Bloomz pricing: the four tiers, decoded
Bloomz is one of only two vendors in this category who publish a per-student figure at all, which deserves credit before anything else. The difficulty is not secrecy, it is placement: knowing which tier holds the capability you need takes longer than reading the price.
| District | Requirements | Likely Bloomz tier | Bloomz per year | Kastr per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,400 students, rural, 3 schools | Announcements, messaging, translation | $3 | $4,200 | $4,900 |
| 6,200 students, suburban | The above plus forms, e-signature, voice | $5 | $31,000 | $20,150 |
| 18,000 students, urban | The above plus behaviour and integrations | $5–$7 | $90,000–$126,000 | $54,000 |
Bloomz figures are list price times enrolment at the tier a district with that requirement list would land in; actual quotes vary and their beat-any-quote offer may reduce them. Kastr figures are our published rate with no negotiation, because there is none.
The tier map
Bloomz publishes four tiers — $3, $5, $7 and $9 per student per year — alongside a commitment to beat any competing quote by ten per cent. The practical guide, from their published pricing as of August 2026:
- $3 tier. Announcements, two-way messaging, translation. The core of what most people mean by school communication.
- $5 tier. Adds digital forms, e-signature, voice calling and automated notices. This is where most district requirement lists actually land, and the single most important fact on this page.
- $7 and $9 tiers. Broader platform capability, deeper integrations and additional administrative surface.
Before you compare anything, write your requirements down and mark the tier each one sits in. If any single item sits at $5, your comparison price is $5, because tiers apply to the district rather than to the department that needed the feature.
Questions to ask a tiered vendor
Tiering is a legitimate pricing model, but it creates specific questions that a flat rate does not. Six worth asking before signing anything:
- What triggers a tier change mid-term, and what does it cost? If one department needs one feature, does the whole district move?
- Is voice metered on top of the tier, or included? Voice is the most expensive channel in the category and the most likely to carry an allowance.
- Do unused voice minutes or message allowances roll over? Usually no. Worth confirming rather than assuming.
- What happens if enrolment swings mid-term? Both directions. Growth is usually billed; decline usually is not credited.
- Is the price locked, and for how long? A price lock for the term and a cap on increases after the term are two different protections.
- Does the beat-any-quote guarantee apply at renewal? The answer determines whether it is a pricing structure or a customer-acquisition offer.
The one to write down. Question six. A discount off year one changes your budget once; a written cap on annual increases changes every year of the agreement. Ask for both and settle for the cap if you can only have one.
Why their own pricing page is hard to find
A structural observation, offered because it explains why you are reading this page instead of theirs. As of 4 August 2026, 32 of Bloomz's 74 indexable pages carry a canonical tag pointing at their own homepage — including /pricing and all six of their vendor comparison pages. A canonical tag pointing elsewhere tells a search engine not to index that page in its own right.
Compounding it, their navigation anchors carry no href attribute, so no internal link equity flows to any money page, and their site returns HTTP 200 for URLs that do not exist rather than a 404.
None of this affects the product and none of it is a reason to discount them commercially. It does mean that when a district searches for Bloomz pricing, the vendor's own page structurally cannot answer, and third-party pages fill the gap. We would rather be an accurate third-party page than a convenient one, so if you spot something wrong here, tell us and we will correct it.
Our number, for the same arithmetic
$3.50 per student per year below 5,000 students, $3.25 from 5,000 to 14,999, $3.00 at 15,000 and above. One tier. Forms, e-signature, voice, translation, the API and everything else is in the base rate, because there is no other rate.
Fixed for 36 months under §3.2, with year four onwards capped at the lesser of CPI-U or five per cent. Features shipped during the locked term are included at no charge. §7.1 gives you a contractual right to a complete machine-readable export at any time, without notice or fee — today we run that export for you on request rather than it being a self-serve button, and we would rather write the caveat than the nicer sentence.
What we do not have: single sign-on, attachments, photo sharing, push notifications, a behaviour module, a working automated-notice engine, a SOC 2 report, or a single customer. Bloomz has most of that list. Weigh accordingly.
Questions people actually ask
How much does Bloomz cost per student per year?
Bloomz publishes four tiers at $3, $5, $7 and $9 per student per year, plus an offer to beat any competing quote by ten per cent. Which tier applies depends on your requirements: forms, e-signature, voice and automated notices begin at $5.
What is the difference between Bloomz tiers?
The $3 tier covers announcements, two-way messaging and translation. The $5 tier adds forms, e-signature, voice calling and automated notices. The $7 and $9 tiers add broader platform capability and deeper integrations. Most district requirement lists reach $5.
Are voice calls included in the Bloomz base tier?
No. Voice begins at the $5 tier. Ask separately whether voice minutes are metered on top of the tier rate and whether an allowance rolls over, because voice is the most expensive channel in this category and allowances are common.
Does Bloomz's 10% beat-any-quote guarantee apply to renewals?
Ask and get it in writing. A guarantee that applies only to a new-business quote lowers your entry price without protecting your renewal, which is where price pressure in this category actually occurs.
What happens to Bloomz pricing if our enrolment grows mid-contract?
Per-student pricing usually means growth is billed. Ask whether the adjustment happens at renewal or immediately, whether it is trued up annually, and whether a decline in enrolment produces a credit. In most agreements it does not.
