Frequently asked questions

What is the price of each product plan?

Your cost is calculated based on the number of students you have and which features you need. Please contact us for assistance and to get a tailored quote.

Is there a free trial available?

Yes! There is a free trial available for many of our products, to set one up, you must first book a demo with our team to assess our fit for your school, then we can help to setup your trial.

How quickly will we see results with Orah?

It depends on the product and your school's appetite for change. Attendance Insights & Alerts can be operational within a few hours depending on which Student Information System you use. Orah's Student Location products require some systematic change, but most schools report strong positive feedback from staff within the first 2 months of making the switch.

For our Behavior & Well-being products, and in particular, schools implementing Mood Checks, we're seeing meaningful results within the first 2-3 weeks.

What hardware do I need?

All Orah products can be run on any device with an internet browser connection.
The Orah Checkpoint App requires an iPad running on iOS 10+ for automated student check-ins.

Can I buy Orah products on their own?

Yes. You can build your Orah bundle to your specific school specifications. Contact us to learn more about what plan is best for you.

Is there onboarding and implementation support?

All schools will have their own dedicated success manager who will build a custom onboarding plan with you, and be there to help you at every step of the way. This is an additional one-time charge that is added to your first subscription term.

To ensure your success, you may be able to purchase in-person training as an optional add-on, depending on your location.

Can you account for all your students on demand? With Orah, you can.
