In a real deployment, BlueBird would now send a high-priority push notification to your staff's registered phones.
Per-student pricing
Every teacher, counselor, and administrator is included at no extra charge. Each physical campus is priced by student enrollment and includes Beacon and Legacy Wall for up to 1 signage screen, shared across both products.
Like tax brackets, each rate applies only to the students in that range.
Great rate for small schools.
Mid-size schools and charters.
Large elementary and middle schools.
High schools and small districts.
Large districts. Custom rate, contact us.
$995 annual minimum applies when the calculated price is below $995.

Hold-to-activate alarms, training drills, real-time acknowledgement tracking.
Native push notifications to staff phones, no browser required.
Every teacher, counselor, and administrator included. No per-seat fees.
Student roster, hall pass tracking, and overdue alerts built in.
Direct messages and group threads. Read receipts and typing indicators.
7-layer defense stack, per-school data separation, hash-chained audit logging.
Per-user pricing can add up to several dollars per user per year and counts every staff member separately. BlueBird charges once, per student, with all staff accounts included.
The BlueBird Signage package pairs Legacy Wall (touchscreen displays of senior composites, sports records, and decades of school photos) with Beacon daily signage on one self-serve subscription. Buy it standalone — no BlueBird Alerts required — or add it to Alerts so every screen flips to a full-screen alert during an emergency. Start free, then pick a plan by screen count.
Bring your own. Pricing assumes you already have a TV/monitor and a small PC (any x86 mini-PC ~$200 works).
Need BlueBird to source the kiosk hardware? Ask for a one-time quote and we'll ship one preloaded.
One computer can power several screens within your plan allowance. Run Legacy Wall on a touchscreen and a Beacon board on another display from the same kiosk. Need a kiosk in another building? Additional kiosks are quoted at a reduced rate.
Ask when you request a demo, and we'll size it to your campus.

We use block pricing, similar to tax brackets. The first 300 students are $3.00 each, the next 200 (301-500) are $2.00 each, and so on. Each band's rate applies only to the students in that band.
Yes, completely. There's no per-seat or per-user fee. Every administrator, teacher, counselor, and staff member is included in your annual student-based price.
Very small schools (347 students or fewer) would otherwise pay less than $995/year. We apply a $995 annual minimum to ensure we can provide the support and infrastructure every school deserves.
Each school in your district is priced independently based on its enrollment. We can also provide a single district-level invoice. Reach out for a district quote.

No. The Signage package (Legacy Wall + Beacon) is fully standalone and self-serve — start a free trial and pick a plan by screen count, no Alerts subscription and no student data required. If you do run BlueBird Alerts, every signage screen also flips to a full-screen alert during an emergency at no extra cost. See signage plans & pricing →
No. Plans assume you already have a flat-screen TV (or any HDMI display) and a small PC. A $200 mini-PC like a Beelink or NUC works perfectly, and most schools already have one in storage. If you'd rather have BlueBird ship a preloaded kiosk appliance, we can. That's a one-time hardware charge, separate from your subscription — ask us for a quote.
Plans are priced by screen count (start a trial to see the current tiers). A single BlueBird Kiosk OS computer can drive multiple screens within your plan allowance — a school can run a touch Legacy Wall in the commons and a Beacon board down the hall from the same box (it's how our Northeast Nodaway kiosk runs today). Need a kiosk in a separate building? Additional kiosks are available at a reduced rate.
The displayed content stops syncing to the kiosk, but your photo originals and records data stay in your BlueBird account. If you renew later, everything picks back up where it left off. We don't hold your school's history hostage.
Yes. Every Signage plan includes Beacon, our calendar-aware digital signage, alongside Legacy Wall at no extra cost. The same kiosk can run your Legacy Wall recognition display and a live "today at school" board (calendar, upcoming events, announcements, weather, and more) on one screen, or on a second screen driven by the same computer. Like Legacy Wall, every Beacon screen also flips to a full-screen alert if your school triggers a BlueBird emergency. See the Signage package →
