Martialnote

One price, based on your number of active students

Martialnote is free for small schools. Above 25 active students, a flat subscription covers hosting, backups and data security, whatever the size of your school. It is paid yearly — about two months free — or monthly, as you prefer.

What counts as an active student?

A student is active if they had at least one activity in the last 90 days — present or late at a class, a recorded dues payment, or a curriculum item learned or validated — or if their record is less than 90 days old. An excused absence does not count as a visit. The count is automatic and visible in the app, screen by screen, so you never have to keep track of it yourself.

  • Attendance, paid dues or progress in the last 90 days: active.
  • Record less than 90 days old: active.
  • Excused absence: does not count as a visit.
  • Record in the trash: stops counting from that day.

The three plans

Amounts are in Canadian dollars, taxes included. They are the same for every school: only your size matters. The yearly price is the one shown by default; monthly stays available, at the same guaranteed rate.

  • Small schools: $0, up to 25 active students, every feature.
  • Founder price: $149 per year or $14.99 per month, locked for life, for the first 25 paying schools.
  • Regular price: $249 per year or $24.99 per month, taxes included.

Yearly or monthly

The yearly subscription gives about two months free: $149 instead of $179.88 at the founder rate, $249 instead of $299.88 at the regular rate. It is paid once a year, which makes the year's budget known in advance. Monthly stays available, at no extra cost: you can switch between the two whenever you like, and the founder rate, if it applies to your school, does not change either way.

  • Yearly: about two months free, one payment a year.
  • Monthly: the same rate, paid by the month.
  • The founder rate is locked for life in both.
  • Switching plans does not affect the founder rate.

Why a flat rate

Our rate does not depend on the number of students. A school with 30 students and a school with 300 pay the same amount. Tools priced per student push the bill up with every enrolment: do the maths with the rate of your current tool, multiply it by your number of students. That is the only figure that counts, and it comes from you.

  • The same amount, whether the school has 30 or 300 students.
  • No tiers, no surprise in January.
  • Back below 25 active students: free again, losing nothing.

What happens above 25 active students

A school is never shown the door overnight. Two monthly measurements in a row above the threshold trigger a notice; you then have 30 days before the first payment. If the school drops back to 25 active students or fewer during that period, the notice is cancelled and everything starts over. A school crossing the threshold is warned in advance, and the number of active students stays visible in the app.

  • Two measurements in a row above the threshold: a notice goes out.
  • 30 days before the first payment.
  • Back to 25 active students or fewer: the notice is cancelled.

Happy consequence: you still get three free months, give or take ;)

Included at every size

There is no stripped-down plan: the same app serves everyone. What changes with the price is the number of active students, nothing else. A full export of your data stays available at any time, including if you decide to leave.

  • Every feature, from attendance to progress.
  • Unlimited students above the threshold.
  • Full export at any time.
  • First payment refunded on request, within 30 days.

What the app does not do

Martialnote does not collect your students' money. It tracks due dates, the payments you confirm and the balances, but transfers and cash stay in your hands, as they do today. The Martialnote subscription itself, however, is paid online by card, on our payment provider's secure payment page.

Questions

Does the free plan expire?

No. A school with 25 active students or fewer stays free for as long as it wants.

What if I go above 25 active students?

It takes two monthly measurements in a row above the threshold for a notice to go out, then 30 days before the first payment. If your school drops back to 25 active students or fewer during that period, the notice is cancelled. Happy consequence: you still get three free months, give or take ;)

Is the founder price really for life?

Yes, for the first 25 paying schools: the $149 yearly or $14.99 monthly amount no longer changes as long as the subscription stays active.

Can I switch between yearly and monthly?

Yes, either way and at no cost. A school on the founder rate keeps the founder rate, whether it pays monthly or yearly.

Is there a cost per student?

No. Above the threshold the price is flat, whatever the number of students.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The free plan asks for no card, and no feature is held back while you wait.
