- Quote all locations, messaging, payment services, and optional apps.

Frequently asked questions
Can I move my existing school into ProgresslyAI?
Owners can preview and import a CSV student roster, with duplicate checks and plan limits. This does not import past payments, attendance, class schedules, curricula, or saved payment methods. Keep the old records and verify the roster before changing systems.
Does ProgresslyAI automatically charge students?
No. Owners issue invoices and record payments and refunds handled outside the app. Credits adjust charges and preserve history. Online student payments, recurring tuition, packages, and payment reminders are not implemented. The paid ProgresslyAI subscription is a separate school software charge.
Which AI features does ProgresslyAI include?
Pro and Business support report generation from recorded progress and attendance. Staff review and edit private drafts, then explicitly publish them to linked families. Business adds staff-requested readiness, retention, and schedule suggestions. AI does not certify students, change schedules, or automatically contact families.
Can I start without a paid subscription?
Yes. Signup creates a school on the free Starter plan with 25 active students and 1 instructor seat. No credit card is required. AI generation requires a paid plan and a configured provider; this is not a time-limited trial of every feature.
