New Pricing & PebbleGo Packages For 2026-2027โ€‹

As we enter the 2026 budgeting season, Vita-Learn is committed to helping your schools plan ahead with clear pricing and new opportunities for the upcoming school year. We are publishing pricing now to ensure you have the information you need well in advance of the July 15, 2026, order deadline.

Please note that Capstone has restructured the PebbleGo bundles, and in some instances this has resulted in minor pricing changes (some up and some down). If you have questions about the new ways that PebbleGo is being bundled, please contact Angie Ross, our account executive to help answer questions. Some examples of how to map your current subscription to the new bundles and product names.

  • PebbleGo Bronzeย –> PebbleGo Classic K-2+
  • PebbleGo Silver (with PebbleGo Next) subscriber –> PebbleGo Classic K-5+
  • PebbleGo Silver (with Spanish) + Connect/Create –> PebbleGo Premier K-2+
  • PebbleGo Gold (with Next & Spanish) –> PebbleGo Classic K-5+ and add-on PebbleGo Spanish K-5+
  • PebbleGo Gold (with Next & Read More) –> PebbleGo Classic K-5+ and add-on Read More (note Read More will sunset, June 2027.
  • PebbleGo Gold (with Next, Spanish, and Connect/Create) –> PebbleGo Premier K-5+ and add-on PebbleGo Spanish K-5+

The Power of the Consortia: Why On-Time Orders Matter

Vita-Learnโ€™s ability to negotiate these deeply discounted prices is entirely dependent on our collective strength. Last year, our consortia aggregated 75 PebbleGo licenses. This just barely qualified us for a special pricing tier typically only seen by very large urban districts with 75+ elementary schools.

By standing together, Vermont’s small districts enjoy the same “buying power” as the nation’s largest districts. However, this power is hampered when orders are submitted late. When we cannot present the full aggregated volume to the vendor on time, our negotiating leverage decreases. If we do not assemble the consortia group of 75 schools by the deadline, the consortia may not qualify for this special pricing — even if we ultimately reach 75 schools after the deadline.

Action Item: If your school cannot issue a PO before June 30, or the person responsible for placing the order is on summer break in July, please make appropriate arrangements and begin your internal approval process now. We need all orders finalized by July 15, 2026, to protect these rates for everyone.

To accomodate late orders which may not be included in an aggregated and discounted order, pricing may rise for all orders placed after July 15, 2026 (note the pricing with strikethrough format below)
