Licence schools: one monthly price per school, every feature in every plan.
The monthly price includes active trainees (anyone training that month). Plans differ only by included trainees and unit price — features are the same in every plan.
Plans for vocational schools, Japanese-language schools and universities. “Included” means available from that plan. The table is built from the same settings the product uses.
Cram and lesson schools have Light and Standard per classroom, private K–12 has one plan, and driving, drone and skills-training schools get every feature on every plan.
