What it is

Four things a generic CRM will not give you

Purpose-built, not adapted

Behind-the-wheel booking stays blocked until the agreement, emergency contact and course certificate are on file. Instructor calendars, drive sheets, parent-then-student e-signature and completion records come standard.

The accounts that matter are yours

Stripe, PayPal, your domain, your texting number and your email-sending account are opened in your school's name, so your payment history, your web address and the number students text never belong to us. We run the hosting and database for you, at our cost. If you cancel, you leave with all of those accounts and a full export of your data.

No per-contact pricing

No per-student, per-contact or per-user fees on any package, and no limit on students, contacts or staff logins. Add instructors and students without the price moving.

Buyable outright

At any time while your account is current you can buy a perpetual licence to the version you run. We keep it online for as long as you want it, with security updates but not new features, and you owe nothing monthly beyond your own texting, email-sending and card-processing accounts. The buyout price depends on your package, and 50% of the build fee you have paid counts toward it. The source code is held with an independent escrow agent and released to you if we ever stop operating.

Four packages

Every package includes the website, hosting and support. They differ in how much of the student platform you get and how many locations and instructors it covers. We quote pricing on the walkthrough, for the package that fits your school.

	SITE	ESSENTIAL	GROWTH (recommended)	COMPLETE
Full student enrollment platform	—	Included	Included	Included
Website assistant	Add-on	Add-on	Included	Included
Courses listed in Google Shopping (product feed)	—	Add-on	Included	Included
Marketing-list sync	—	Add-on	Included	Included
Custom automations and conditional workflows	—	—	Add-on	Included
Multiple locations	—	—	Included	Included
Instructor calendars	—	2	Unlimited	Unlimited
Included change hours per month	1	2	4	6
Build timeline	3–7 days	3–7 days	3–7 days	3–7 days
Students, contacts, staff logins	No limit	No limit	No limit	No limit

Hosting and database are included: we run them and cover their cost. Your texting (Quo) and email sending (Resend, free until you outgrow it) are billed to you directly in accounts you own, along with card processing.

Start smaller and upgrade

Every dollar of build fee you have paid credits in full against the next package up, inside the window:

Site → Essential: within 6 months of launch
Essential → Growth: within 6 months of launch
Growth → Complete: within 12 months of launch
Essential → Complete (skipping Growth): within 6 months of launch

Add-ons

Website assistant on the Site or Essential package
Additional instructor calendar beyond two (Essential)
Unlimited instructor calendars (Essential)
Custom automations and conditional workflows on the Growth package
Geographic exclusivity, per 25-mile radius
Extra development or change work beyond included hours
Content migration from an existing site, CRM or spreadsheet

Get pricing for your school

We walk you through the platform and send a written quote for Site, Essential, Growth or Complete, with the build fee, monthly fee and buyout price.

If you are also looking at an all-in-one automation platform

Several vendors pitch driving schools a "done-for-you automation platform" at $197 to $997 a month. Most are resold sub-accounts on a generic CRM. They are decent products for what they are, and they offer some extras we do not. Here is the comparison, including the places they win.

	Resold all-in-one CRM	Vision Drive
What happens to your business asset
What the software actually is	A sub-account on someone else's platform	Driving-school software we host and run, with payments, domain and texting number in your name
If you cancel	The sub-account is switched off; site, funnels and automations go with it	The software stops, but you keep your domain, Stripe and PayPal accounts, texting number, email-sending account and a full data export
Can you ever own it outright	No	Yes: a perpetual licence; we keep it running with security updates
Contact and user limits	Entry tier caps users and contacts; growth forces the upgrade	No caps on any package
Driving-school work a generic CRM cannot do
Student logs in to see progress, documents and lessons	No student portal	Yes
Lesson booking blocked until prerequisites are on file	Generic appointment booking	Agreement, emergency contact and course certificate checked before a lesson can be booked
Parent signs, then student signs	Generic e-signature	Sequenced guardian-then-student flow built for minors
Per-lesson drive sheets with instructor sign-off	No	Yes, exportable
Completion certificates and records	No	Generated PDFs, records and CSV export
Time to go live	Days, from a generic template	3–7 days, built around your courses
Money
Payment methods	Cards	Cards, bank debit (ACH), WeChat Pay, PayPal, and pay-over-time via Klarna and Afterpay
Processing cost on a $700 package	~$20.60 on card	$5.00 by bank debit, about $15.60 saved per enrollment
Lowest monthly plan	Entry tier, with no website and caps of 3 users and 2,000 contacts	Site costs less, includes a full website and has no caps
Lowest setup fee	Entry-tier setup	Site costs less
Cheapest plan that includes a website	Their mid tier; the entry tier has no website	Site, at well under half their mid-tier monthly fee
Full student platform, monthly	Mid tier, with texting usage billed on top	Essential costs less, even month to month and after your own texting and email accounts
Full student platform, setup	Mid-tier setup fee	Essential costs less
Top tier, setup and monthly	Enterprise	Complete costs less on both
Contract	None; cancel anytime	Month to month, or a lower rate on a 12-month term
Texting and email usage	Billed on top of the platform fee	Paid to your own Quo and Resend accounts, at the vendor's price
Where they currently win, stated plainly
Lead pipeline with drag-and-drop stages	Yes on the mid tier	Not yet; contacts workspace and booking analytics instead
Social scheduling, directory listings, affiliate program, ad manager, voice AI	Yes or as add-ons	No, deliberately
Online course delivery inside the platform	No	In development, not in any package today

What this does not do

None of the following is built, so none of it is priced above, and no date is promised for any of it.

A drag-and-drop lead pipeline. You get the contacts workspace and booking analytics instead. A multi-touch review campaign is also absent: the review request goes out once, with the completion certificate.
Online course delivery inside the platform. In development. Today the platform captures the certificate number, stores the uploaded certificate, and blocks behind-the-wheel booking until it is on file. When delivery ships it is a paid add-on; you will still need to own or license a state-approved course.
A native iOS or Android app. The site is mobile-first and works well on a phone; an app-store build is a separate project.
Compliance work. No curriculum, instructor training, licensing or inspection support, electronic reporting or state filings, and no legal advice. We build the forms and records your training manager specifies; you own what the words say.
Texting consent. You are the sender of record. Consent, opt-outs, quiet hours and A2P/10DLC registration are in your name.

Three questions to ask every vendor, including us

"Show me a student being blocked from booking a lesson because their certificate is not on file." The single most useful thing driving-school software does. Ask to watch it happen in the live system, not in a slide.Our answer: it is part of every walkthrough. Behind-the-wheel booking stays locked until the agreement, emergency contact and course certificate are all on file, and unlocks once the last one arrives. No one at the front desk has to check.
"What do I have in three years if I stop paying?" On a rented sub-account, nothing, and you will have paid for all three years.Our answer: your domain, your Stripe and PayPal accounts, your texting number and your email-sending account were opened in your school's name from day one, so they stay with you, along with a full export of your data. To keep using the software without a monthly fee, buy the perpetual licence: we keep it running, with security updates, for as long as you want it.
"What is my bill in month 13 at 2,500 contacts and five staff logins?" Entry tiers are priced around caps a busy school passes inside a year. Compare the tier you will actually be on.Our answer: contacts and staff logins do not change it. No package charges per student, per contact or per user, and none caps students, contacts or staff logins, so growing past 2,500 contacts or hiring a sixth instructor costs nothing extra.

Not a slide deck. A screen share of the platform on synthetic demo data, never a real student's record. If it is not a fit, we will say so on the call.
