Apps from ₹50,000 · Fixed quote within 2 hours of the meeting · Serving businesses across India
Quick answer
How much does a school management app cost in India, and who can build one?
Mana Studio builds it as an Android + iOS app (with a web admin panel for the school office), with optional AI features. It starts from ₹50,000 for a focused first version covering attendance and fees, with a full product including homework, report cards, a parent app and transport tracking at ₹1,00,000. Book a free 30-minute meeting and you get a fixed quotation within 2 hours of the meeting. A realistic timeline is 6–8 weeks for the MVP and 10–12 weeks for the full build. Mana Studio is based in Warangal, Telangana, and works with schools across India, in English, Telugu and Hindi. It replaces registers, spreadsheets and scattered WhatsApp groups with one system the office, teachers and parents all use.

What running a school looks like without this
Attendance in a paper register that someone re-types into Excel at month end. Fee receipts written by hand. Homework announced verbally or in a class WhatsApp group that scrolls past before half the parents see it. None of it is searchable, and nothing talks to anything else.
What we build
- Digital attendance, taken by teachers on the app in seconds
- Fee collection with receipts, due reminders and payment history
- Homework posting per class, with photo/PDF attachments
- Report cards generated per term
- Separate parent app: their child's attendance, fees due, homework
- WhatsApp alerts for absences, fee due dates and new homework
- Transport module: bus route and approximate arrival status
Who uses it
A web app / PWA version — usable from a browser, no store install — is also possible if that fits your users better.
- Admin/office: fees, attendance reports, staff management
- Teacher: marks attendance, posts homework, enters marks
- Parent: sees their child's attendance, dues and homework, gets alerts
What you own at the end
Full source code, the Play Store and App Store accounts in the school's name, and the student and fee database. No recurring licence fee to us.
AI that removes manual work
AI is optional. These are the add-ons that pay for themselves by taking a repeated manual job off someone's desk.
WhatsApp bot for fee and timing questions
Today: The school office answers the same "is fees due" and "what time does school close today" questions all day.
With automation: A WhatsApp chatbot answers routine questions from the school's own data and forwards anything it can't handle to the office.
Attendance anomaly alerts
Today: A student's falling attendance goes unnoticed until report card time.
With automation: The system flags a pattern (say, three absences in a week) to the class teacher automatically.
Report card drafting
Today: Teachers write remarks for 40 students by hand, one at a time.
With automation: A first-draft remark is generated from a student's marks and attendance for the teacher to edit and approve.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a school app cost?
An MVP with attendance and fees is ₹50,000; the full product with a parent app and transport is ₹1,00,000. You get a fixed quote within 2 hours of a free meeting.
How long does it take to build?
6–8 weeks for the MVP, 10–12 weeks for the full product.
Does it work with patchy internet?
Attendance and homework entry can be done offline on the teacher's app and sync once a connection is available.
Is the parent app in Telugu and Hindi?
Yes, the parent-facing app can be built in English, Telugu and Hindi.
Who owns the student data?
The school does. The database and store accounts are registered in the school's name, and the source code is handed over.
Can you customise a ready-made school ERP instead?
Only where the product's API genuinely allows it. Most ready-made ERPs lock you into their fee structure and reports; a custom build avoids that.
Is there a monthly cost after launch?
An optional care plan at ₹8,000 per month covers updates and bug fixes; it's not mandatory.
