A package is a bundle of access modules sold at one price for one period. It is what most schools actually buy, because nobody wants to assemble twenty-one features by hand, and because a bundle is cheaper than its parts — Ekati deliberately keeps the individual module prices high enough relative to the package totals that taking the plan always wins.

Three packages ship with the platform. Basic covers a primary school running fully online up to four hundred pupils: classes, lessons, fees, timetables and report cards, at 5 000 XAF a month. Standard adds the Students & Parents portal, the blog, custom themes and far larger limits, at 7 500 XAF. Premium adds AI credits and your own custom web address on top of everything Standard includes, at 10 000 XAF.

The choice between them is rarely about money and almost always about scope. The line between Standard and Premium is drawn at the things a school wants the outside world to see — its own domain, its own colours, and assistance that helps it produce material. A primary school with a telephone library will be perfectly served by Basic for years; a school group running three campuses and a public website wants Premium.

Basic, 5 000 XAF a month

Written for a primary school of up to four hundred pupils that wants to run fully online: classes, lessons, fees, timetables and report cards at one simple monthly price. It bundles the whole core — grade entry, timetables, user management, enrollments, fee structures, payrolls and field mapping — plus generous quantities of course modules, lessons, assessment templates, report card and certificate templates, library books, message templates and blog posts, with two broadcasts a month.

Standard, 7 500 XAF a month

Written for a growing secondary school or training centre. It is Basic with the Students & Parents Portal added — a personal space for every learner and parent with results, fee balances, timetables, homework and announcements — plus custom themes, far larger quantities across the board, and five broadcasts a month instead of two. For most schools that have outgrown a single classroom building, this is the natural step.

Premium, 10 000 XAF a month

Written for large institutions and school groups. It is Standard plus AI credits for lesson plans, quiz generation and summaries, your own custom web address, and the highest quantities of every module. The domain is the usual reason a school arrives here: a portal at your own address, in your own colours, is the difference between a tool the school uses and an identity the school owns.

Moving a school between packages

A school changes plan from its own My Subscriptions page: it picks the package and the period and confirms the payment, and the move takes effect from the moment the new subscription is active. Nothing has to be reconfigured inside the portal, and nothing that was already recorded — enrolments, marks, payments — is affected by the change.

Quantity is what the school actually receives

Every module on a package carries a quantity, and that number is the practical size of the plan. Basic bundles 80 course modules, 1 000 lessons, 20 report card templates, 200 library books and 2 broadcasts a month. Standard raises them to 150, 2 000, 40, 400 and 5. Premium reaches 250 course modules, 3 000 lessons, 80 templates, 600 library books and 10 broadcasts — the difference a school feels in its first term is rarely a feature, it is running out of something.

Unit price and the total

Each module inside a package shows its unit price, and the Total at the bottom adds quantity times unit price across the whole bundle. That total is the useful number to check after any edit: it is the bundled value of the plan, and the rule Ekati keeps is that it stays well below what the same modules would cost bought individually.

Why a bundle is always the better buy

Because the same eight core modules — grade entry, timetables, user management, enrollments, fee structures, payrolls, field mapping and promo codes — are in all three packages, and their unit prices add up to more than the difference between the plans. A school on Basic would pay several times the Standard price to assemble an equivalent set by hand. That is the design, not an accident, and it is why the packages are the natural thing to sell.

Turning a package off is different from changing it

Unticking Active removes a package from what new subscriptions can buy while leaving every school already on it running normally. Use it when a plan is being retired. To change what a plan contains, edit the package instead — and read the Total again afterwards.
