Why these price points?
Designed for education budgets
Classroom stays under $2,000/year — within a teacher's discretionary budget. School stays under $5,000/year — the common threshold for school-level purchases. District stays under $10,000/year — typically avoids the formal RFP process that can delay procurement by months.
Compare to manual transcription
A braille transcription specialist working just 4 hours per week at $50/hour costs approximately $10,400 per year — and that's before benefits. A full-time transcription teacher costs $24,000+ annually. BrailleBuddy delivers unlimited conversions for a fraction of that cost.
