FAQ — Pricing and licenses
Frequently asked questions about subscription plans, included features and à-la-carte options, as well as billing. For feature details by plan / option, see Omniscol plans and options.
Which subscription plans exist?
Three main plans, plus a catalog of à-la-carte options:
| Plan | Target audience |
|---|---|
| Lite | Very small institutions, freelancers, solo trainers, trials — timetable generation and printing only (no publication or student management) |
| Standard | Typical school (primary, middle or high school), single planning team, weekly timetable |
| Premium | Higher education, continuing education, large volumes, complex multi-site setups |
Added to these are Standard Plus (Standard extended with the Staffing module) and the standalone Staffing offer (supervision management without the rest of Omniscol).
See Omniscol plans and options for the feature details.
Which features are included in Premium?
By default on a Premium account:
- Calendar mode — timetables dated lesson by lesson;
- Calendar availability — availability entered date by date;
- Multiple active timetables — simultaneous publications over the same weeks.
(Groups of groups are not a Premium feature: they are available on all accounts, whatever the plan.)
Which options can be added à la carte?
The remaining contractual options can be enabled according to the account's needs, in addition to the chosen plan:
- Multiple active timetables on a Standard account — exceptional contractual activation, with tailored scoping and billing (the feature is included by default in Premium);
- Linked accounts — linked accounts and shared resource occupancy, enabled on request by Omniscol;
- Custom roles — custom roles with a permission matrix;
- Backup points — restorable account states;
- Collaboration — real-time collaborative editing;
- Staffing — supervision / monitoring module (also available as a standalone offer without the rest of Omniscol);
- Synchronization with external systems — synchronization with an external ERP / IT system (Aurion, Auriga, or a connector added on a project basis);
- Activity logs — access to the logs when the retention depth is configured on the account;
- Add-on modules — additional optional modules, depending on module and contract.
Is there a "Staffing only" offer?
Yes. For institutions that only need supervision / monitoring management, the Staffing module is also sold without the rest of Omniscol. The account then provides only the Staffing module and the minimal user screens.
Where can I find the prices?
Prices are not shown in this documentation: they depend on the contract with your institution (size, features, duration, support). Contact contact@omniscol.com for a quote.
How do I know my account's plan?
The active plan and subscribed options are not visible in the regular administration interface (the corresponding section of Settings is reserved for Omniscol). To find out an account's plan, contact the Omniscol team.
Can I switch plans or add options during the year?
Yes. Adding an option takes effect immediately, without service interruption. Moving from Standard to Premium follows the same principle. Deactivating an option requires that the corresponding features are no longer used on the account (for example no resource sharing between accounts if linked accounts are removed, or no more simultaneous publications if multiple active timetables are removed from a Standard account that has the option).
Is there a trial period?
Yes. An evaluation period is generally offered for new accounts, with support from the Omniscol team for the initial setup. Conditions on request.
How does billing work?
Billing is annual by default, with a commitment over the chosen duration. Specific conditions (billing frequency, payment methods) are defined in the contract.
What happens at the end of the contract?
Your data remains accessible during a contractually defined transition period, during which the full JSON export remains available. Reversibility is guaranteed by contract (GDPR).
