Choosing the Right Plan

Let's be honest about the conversation that happens in every center owner's head: "This looks great, but what's the catch? How much does it cost? What if we sign up and it's too expensive? What if we grow out of the free version and suddenly everything stops working?"

These are fair concerns. You've probably seen other software that lures you in with a free trial, then hits you with a price tag that makes no sense for a center with 50 students. Or worse — tools that lock essential features behind expensive plans, so the free version is basically useless.

Centerly is designed differently. The pricing is built around a simple idea: start free, and upgrade only when the value is obvious. The Free plan isn't a crippled demo — it's a real, working system that handles up to 75 students with core features. You can run your center on it for as long as you want. And when you grow enough that you need more, the upgrade is instant, transparent, and designed to feel like a natural next step — not a pressure tactic.

The Free plan is designed for centers just starting out or for anyone who wants to try Centerly without any commitment. It's not a trial — there's no expiration date. You can use it forever.

Here's what you get:

- Up to 75 students — enough for a small center or a tutoring practice
- 1 branch — your main location
- Students and parent management — full enrollment, profiles, and parent linking
- Courses and groups — organize what you teach with structured scheduling
- Basic payments — create invoices and record payments
- Notifications — stay informed about what's happening
- Student and parent portals — give your students and their families visibility

This is more than enough for a new center to get fully operational. You can register students, organize them into courses and groups, track payments, and give parents portal access — all without paying a single pound.

The Free plan doesn't include QR attendance, exams, reports, or the Excel data hub — but honestly, if you're just starting with 30–50 students, you might not need those yet. The point is to let you experience the system, build your workflow around it, and upgrade when the features become valuable to you.

The Growth plan is for centers that have outgrown the basics. Maybe you've crossed 75 students and need more room. Maybe you want to use QR attendance instead of paper sheets. Maybe it's exam season and you need a proper gradebook. Growth unlocks the tools that make a center feel truly modern.

At EGP 2,124/month (billed annually) or EGP 2,499 month-to-month, you get:

- Up to 300 students — room to grow significantly
- 2 branches — for centers with a second location
- QR attendance — rotating QR codes that students scan on their phones. No more paper sheets, no more "I was here but you didn't mark me" arguments
- Exams and gradebook — create assessments, grade students, and make results visible in student and parent portals automatically
- Reports and analytics — see your enrollment, revenue, attendance, and exam performance in one dashboard
- Excel import and export — bring your existing student roster from a spreadsheet, and export any data for your records

Growth is where most centers land after their first 3–6 months on Centerly. The QR attendance alone saves hours every week, and the gradebook transforms how you handle exams. Parents start getting real-time visibility into grades, which means fewer calls asking "How did my child do?"

There's a free trial available so you can test these features before committing.

Pro is for established centers that need the full toolkit — no limits, no compromises. If you have hundreds of students, multiple branches, and a team that needs different levels of access, Pro is built for you.

At EGP 4,249/month (billed annually) or EGP 4,999 month-to-month, you get everything in Growth, plus:

- Unlimited students — no ceiling, ever
- Unlimited branches — open as many locations as you want
- Advanced search (⌘K) — press one shortcut and find any student, invoice, group, or course instantly. When a parent calls, you have the answer in one second
- Full data hub — import and export everything, including attendance records and payment data
- PDF receipts — generate branded, professional receipts that parents can download from their portal or that you can print at the front desk
- Real-time notifications — instant alerts for enrollments, payments, attendance, and exams as they happen

Pro removes every bottleneck. Your accountant can pull financial reports in seconds. Your front desk can find any student with a keyboard shortcut. Your parents download their own receipts. Your branches sync automatically.

Like Growth, there's a free trial so you can experience the full power before you decide.

Some organizations have needs that go beyond a standard plan. Maybe you're a chain of 20 centers and need single sign-on for your staff. Maybe you're a government-affiliated institution and need your data stored in a specific region. Maybe you're migrating from a legacy system and need help bringing over years of historical data.

The Enterprise plan is fully custom — pricing, features, and support are tailored to your organization. This can include:

- Single sign-on (SSO) — your team logs in with their existing organizational accounts
- Service-level agreements — guaranteed uptime and response times
- Data residency — choose where your data is stored to meet regulatory requirements
- Migration assistance — we help you move from your current system, whether it's Excel, another app, or paper records
- Dedicated support — a point of contact who knows your setup

Enterprise is for organizations where the decision involves multiple stakeholders, compliance requirements, and a need for white-glove setup. If that sounds like you, reach out and we'll build a plan together.

One thing that sets Centerly apart is how it handles growth. You're never punished for success.

If you're on the Free plan and you hit 75 students, you won't lose your data or get locked out suddenly. Your account switches to read-only mode — you can still see everything, but you can't add new students or create new invoices until you upgrade. This gives you time to decide, without the panic of losing access to your records.

Upgrading is instant. Pick a new plan, and all the features unlock immediately. Your existing data stays exactly where it is — students, payments, attendance, everything carries over seamlessly.

And if you choose annual billing, you save approximately 15% compared to paying monthly. For Growth, that's a savings of over EGP 4,500 per year. For Pro, over EGP 9,000.

Here's a real scenario: You start with the Free plan — 40 students, 1 branch. After 6 months, you've grown to 100 students and you want QR attendance to save time. You upgrade to Growth. A year later, you open a second branch and need PDF receipts for parents who keep asking for proof of payment. You move to Pro. Each upgrade is a natural step that matches where your center actually is — not where a salesperson thinks you should be.

Start free. Grow at your own pace. Upgrade when it makes sense for you.
