EduWave

• EduWave pricing is subscription-based and scales with the number of users or classes. Vendor quotes are tailored to each customer’s needs.
• Entry-level costs can be very low per unit. For example, the LMS Package starts around $4.99 per user per year.
• No free version or free trial is permanently available; all plans are paid (though ITG does offer free demo trials for evaluation).
• Packages are tiered by functionality: higher-tier packages add SIS and admin modules. For example, parent and teacher portals appear in the School’s LMS package (but not in the Teacher’s Package), while full school management tools (report cards, scheduling, etc.) are available only with the Full or District packages.
• The District Package requires contacting ITG for pricing; it covers very large deployments (city, state, or national level).

Teacher’s Package

Ideal for: Individual teachers or small private tutors who lack an institutional LMS. ITG positions the Teacher’s Package as a quick-start solution for educators at schools that “don’t have a teaching platform”. It is an entry-level, low-cost option for deploying EduWave on a per-class basis.

What to know about this plan: It is a basic course and content management for individual instructors. Includes adaptive learning modules, student assessment/grades, student tracking, communication tools, and an online Student Portal for accessing lessons and progress. It is designed for educators at a single school or small academy with no existing LMS.

Core features:

• Basic course and content management for individual instructors.
• AI-driven lesson adjustments to student pace.
• Grading tools for assignments and quizzes with grading tools.
• Basic performance tracking and progress reports.
• Communication through messaging, announcements, and discussion tools.
• Student Portal or a simple LMS interface where students access coursework and receive feedback.

School’s LMS Package

Ideal for: Small-to-medium schools and training centers that need a full-featured LMS but do not require comprehensive administration modules. It’s suitable for an entire school launching EduWave across all classes.

What do you know about this package? Builds on Teacher’s features and adds school-wide portals. In addition to the Teacher’s modules, it provides a Teacher Portal (for educators’ collaboration) and a Parent Portal. This package omits full administrative features (no grading transcripts, scheduling, etc.) – it focuses on delivering courses and basic student tracking at the school level.

Core features: All of Teacher’s Package plus:

• Parent Portal to view student progress and communications.
• The Teacher/Admin Portal is a central dashboard for educators/administrators to manage courses and user accounts.

This plan includes all essential online teaching needs, such as courses, content, quizzes, etc. , for a single institution. It is often chosen by schools that want more than just a teacher’s toolkit but are not yet ready for a full SIS/administration system.

School’s Full Package

Ideal for: Larger schools, academies, or colleges that require a complete educational management solution. This package is designed for institutions that want to handle not only online learning but also full academic administration on one platform.

What do you know about this package? Adds complete administration tools to the LMS. Along with all School’s LMS features, it includes an integrated School Management System and Academic Setup (for school data), plus scheduling and report card management. This package is intended for institutions that need both online learning and full student records administration.

Core features: Everything in the School’s LMS Package plus:

• Tools for managing school-specific data, such as classes, subjects, terms, et,c and administrative settings.
• Configuration for curricula, grading schemes, and academic years.
• Scheduling modules for timetabling and classroom
• Automated generation of report cards, transcripts, and certificates.
• In-depth analytics on student performance and school metrics.

By adding these SIS/administrative components, the Full Package allows a single school to run virtually all academic operations within EduWave.

District Package

Ideal for: Multi-school deployments – for example, a school district, government education department, or national program that needs district-wide control.

What do you know about this package: The most comprehensive package for multi-school (district/national) deployments. It encompasses all School’s Full features and layers on district-level functionality: district-wide reporting dashboards, multi-school management (adding or transferring schools), Community Portal, and full chain-of-command controls across schools.

Core features: All Schools’ Full features plus:

• District Reporting & Dashboards: Aggregated analytics across all schools.
• Multi-School Management: Tools to add/remove schools, manage transfers, and oversee resources at a district level.
• Community Portal: A shared portal for district-wide announcements and resources.

This enterprise-level package is customized per client. Given its scale, pricing is quote-based only. ITG explicitly notes that institutions should contact sales for district pricing.

What Users Say About EduWave

Users highlight the benefit of having all needed educational solutions (LMS, SIS, CC, EMIS) under one roof. This suggests that educational organizations value EduWave’s ease of use and comprehensive feature set, which can justify its custom pricing for institutions that need an integrated solution.

