EDUCATIONAL PRICING
How it works
The Magic Planet platform delivers proven, quantifiable benefits in learning. We sell the platform as a $6.50 per-student subscription to our software and the world’s largest content library. With a minimum commitment of 500 students for two years, we include Magic Planet hardware at no additional charge. As long as you keep the subscription active, every few years we’ll replace the hardware. This way, you’re assured of getting the best educational outcomes possible.

Pricing FAQs
What happens if I end the subscription?
If you decide to end the subscription after the commitment period, simply return the hardware and uninstall the software.
When are the payments made?
At the start of each subscription year. We also offer multi-year payment options.
What else will I need?
You’ll need to provide a computer, or you can buy one from us with all the software installed and about 200+ GB of content on it. If you want to use the Magic Planet in a library or lobby, where people will be unsupervised, then you may want to purchase a touch-screen. It’s just as you might see in museums, for your “walk-up visitors.”
Why would I buy a District subscription instead of Bronze?
With a District subscription, you can share the Magic Planet platform around a district that may have many more than 500 students.
Can I purchase the hardware, e.g. with grant funding?
Pay for four years of subscription up front, and you keep the hardware. The typical life of Magic Planet hardware is longer than four years, and financing is available, so this is a great option.
With a subscription for 1,000 students, can we get two tabletops instead of one pedestal?
Yes-- and it’s still just a two year commitment.
What if we have fewer than 500 students?
Educational institutions with fewer than 500 students may order any one of the subscriptions to receive the free hardware. The Magic Planet is well worth the investment-- even for small schools.
My school isn’t in the US or Canada. Can I still use the annual subscription pricing?
You can prepay for four years of subscription and keep the hardware. We hope to offer the annual payment option in additional countries soon.
