Hello, HighScores community!
As part of our journey together, we’ve always aimed to deliver tools and resources that make teaching and learning easier, better, and more effective. Over the past year, we’ve invested heavily in improving our offerings, which include introducing five new courses (four in math and one in English) and enhancing the platform with new features to streamline your teaching and assessment process—all at no additional cost.
That said, as technology advances and operational costs increase, we had to make some adjustments to our pricing model. Rest assured, this isn’t just about cost—it’s about value. We’ve restructured our plans so you get the best deal when you grow with us. Below, we detail the highlights of these changes and what they mean for you.
Why Did We Update Our Pricing?
The decision to adjust our pricing wasn’t made lightly. After reviewing our offerings and the needs of our partners, we made these updates to ensure we can continue supporting you with top-notch features and services.
Here are the key reasons for the change:
1. We’ve Expanded What You Get (At No Extra Cost):
-> 5 New Learning Courses: We’ve added 4 new math courses and 1 new English course to help you further engage your students.
-> Platform Enhancements: We’ve improved platform usability and added features to make your teaching process more effective.
2. Sustaining Quality:
The incremental pricing adjustments help us maintain the quality of service while covering rising operational costs like application development, hosting, and a dedicated support team.
3. Saving You Money as You Scale:
Our tiered pricing model has been designed to reward institutions that grow with us. The more licenses you purchase, the lower the cost per student, meaning big savings as you scale up.
What’s New in the Pricing Model?
Here’s a breakdown of the changes we’ve made:
1. Slight Price Adjustments for Some Tiers:
The Scholarly, Innovator, Elite, and Pioneers tiers now have a $10 increase per student, per year.
For example:
The Elite tier is now $70 per student (previously $60).
The Pioneers tier is now $60 per student (previously $50).
2. Discounted Plans for Volume Purchases:
As always, the more licenses you buy, the lower the per-student price.
This structure ensures maximum savings for larger groups and institutions.
3. No Expiration on Licenses:
Unused licenses don’t expire—they roll over into the next year, so you don’t lose value.
What’s in It for You?
We understand that even small changes can feel like a lot, so here’s how these updates actually make things better for you:
1. More for Your Money: You now have access to five new courses, additional resources, and new features—all included in your plan.
2. Flexible Licensing: The rolling over of unused licenses gives you peace of mind and greater flexibility to plan your academic year.
3. Scalability: The revised pricing ensures that as your institution grows, your per-student costs decrease.
