Two commercial models.
One complete platform.
Share the revenue and pay nothing upfront, or pay one flat annual licence and keep every Rand your alumni give. Both models ship the same product, the same Alumni Success Manager and the same 10% bursary ring-fence.
Revenue share, or a flat annual licence.
Neither model is the “real” one. Schools with no alumni budget take Model A. Schools whose finance office wants a single predictable line item take Model B.
R0 upfront. Your school earns 30–50%.
Alumni pay their own membership. The net pool is split with your school on an earned ladder — every school starts at Foundation (30%) and climbs to Partner (40%) and Strategic (50%) on measurable engagement.
- R0 setup, R0 monthly, no capex approval needed
- Alumni pay R55 / R90 / R130 per month
- R25 per alumnus annual income floor after 100 verified
- 10% bursary pool ring-fenced off the top
- Tiers are earned on engagement — and can be relegated
One annual invoice. No revenue share.
You licence the whole platform for a fixed annual fee. Every Rand your alumni give, every sponsorship you sell and every event you run stays with the school.
- Annual billing only — no monthly institutional billing
- All alumni included, no per-member fee
- No percentage of your fundraising, ever
- Bursary ring-fence optional and configurable
- Budget a single line item your board can approve
Flat annual SaaS, in Rand.
Published so you can take a number to committee without booking a call. Annual billing only — institutional SaaS is budgeted yearly.
Enterprise and multi-campus school groups are quoted individually. Launch Assist and Managed Operations are optional and priced separately below.
Alumni membership, in Rand.
On the revenue-share model the school pays nothing. Alumni who choose a paid membership are billed monthly, after a 90-day free trial, and your school earns 30–50% of the net pool.
recent leavers and light-touch members
active members who join groups, events and mentoring
high-engagement members and supporters
Annual membership is 20% cheaper. 10% of every Rand is ring-fenced for your named bursary fund before any share is calculated.