Choosing the Right EduWave Package

Selecting a plan depends largely on scale and feature needs:

• Single Classroom or New Teachers: For an educator piloting an e-learning program, the Teacher’s Package offers a low-risk start. It provides basic LMS tools without requiring school-wide commitment. If only one or a few teachers need EduWave initially, this package covers those needs affordably.
• Small to Medium School: A typical K-12 school should consider the School’s LMS Package or Full Package. If the priority is online course delivery and user management, the LMS Package is sufficient. If administrative tasks must also be centralized, the Full Package is the appropriate choice. In practice, an expanding school often begins with the LMS Package (cheaper per user) and upgrades to Full as admin needs grow.
• Growing District or Organization: Entities spanning multiple schools or requiring a SIS nationwide should consider the District Package. This tier is designed for large-scale rollouts. It offers features like inter-school reporting and centralized management that schools do not need. Organizations at this level must contact ITG for a quote and often negotiate multi-year contracts.
• Budget and User Count: Because EduWave is priced per user, institutions should match the plan to their size. For example, a larger school with 1,000 users choosing the Full Package would need a higher budget. It’s important to project user counts (students + staff) when evaluating cost.
• Features and Growth: As needs expand, schools can upgrade to a higher package. (ITG’s model suggests one can start with an entry package and move to a higher one later.) Furthermore, EduWave’s quote-based pricing means features can be added on or negotiated (for example, adding more teacher portals or analytics). Always consult the EduWave sales team to understand how adding users or modules affects pricing.
• Licensing Model: EduWave appears to sell annual subscriptions. Though not explicitly stated, the pricing per year implies annual licensing (with possible monthly payment options for the Teacher’s Package). Annual contracts often provide better rates. The official site offers free trials for each package, so institutions can test before committing.
  

For many educational institutions, EduWave’s value lies in consolidation. EduWave combines LMS, SIS, and collaboration systems to improve data consistency. Given its broad capabilities, EduWave justifies its higher price by replacing multiple tools.

Its cost-effectiveness depends on each organization’s needs. Small schools with only basic LMS needs might find it more than they require (and could consider simpler platforms). However, for a school that also needs built-in student record management and district oversight, EduWave often delivers a better ROI by integrating these into a single suite.

Alternatives to EduWave

EduWave competes with other enterprise LMS/SIS platforms. Key alternatives include:

Choosing EduWave is largely about matching scale and needs:

• Small educators or pilot projects: The Teacher’s Package is best for individuals or single-class pilots. It is affordable and requires no multi-school commitment.
• Growing schools: Start with the School’s LMS Package for full course delivery, and upgrade to Full if/when administrative features become necessary. This approach spreads out costs as the school expands.
• Large institutions and districts: The Full and District Packages provide the richest functionality. Districts gain centralized control and analytics, which are crucial for state- or nationwide programs. Remember that larger deployments usually secure volume discounts.

EduWave offers flexibility. There are no rigid, publicly stated long-term contracts; pricing is quote-based, so customers can negotiate terms. Organizations can often adjust license counts or features annually to suit changing enrollment or budgets. Importantly, because EduWave is modular, clients can start with a smaller package and expand later. For example, a school might begin with the LMS Package and later add the administration modules (or switch to the Full Package) when ready..

How much does EduWave cost?

EduWave does not publish fixed prices. Its plans are custom-quoted. The basic starting price is $4.99 per year. For precise costs, institutions must contact EduWave/ITG for a tailored quote.

Is there a free plan or trial?

There is no permanent free tier of EduWave. The vendor does not offer a free forever plan. However, ITG provides free demo trials for each package on request, allowing schools to evaluate the system before purchasing.

What’s the difference between the packages?

The packages differ in modules and scale. Teachers’ is for a single instructor/class (basic LMS). The School’s LMS package adds portals for parents and teachers. The Full Package adds complete school administration (SIS) features, while the District Package is enterprise-level (multi-school, district features).

Can I change plans later?

Yes. EduWave’s model is flexible, so organizations can upgrade to a higher-tier package as their needs grow (for example, moving from the LMS Package to Full).

Does EduWave charge transaction or per-course fees?

No. EduWave is sold as a flat subscription license – either per user or per class – and does not impose additional transaction fees for assessments or data storage. All fees are included in the quoted price.

Is EduWave worth it?

EduWave can be worth the investment because it consolidates multiple systems. Clients trade potentially higher subscription costs for the convenience of one integrated platform. If an institution needs an LMS, SIS, and collaboration in one place, EduWave’s comprehensive feature set often outweighs the cost.
