Compare your options

Use Skultem or build your own?

Building a custom system may make sense for some organisations, but it requires more than paying a developer once. Compare the ongoing responsibilities before deciding.

Existing platform

Skultem

Start with a school management platform

Use an existing platform designed to bring school operations together without commissioning an entirely new software project.

Published price

Custom development

Build and maintain your own system

Commission software specifically for your school. You will need to plan the build, manage delivery, and budget for ongoing operations.

Cost structure

Custom quotation

Development and ongoing costs depend on your requirements, infrastructure, and service arrangements.

  • Scope, design, development, and testing
  • Hosting, domain, and email arrangements
  • Maintenance, security, and backups
  • Future feature development and technical support

A custom build can provide more control, but the initial development price alone does not represent the full cost of operating the system.

Frequently asked questions

Pricing, explained.

Everything you should know before choosing Skultem for your school.

How much does Skultem cost?

Skultem costs Le 50 per student per term. With three terms in an academic year, that is Le 150 per student per year.

Is student portal access a separate fee?

No. Student portal access and system management are covered by the same Le 50 per student per term fee. There is no separate system-management fee.

How do I calculate my school’s cost?

Multiply your student count by Le 50 for the term cost. Multiply that amount by three to estimate the cost for a full academic year.

Does Skultem cost less than building our own system?

Skultem gives your school access to an existing platform without commissioning a new system from scratch. Custom development costs vary by requirements, and ongoing hosting, maintenance, and other services should be included when comparing total costs.

Can our school use its own domain or email address?

Ask the Skultem team about available school-branded domain and email options. Availability, setup requirements, and any additional charges should be confirmed before you commit.

Are hosting, support, and all future features included?

The published price covers student portal access and system management as one combined fee. Please confirm the precise hosting, support, maintenance, and feature-update arrangements with Skultem before signing up.

What if our student population changes?

Your estimate can be recalculated using the updated number of students. Contact Skultem to confirm how enrolment changes are handled for your school’s billing.
