Per-student pricing

Pay per student.
No per-user fees. Ever.

Every teacher, counselor, and administrator is included at no extra charge. You pay one annual rate based on your student enrollment.

Each tier applies only to students in that band.

Like tax brackets, each rate applies only to the students in that range.

One price. Every feature.

Every plan includes the full BlueBird platform, with no tiers or feature gates.

Emergency alerts

Hold-to-activate alarms, training drills, real-time acknowledgement tracking.

iOS & Android apps

Native push notifications to every registered device, no browser required.

Unlimited staff accounts

Every teacher, counselor, and administrator included. No per-seat fees.

Hall pass & accountability

Student roster, hall pass tracking, and overdue alerts built in.

Per-user pricing can add up to several dollars per user per year and counts every staff member separately. BlueBird charges once, per student, with all staff accounts included.

Bring your school's story to the wall — and broadcast alerts on it.

The BlueBird Signage package pairs Legacy Wall (touchscreen displays of senior composites, sports records, and decades of school photos) with Beacon daily signage on one self-serve subscription. Buy it standalone — no BlueBird Alerts required — or add it to Alerts so every screen flips to a full-screen alert during an emergency. Start free, then pick a plan by screen count.

Hardware

Bring your own. Pricing assumes you already have a TV/monitor and a small PC (any x86 mini-PC ~$200 works).

Need BlueBird to source the kiosk hardware? Ask for a one-time quote and we'll ship one preloaded.

More screens & kiosks

One computer can power several screens at no extra cost. Run Legacy Wall on a touchscreen and a Beacon board on another display from the same kiosk. Need a kiosk in another building? Additional kiosks are quoted at a reduced rate.

Ask when you request a demo, and we'll size it to your campus.

Pricing questions answered.

How is "per student" pricing calculated?

We use block pricing, similar to tax brackets. The first 300 students are $3.00 each, the next 200 (301-500) are $2.00 each, and so on. Each band's rate applies only to the students in that band.

Are teacher and staff accounts included?

Yes, completely. There's no per-seat or per-user fee. Every administrator, teacher, counselor, and staff member is included in your annual student-based price.

What's the $500 annual minimum?

Very small schools (under 170 students) would otherwise pay less than $500/year. We apply a $500 annual minimum to ensure we can provide the support and infrastructure every school deserves.

Are there discounts for multi-year contracts?

Yes. Prepaying for two years saves 5% off the total. Prepaying for three years saves 10%. Contact us when requesting a demo to discuss multi-year pricing.

How does district-wide pricing work?

Each school in your district is priced independently based on its enrollment. We can also provide a single district-level invoice. Reach out for a district quote.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a fully interactive live demo environment at bluebirdalerts.com/demo, no signup required. You can explore every feature as any role before ever speaking with us. We also offer a personalized walkthrough; request a demo to schedule one.

Signage: do I need BlueBird Alerts to buy it?

No. The Signage package (Legacy Wall + Beacon) is fully standalone and self-serve — start a free trial and pick a plan by screen count, no Alerts subscription and no student data required. If you do run BlueBird Alerts, every signage screen also flips to a full-screen alert during an emergency at no extra cost. See signage plans & pricing →

Signage: do I need to buy a new TV and computer?

No. Plans assume you already have a flat-screen TV (or any HDMI display) and a small PC. A $200 mini-PC like a Beelink or NUC works perfectly, and most schools already have one in storage. If you'd rather have BlueBird ship a preloaded kiosk appliance, we can. That's a one-time hardware charge, separate from your subscription — ask us for a quote.

Signage: how many screens does a plan cover?

Plans are priced by screen count (start a trial to see the current tiers). A single BlueBird Kiosk OS computer can drive multiple screens at no extra cost — a school can run a touch Legacy Wall in the commons and a Beacon board down the hall from the same box (it's how our Northeast Nodaway kiosk runs today). Need a kiosk in a separate building? Additional kiosks are available at a reduced rate.

Signage: what happens to the photos and records if we don't renew?

The displayed content stops syncing to the kiosk, but your photo originals and records data stay in your BlueBird account. If you renew later, everything picks back up where it left off. We don't hold your school's history hostage.

Signage: what is Beacon, and is it really included?

Yes. Every Signage plan includes Beacon, our calendar-aware digital signage, alongside Legacy Wall at no extra cost. The same kiosk can run your Legacy Wall recognition display and a live "today at school" board (calendar, upcoming events, announcements, weather, and more) on one screen, or on a second screen driven by the same computer. Like Legacy Wall, every Beacon screen also flips to a full-screen alert if your school triggers a BlueBird emergency. See the Signage package →
