Start free. Refer a school. Earn a free month.
Try School OS free for one month, then invite other schools. When a school you refer becomes a paying customer, your school gets one extra month free.
Your one-time free trial
- Full access to School OS for 30 days — students, attendance, fees, results, payroll and more.
- No payment details needed to start. One free trial per institute.
- Everything you enter during the trial stays in your workspace when you buy a plan — nothing to re-enter.
- Easy data migration: import students from Excel/CSV, and Smart Tech can help move your existing records on WhatsApp.
Please read these details before starting. When the trial ends, choose Starter, Intermediate or Full to continue.
How the referral program works
- Step 1
Start your free trial
Create your institute workspace. Your school gets its own referral code under Settings → Referral.
- Step 2
Share your code
Send your link or code to another school owner, for example on WhatsApp.
- Step 3
They sign up with it
The new school enters your code during signup and starts its own free trial.
- Step 4
They buy a plan
When they become a verified paying customer on Starter, Intermediate or Full, your school receives 1 free month.
Which schools are eligible?
- Any school, college or academy that has started a School OS free trial or is on a paid plan can refer others.
- The referred school must be a new institute on School OS with its own workspace and account.
- Branches under one owner count only when they are genuinely separate schools — managed separately, paid separately and registered as separate accounts.
Rules & regulations
- Reward: 1 month of subscription credit per successful referral. If you are still on trial, your trial is extended by 30 days; if you are on a dated plan, 30 days are added to it.
- A referral is successful only after Smart Tech verifies the referred school's payment for Starter, Intermediate or Full. Trials alone do not earn a reward.
- Self-referrals are not allowed. A referral is automatically marked not eligible if the new school uses the same phone number, or the same name and city, as the referring school.
- Duplicate schools do not count: an institute already registered on School OS (same name and city) cannot be referred again.
- Each new school can be referred only once, and the code must be entered at signup. Codes cannot be added later.
- The referring school must be on an active trial or plan when the reward is given. Credit has no cash value and cannot be transferred.
- Every reward and rejection is recorded in the school's activity log. Smart Tech may refuse rewards obtained through fake, duplicate or misleading accounts.
