How is pricing calculated?
We use volume-based bracket pricing so your per-student cost decreases as you serve more students. Your first 50 students cost more per student, then students 51-100 cost less, and so on. This means there are no pricing cliffs. If you grow from 100 to 101 students, you only pay the incremental rate for that one additional student. Use the calculator above to see your exact price, or contact us for a detailed breakdown.
How do we count "students served"?
Total distinct students with active program participation during the year. For example, if you serve 80 high school students and 120 college students, that's 200 students total. We define this clearly in all contracts and offer a +10% buffer for tier boundaries (e.g., serving 165 students? You won't see a price increase until 181 students).
Can we defer implementation until our grant starts?
Absolutely. We understand grant timelines. Sign your contract now, and we'll schedule implementation to begin when your funding is available. We'll even help you include Overgrad in your grant proposal with budget templates and sample language.
What if our program grows during the grant cycle?
We offer +10% enrollment buffer in all contracts. If you outgrow your tier, we'll adjust at renewal, never mid-contract. Growth is good! We want to support your success, not penalize it.
Do you offer discounts for multi-year grants?
Yes! We offer 5% off Year 2 and 10% off Year 3 when you commit upfront. This aligns with typical 3-year grant cycles and gives you budget certainty. We also offer special pricing for collaborative networks serving multiple CBOs.
What happens to our data if we need to cancel?
You get a full data export in CSV format. Your data is always YOUR data. We'll provide student profiles, outcomes, communications history, everything you need to transition to another system or continue tracking manually. No hostage-taking, ever.
Are there really no hidden fees?
Really. Your annual tier price + one-time implementation fee = total cost. No per-user licensing. No surprise consulting fees. No 30% "support" fees. The only variable cost is SMS messaging, which uses your own Twilio account (typically $0.01/message) so you control and budget for it directly.
Can we track students across multiple high schools?
Yes! This is a core feature for CBOs. Your students can attend 5 or 50 different high schools. Overgrad centralizes all student data and outcomes in one place. No per-school setup fees. Tag students by cohort, program, mentor, or any custom field.
How long does implementation take?
Most CBOs are live in 1-2 weeks. We handle student data import, staff training (3 sessions), workflow setup, and texting configuration, all included in your implementation fee. Multi-chapter organizations may take 3-4 weeks for coordination across sites.
