What to check before you choose or switch

• SA-SAMS direction — does the platform only import into SA-SAMS, or does it sync both ways (attendance/marks flowing back out)?
• Pricing structure — per-learner, per-module, or flat licence? Ask what happens to the price as you add fees, transport, or events tracking.
• Parent experience — is there a dedicated parent app, or is communication bolted onto an admin-first system?
• Migration support — who moves your existing learner, parent, and historical data, and how long does it take?
• What's included vs. upsold — ask whether communication, fees, or transport modules are included in the price or charged separately.

Where MyEncore fits

MyEncore was built SA-SAMS-first, with two-way sync as a standard feature rather than a paid add-on. Every module — communication, fees, transport, tuckshop, discipline, sports, AI marking — is included at every pricing tier, so the price doesn't climb as a school switches on more of the platform.

Pricing

MyEncore is R50 per learner per year for schools under 1000 learners, or a five-year taper starting at R27 in Year 1 for schools with 1000+ learners (full pricing breakdown). No per-module surcharges; a once-off R2,500 onboarding fee is included when you pay the year upfront; training is free.
