iSAMS Pricing, Plans & Alternatives (2026)

Overview

iSAMS was founded in 2005 by alumni of Rugby School in England and is now part of IRIS Software Group^[20]. It focuses on independent and international schools and says it serves more than 1,800 schools and groups in over 95 countries, with operating entities in the UK and Australia^[20]^[21].

The platform covers a core MIS/SIS plus modules for bookings, admissions, data and analytics, communication, compliance, finance, HR and payroll, payments and wellbeing, with integrations and APIs^[20]^[21]. Services include implementation, data migration, training, secure hosting and audits. Its product is shaped by boarding and fee-paying school needs, such as activity bookings and complex reporting structures, which state-school MIS products handle less fully.

Named customers include Forest School, Dubai English Speaking Schools, King’s InterHigh, International Schools Partnership, Rydal Penrhos, West Buckland, King’s Ely and Roedean School^[21]. iSAMS publishes no prices. As part of IRIS, a large UK accounting and payroll software group, it can bundle HR and payroll, but buyers should check which modules are native to iSAMS and which are separate IRIS products.
