Clever pricing

Clever publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

As of 31 August 2026, Clever pricing is free across 2 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Entry price: Free
Model: Quote
Tiers: 2
Free tier: Yes

Clever plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Clever pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Clever core rostering and single sign-on	On request	3	Entry tier
Clever paid district products	On request	3	Priced on request

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Clever core rostering and single sign-on

On request

The entry tier. It covers free to united states districts, funded by application vendors rather than the district, secure sync, portal and badges included.

Clever paid district products

On request

Over Clever core rostering and single sign-on, this tier adds:

Identity management and account provisioning
Multi-factor authentication for staff
Pricing quoted per district, not published

What the product covers

The full Clever feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

Other

Secure Sync
Clever portal
Clever Badges
Instant Login
Clever IDM
Application analytics

People bring Clever in for a district that has bought forty classroom applications and wants pupils to reach all of them without forty passwords, primary schools where pupils cannot yet type a password reliably and need badge login, district it that needs accounts created and revoked automatically as pupils enrol and leave, evidencing to a board which licensed applications are used enough to justify renewal. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Clever are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in Education

Too few education tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Clever entry price against other Education tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Clever (this page)	Free	quote	-
Anki	Free	Open source, no licence fee except a paid iOS app	-	vs Clever
Busuu	Free	Free with a Premium subscription	-	vs Clever
PictureThis	On request	Per year, sold via a short free trial that auto-renews	-	vs Clever
Stellarium	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Clever
Lumosity	Free	Free with a subscription	-	vs Clever
Star Walk 2	Free	Freemium, low-cost ad-free subscription upgrade	-	vs Clever

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Clever badges page.

Before you pay for Clever

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Clever runs on web, ios, android, chromeos, and is published by Clever Inc. (Kahoot! ASA) of San Francisco, California, United States. The full record is on the Clever review, and the rest of the category is under best education tools.
