Hi there,
If you are reading this, you probably already know ImpactMojo. Maybe you have worked through one of our courses on Theory of Change or Programme Evaluation. Maybe you have used our labs to clean a messy dataset at midnight before a donor review. Maybe you found one of our handouts genuinely useful during a field training.
Everything you have used so far is staying free. All of it — the 15 flagship courses, the 45 foundational courses, every lab, every game, every handout. We built ImpactMojo because development education in South Asia is expensive, fragmented, and often disconnected from the reality of the work. That mission has not changed.
But over the past year, we kept hearing the same thing from practitioners: “This is great for learning the concepts. But I need something that helps me do the work faster.”
A programme officer in Rajasthan who needed to transcribe 12 Hindi interviews before a mid-term review. A researcher in Dhaka converting Stata code to R because her new organisation used a different stack. An M&E lead in Colombo who wanted realistic practice datasets so her team could train on data analysis without waiting for actual project data.
These are not learning problems. They are workflow problems — the kind where the right tool saves you hours, not minutes. That is why we built Premium.
We thought hard about pricing. A lot of platforms charge $50–100 a month for tools like these, which prices out most practitioners in South Asia entirely. The Practitioner tier is ₹399 a month; Professional is ₹999, with two months free if you pay annually. We are not trying to build a profit engine — just to cover the server costs for VaniScribe’s transcription pipeline, the compute for DevData Practice, and the time our coaches and mentors invest in your questions.
Here is what will never change: the free content stays free. We will keep adding courses, labs, games, and handouts to the open platform. Premium is not a gate in front of what exists — it is a door to tools we could not offer for free because they cost real money to run.
If the free platform is all you need, please use it. Share it. We built it for you. But if you find yourself spending hours on transcription, struggling to convert code between packages, or wishing you had a structured way to build your Theory of Change, Premium might save you a lot of time.
Thank you for being part of this. Whether you stay on the free plan or go Premium, you are part of a community that believes development practice in South Asia deserves better tools and better training. We will keep building. We hope you will keep learning.
