Cloud-first CIPA filtering priced by enrollment, not by appliance. Pick the tier that matches your footprint, then get a written quote — most arrive within one business day, and nothing is binding until you say so.
Every plan starts from the same cloud-native filtering core. Higher tiers add console depth, AI coverage, and contractual weight — not a different product.

Contracted terms, multi-year availableBecause a fair price for a 400-student elementary school and a 40,000-student county system is never the same number, and posting one flat rate would mean overcharging one of them. Enrollment, site count, device mix, and whether you need on-premise components all move the math.
What we can promise is a fast, honest process: tell us your enrollment and structure, and we build a quote from the same rate card every other district sees — no mystery discounts negotiated in a back room, no "call for pricing" runaround that goes nowhere. You'll see the inputs, not just the output.

Some vendors lock core CIPA compliance behind their top plan. We don't. These six things ship with Single School exactly as they ship with Enterprise.
Obscenity, child pornography, and harmful-to-minors categories blocked out of the box.
Google, Bing, and YouTube restricted mode enforced at the network level, not per-device.
Every tier is cloud-delivered. No appliance to rack, patch, or replace at end of life.
The same categorized domain set powers filtering decisions across the entire product line.
Email support is standard everywhere; higher tiers simply shorten the response clock.
Block and allow events are retained and exportable so you can answer an auditor's question fast.
Six inputs, in the order our team walks through them on a quoting call.
The single biggest lever. We price per student per year, so district size sets the base of the quote before anything else is considered.
A 12-building district and a single K-8 campus with the same enrollment don't administer the same way — more sites means more policy scoping and delegated admin setup.
1:1 programs that send devices home need filtering that follows the device off your network, which is priced differently than filtering that only has to cover campus Wi-Fi.
Single School, District, District + AI Blocklist, or Enterprise/State — each adds a defined bundle of console, reporting, and coverage on top of the enrollment base rate.
Cloud-only is the default and the cheapest path. On-premise components, available at Enterprise/State, add infrastructure and support cost.
Multi-year commitments unlock volume breaks. Annual terms stay flexible but don't carry the same discount.
School budgets get approved once, revisited rarely, and scrutinized by people who weren't in the room when the technology decision was made. A filtering bill that changes shape mid-year — a surprise appliance replacement, an unbudgeted overage fee, a per-device true-up nobody warned you about — turns a routine renewal into a board meeting problem.
We price to avoid that. The quote you sign is the quote you pay, for the length of the term you sign it for.
Three steps from first contact to a signed order — no discovery-call maze.
Enrollment, site count, and whether devices leave campus. Five minutes on a form or a call, whichever you prefer.
Most quotes arrive within one business day, itemized and formatted for procurement review — nothing binding yet.
Once your PO or contract clears, provisioning is a cloud configuration step, not an installation project.
CIPA compliance is the condition E-Rate discounts are built on, and web filtering is one of the categories most districts fund through that program. We built our pricing structure with that reality in mind: quotes are itemized clearly enough to sit in an E-Rate Form 470/471 filing without rework, and our team is used to working alongside the consultants and business office staff who manage that paperwork. If your district funds filtering through E-Rate, we can align contract language and invoicing cadence to match your funding year rather than making you translate between two calendars.
That said, plenty of districts and independent schools buy without ever touching E-Rate — private schools, small charter networks, and state-funded programs among them. The pricing structure doesn't assume E-Rate participation and doesn't penalize districts that skip it. You get the same enrollment-based quote either way; the only difference is which paperwork trail sits alongside the purchase order.
E-Rate's funding year runs July through June, and Form 471 filing windows open early in the calendar year with results that can take months to land. Districts that wait until a filing decision is final before engaging a vendor often end up compressing implementation into the final weeks before the school year starts. We'd rather you talk to us earlier: a written, non-binding quote in hand during the filing window makes the paperwork more accurate and takes the guesswork out of budgeting for the discount share you're responsible for.
If your funding request is denied, reduced, or delayed, our quotes don't expire the moment E-Rate results post. We can hold pricing, adjust term length, or restructure a quote around district general funds so a funding setback doesn't turn into a compliance gap on August's first day of school.
