts and discipline tracking. Athena, at $2.99, adds automated scheduling, lesson plans, a report creator, sports and after-school activity tracking, plus phone support. Athena modules other than phone support can be added to the lower plans for a fixed monthly price. A minimum charge for 30 students applies per school, and text and voice messages carry telco charges. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.
