Slate pricing

How does Slate pricing work?

Technolutions publishes Slate admissions pricing based on the number of applications an institution receives each year. Different application-volume tiers have different annual license costs.

Jetstream has a flat annual license with no per-application or per-user limits. The same platform and features are always available, regardless of the size of your institution or recruitment efforts.

A different implementation model

A CRM that fits your institution

Slate gives institutions a range of configuration options for adapting the platform to their own processes.

Jetstream takes a different approach.

Jetstream is a complete higher education CRM with prospect management, recruitment activities, communications, reporting, forms, automation, and other tools for managing the student recruitment process.

We also recognize that every institution has its own workflows, terminology, data, and processes. We configure and customize Jetstream around the way your institution works.

Users configure reports, automations, triggers, forms and surveys, communications, and other workflows themselves. When your institution needs something beyond the platform’s existing capabilities, our team develops it.

You get a complete CRM, without having to force your institution into a predefined way of working.

  • Complete higher education CRM
  • Configured around your institution’s workflows
  • Users can configure reports, automation, and workflows
  • Custom development when you need it
  • Direct access to the people who build Jetstream
A CRM that fits your institution
