Founder rate · 50% off, locked
Locked for life of the subscription — first 25 schools, through Aug 31, 2026.
Everything's in the plan. No add-ons, no per-module pricing.
Every band — from a 60-family parent club to a 1,500-family independent — gets the same product. Schools turn on what they need.
Six bands. One flat price each. No surprises.
Price is set by your family count at contract start. Mid-year growth is free; you move to the next band only at your next renewal.

The cost isn't the line item. It's the patchwork.
Every parent org already runs on something — group texts that nobody can search later, a hours spreadsheet handed off every August, paper sign-ups one volunteer chair keeps in a binder, a Venmo handle for buyouts, and a board treasurer holding the whole thing together in her head. The annual subscription is small. The real cost is the time, the lost context, and the dozen places where things slip through.
Lumicura isn't a fifth tool to add to the pile. It's the operating layer underneath what your parent org already does — a checked-in volunteer hour lands in the ledger, an announcement carries a read receipt, and the carnival-ticket Stripe payment lives next to the hours buyout. Same work, fewer cracks.
What that patchwork usually looks like
50% off — locked for the life of your subscription.
We're a few months from general availability, and we want 25 parent organizations to shape Phase 1 with us. In exchange for early adoption and direct feedback, founding schools pay half price, forever — even after we raise list prices.
We're being honest: this is a credibility deal. We need design partners more than we need revenue this year. The discount widens after launch — that's a feature.
What you get
Community plan at half price, locked. Direct line to the founding team. Quarterly roadmap calls. First access to new modules.
What we ask
A 30-min kickoff. Use Lumicura as your primary tool for the year. A short written case study we co-draft at year-end.
If we shut down
90 days of read-only access plus a full data export — for every customer, not just founders. It's in the DPA.
Note for District
District and diocese plans are custom contracts — founder-equivalent benefits are written directly into them.
Because the treasurer will ask.
Do parents pay anything?
No. Lumicura is paid by the parent organization (or the school) as an annual subscription. Families log in with a magic link and pay nothing for the app itself. They only pay if your school uses Stripe for hours buyouts or fundraiser tickets — and that’s optional, in-app.
Where does the budget come from?
Most pilot schools pay from the PTO/PTA operating budget. We invoice in USD, accept ACH, check, or card, and issue a W-9 plus a 501(c)(3)-friendly receipt. Some schools instead bake the cost into tuition or a technology fee.
Why a flat band, not per family?
Parent orgs budget once a year. An invoice that creeps up every time enrollment ticks up is the fastest way to make a treasurer dread renewal. A flat band gives you one number to put on the budget line.
What if our enrollment changes mid-year?
We bill on the family count at contract start. Mid-year additions are free. If you grow past your band cap, we move you to the next band at your next renewal — never mid-year, never surprise.
Is there a free trial?
30 days, no card required. We import your real roster on day one so you’re testing on your community, not a sandbox. If it isn’t working for you, walk away — we’ll export everything you put in.
What's the SMS overage about?
Every band ships with 5,000 outbound SMS/year (15,000 on Diocese). After that it’s $40 per 1,000 SMS, billed at renewal. We surface usage in the admin dashboard so there are no surprise bills. Email and in-app push are unmetered.
What happens if we cancel?
You keep read-only access through the end of your billing period, plus a full machine-readable export of everything you put in — announcements, messages, ledger, documents, roster. The export commitment is in the DPA, not a sales promise.
Do you offer multi-school / diocesan pricing?
Yes — the Diocese / District tier covers 1,500+ families or multi-school deployments. It includes diocese-level reporting (commitment hours across schools), SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, and a single contract for the chancery to sign. Pricing starts at ~$8,000/yr and is built around your enrollment.
