Frequently Asked Questions
ePlatform uses a Shared Collection model, where schools subscribe for an annual fee to access a large, professionally curated library of eBooks and/or Audiobooks, rather than purchasing individual titles. This subscription model gives schools access to their own branded digital library with a collection tailored to their needs. Pricing is based on school size, with options for small schools and the ability to add private content like Class Sets or build a private collection on top of a shared collection.
If your school has fewer than 350 students, our Small School Plan offers the same access to eBooks and Audiobooks at roughly half the standard price. For larger schools, the Standard Plan provides higher monthly borrowing limits and is the most popular choice. If you're unsure, our team is happy to recommend the right plan based on your school size, region, and whether you'd like eBooks, Audiobooks, or both. Contact us or book a free demo, and we'll help you find the best fit.
We offer a free trial so you can evaluate ePlatform with your staff and students before committing — including complete access to eBooks, Audiobooks, and Decodable Readers. We can also provide a login to one of our demonstration sites. Contact us to set one up, and we'll tailor it to your school's timeline and requirements.
We offer Small School Plans for schools with fewer than 350 students at a discounted price. We also offer Bulk discounts for Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs). Tell us about your context and we’ll confirm what offers are available.
ePlatform pricing varies by region, school size, and the type of content you'd like to subscribe to. Plans are available for eBooks only, Audiobooks only, or a combined bundle (discounts may apply). For schools with fewer than 350 students, discounted Small School Plans are available at roughly half the standard price. All plans are billed annually with no hidden fees — hosting, updates, and support are all included. To see current pricing for your region, view the plans above or contact our team directly.
Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at renewal time. If your needs change — for example, your school grows beyond the Small School Plan threshold, or you want to add Audiobooks to an eBooks-only plan — our team can adjust your plan accordingly. Any privately purchased titles remain yours permanently regardless of your subscription status.
