Pricing questions
How does pricing work?
HomeschoolGo is a flat annual subscription — $199/year for Essentials or $299/year for Plus. Whether you have 12 families or 120, you pay the same amount. Not per family. Not per seat. Just one flat fee for your whole co-op, no surprises.
What’s the difference between Essentials and Plus?
Essentials covers everything you need to run a co-op: roster management, class scheduling and registration, calendar, communication tools, and a billing summary export for your treasurer. Plus adds Stripe payment collection for dues and fees, bulk invoicing, class fee management, a custom public page builder for your co-op’s website, the full treasurer report suite (overdue-balance aging and year-end teacher 1099 exports), and texting: 2,500 texts a year to your families from your co-op’s own number. Essentials does not include texting.
Can I import our existing member list?
Yes. If you’re coming from Homeschool-Life.com, a spreadsheet, or another system, HomeschoolGo supports roster import. Your families won’t have to re-enter their information from scratch. Reach out after you start your trial and we’ll walk you through it.
When does my annual subscription renew?
Your subscription renews one year from your first payment date. We’ll notify you before renewal so you have plenty of time to review or cancel.
Can I switch plans mid-year?
Yes. During your trial you choose a plan when you subscribe. Once you’re paying for a plan, email [email protected] and we’ll change it for you. Ask about the price and timing of the change when you write.
What happens to our data if we cancel?
Access continues through the end of your paid period. No refunds are issued for unused time. Before you leave, the owner or an admin with the view reports permission can download a ZIP backup with CSV files and JSON.
Are there any additional fees beyond the subscription price?
On the Plus plan, Stripe charges standard processing fees when families make payments through your co-op: 2.9% + 30¢ per card transaction, or 0.8% capped at $5 for bank (ACH) payments. These fees are set and billed directly by Stripe to your co-op’s connected Stripe account. HomeschoolGo does not set or collect them. Texting is included in Plus, with no separate carrier charges to your co-op. If you want more texts than the included amount, you can buy packs, covered in the next question. The Essentials plan has no third-party fees.
How does texting work, and what does it cost?
Texting is included with the Plus plan: 2,500 texts a year, sent from your co-op's own texting number. Your included texts arrive when your first paid Plus year starts, and unused texts never expire. A text is up to 160 characters sent to one person, and a longer message uses one text per part. If you use them up, you can buy more: 500 texts for $15, 1,000 for $25, or 2,000 for $45. Packs never expire either. Essentials does not include texting, so it is the main reason to choose Plus.
Does my co-op pay this, or do families?
HomeschoolGo charges your co-op one flat annual fee: $199/year or $299/year. What you do with that cost is up to you. You could fold it into your annual family dues. On the Plus plan, you can also collect dues and fees directly through HomeschoolGo.
