Two things are priced here, and they are not the same thing.
One is an annual subscription to a product we are still building. The other is a fixed-price engagement to build a system that belongs to you. The first is published so you can plan against it; the second you can start this month.
Product subscriptions
Nimikh EduOps is in build. These are the bands it is specified to sell on, published now so an institution can budget a year ahead rather than discover the number in a meeting.
We quote the total, not the subscription line.
At band S2, the first year is the subscription plus onboarding plus metered messaging plus the payment gateway’s fee — roughly ৳ 3,39,000, against a researched institutional budget ceiling of ৳ 1,80,000. That gap does not close by discounting. It closes by passing the gateway fee to the guardian, which the product supports and which is the default. If an institution will neither pass the fee through nor fund the full cost, the deal does not close, and we would rather say so before a pilot than after one.
| Band | Who it is for | Annual subscription | Onboarding, one-off | Works out at |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S2 | 301–800 students | ৳ 90,000 | ৳ 30,000 | ৳ 113–299 per student per year |
| S3 | 801–1,500 students | ৳ 1,50,000 | ৳ 45,000 | ৳ 100–187 per student per year |
| S4 | 1,501–2,500 students | ৳ 2,25,000 | ৳ 60,000 | ৳ 90–150 per student per year |
| S5 | Above 2,500 students | By quote, from ৳ 2,25,000 | By quote | Quoted with the subscription |
| Coaching | Per branch | ৳ 60,000 per branch per year, or ৳ 6,000 per month | ৳ 15,000 per branch | Quoted with the subscription |
Prices exclude VAT. Nothing here is on sale yet — EduOps is in build, and where it stands is stated on its own page.
What the price does not say on its own
Four things a buyer would otherwise discover after signing. Each one costs us something to publish, which is the only reason it is worth reading.
- Note 01
Messaging is metered, not bundled
A masked SMS part costs around ৳ 0.60, and a Bangla message runs to two or more parts at seventy Unicode characters each — so a Bangla notification is roughly ৳ 1.20 to ৳ 1.40. Bundling that would destroy the margin in the exact week fee deadlines and results arrive together. It is prepaid into your own wallet with a cap you set.
- Note 02
The smallest band was withdrawn rather than sold
An institution under three hundred students generates very nearly the support load of one with eight hundred, and the subscription that would have covered it was barely half. Selling it would have meant either breaking our own margin floor or under-serving the institution. Under three hundred students, we quote the per-branch coaching price or we decline.
- Note 03
Prices are VAT-exclusive and prepaid in taka
Domestic software and IT-enabled services attract 5% VAT, deducted at source whether or not an invoice is issued. We quote excluding it and issue a compliant invoice with a gapless serial.
- Note 04
We are not asking for a premium
At band S3 a thousand-student school pays about ৳ 12.50 per student per month, and at band S4 a school of two and a half thousand pays about ৳ 7.50. Both sit inside the ৳ 8–25 range local systems charge. What differs is the job done and how we operate, not the price.
Indicative figures for the other two products
These are not a rate card. They are the working numbers the products were specified against, and each is validated with paid design partners at a gate before it becomes a price.
Nimikh AgriOps
Indicative: a base fee of ৳ 25,000 per month for the integrator, plus ৳ 1,200 per month per active production unit, plus implementation between ৳ 2,00,000 and ৳ 5,00,000. Deliberately above the local bespoke-development anchor rather than below it, on the strength of multi-site offline field capture. It is validated with paid design partners before it becomes a price.
Nimikh VisionEdge
Indicative: commissioning at ৳ 60,000 per site, then ৳ 18,000 per site per month for a bundle of monitored cameras, plus ৳ 1,500 per camera per month beyond it. The edge box is ৳ 45,000 to ৳ 70,000 depending on the accelerator. The bundle size is set at commissioning from a measured inference budget at your site — it is never quoted before your cameras have been measured.
Indicative and gate-validated. Neither product is on sale, and neither figure is quoted to anyone until the gate it sits behind has been passed.
Custom software, priced as an engagement
This is the work you can commission today. Scope is fixed before anything is built, the price is fixed with it, and anything outside that scope is quoted separately rather than absorbed quietly and argued about later.
| Engagement | Price | Delivery | What it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| WebsiteFor a service business or a shop that needs a credible, fast public presence. | ৳ 25,000one-time | 2–3 weeks | Up to five pages, Responsive down to a 360 px phone, Contact form and WhatsApp handoff, Google Maps and local business markup, Search-engine setup, One month of support after launch.

| Custom systemA system built for one operation — a dashboard, a booking engine, a management portal, an internal tool. | ৳ 1,20,000starting from | 8–16 weeks | Custom database and backend, Role-based access control, Integrations with whatever you already run, An admin surface your team can actually operate, Staging and production environments, Six months of support. |
How payment works
An engagement over ৳ 50,000 is split across three milestones: 40% to begin, 40% at the midpoint review, and 20% on delivery. Each milestone has something you can open and use attached to it, so a payment is released against work rather than against a date.
Invoices are issued in taka against a gapless serial, excluding the 5% VAT that domestic software and IT-enabled services attract and that is deducted at source whether or not an invoice is raised.
What changes the number
Three things, in order of size: how many distinct workflows the system has to hold, how much of your existing data has to be carried into it, and how many systems it has to talk to that we do not control. A proposal names all three before it names a figure.
If what you need is served better by software you can buy off the shelf, we will say so. That conversation costs you one call and saves you the rest.

Describe what breaks and we will come back with a scope, a price and a timeline — or with the name of the off-the-shelf product that already solves it.
