Which SSMS edition fits your school?

A quick decision guide

• Choose Lite if you are a single school or pre-school up to a few hundred students and your priority is admissions, attendance, exams, report cards, fees and parent communication. Your accounts and payroll stay where they are for now.
• Choose Pro if you want one system for every office — accounts with Tally export, HR and payroll, transport, library, government returns and a school website. This is the edition most established K-12 schools choose.
• Choose Premium if you are a boarding school or a large campus with hostels, a mess, stores, a canteen, many assets or staff quarters — or you want AI tools for teachers.
• Choose Enterprise if you run several schools, need a dedicated database or on-premise installation, or need custom integrations.

Students and price

Each edition includes a number of students per school (300 in Lite, 1,000 in Pro, 2,000 in Premium), with a small per-student charge above that. As schools grow, the next edition usually becomes better value while adding modules — the quote builder shows you the numbers instantly.

Upgrading is a switch, not a migration

Every edition runs on the same platform. Upgrading switches modules on; your data, users and settings don't move.
