Drawing for a classroom
Doodle Pro
for Schools.
A yearly seat for drawing, lettering, and coloring by hand. The figures on this page are the ones a school can check before it buys.
01 / THE SEAT
$9.99 a seat,
once a year.
Doodle Pro for Schools is a yearly auto-renewing subscription. The US display price in the app’s StoreKit configuration is $9.99 per seat per year. The product ID is app.doodle.edu.yearly, and the billing period is one year (P1Y).
The app never sells this seat. Seats are volume purchases in Apple School Manager. A Content Manager assigns them. While a seat is active, that Apple Account has Doodle Pro and all 20 Coloring Packs. If the organization takes the seat back, or the transaction is revoked, both end.
This schools offer is for the United States only for now. The app itself is not limited to the US in code, and the public listing is a normal App Store app.

The US App Store listing, checked 12 November 2026, shows Doodle Pro Monthly at $3.99 and Doodle Pro Yearly at $19.99. The bundled StoreKit file instead lists those consumer plans at $4.99 and $29.99. Use the App Store price for a personal purchase, and confirm the school seat inside Apple School Manager before a purchase order. The listing’s visible consumer purchases did not include the school or business product IDs.
02 / WHAT A SEAT OPENS
Pro, plus
20 packs.
A free install can draw, undo, redo, and share an image. No Doodle account is required. Saving an editable drawing, and the other rows below, wait for Pro. An assigned school or business seat is Pro. Consumer Pro is the same feature gate and does not include the coloring packs.
Each pack in the StoreKit file is described as 22 templates at $3.99. The All 20 Packs bundle is $29.99 and is described as 440 templates. The US listing shows that bundle at $29.99 and the pack prices it displays at $3.99. A seat includes the packs only while it grants Pro.

| App account or sign-in | Not used | Not used |

The 20 packs are Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Dinosaurs, Space, Ocean, Farm, Safari, Superhero, Castle & Fairy Tale, Sports, Food, Vehicles, Bugs, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, New Year’s, Lettering. Templates are line art to color. They are not generated from a prompt.
Platforms in the Xcode target are iPhone, iPad, Mac via Mac Catalyst, and Apple Vision Pro (visionOS). The US listing names iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision, and requires iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS 26.0 or later. On Apple Vision Pro the canvas is a two-dimensional window, not an immersive drawing space.
03 / HOW A SCHOOL BUYS
From a teacher’s ask
to an assigned seat.
- 1
A teacher asks
Someone who will use the app asks a principal or curriculum lead. Doodle does not take that request inside the app.
- 2
A principal or curriculum lead decides
They compare the seat price, the platforms, and the privacy sheet with the other apps the district already considers.
- 3
District IT reviews privacy
Use the district privacy sheet for what the current app sends. The SDPC DPA, COPPA and FERPA statements, VPAT, and deployment guide are not signed.
- 4
The district raises a purchase order
The purchase order is for Apple store credit, bought from Apple or a reseller. This page does not set a minimum order.
- 5
A Content Manager buys the seats
In Apple School Manager, a Content Manager buys Doodle Pro for Schools (app.doodle.edu.yearly) and assigns the seats.
- 6
MDM puts the app on devices
The organization deploys Doodle through its MDM. An assigned seat arrives as a StoreKit transaction. The student does not create a Doodle account.
On OS 27 or later, an installation from Apple School Manager is recognized as a managed store. Without a seat, the plan screen asks the person to ask a teacher and does not offer the consumer paywall. Access itself comes from the assigned transaction, not from that wording. The app’s deployment target is OS 26.0, so the app can run before the managed-store wording exists.
Mac and Apple Vision Pro seat support is part of version 4.0.2. The US listing’s current version is 4.0.2, released 9 November 2026. Its what’s-new text describes coloring packs and crash fixes. It does not mention seats. This checkout’s marketing version is still 4.0.1, and the seat code already covers Mac Catalyst and visionOS when the OS is 27 or later. Confirm the build you deploy before you promise Mac or Vision seats.
A personal Doodle Pro subscription, if the same Apple Account has one, is what the plan screen offers to manage. The seat is still what includes the packs. The seat holder cannot Family Share, cancel, or take a retention offer on the organization plan.

05 / OTHER APPS
What the listings
actually say.
Schools often look at Freeform, Procreate, ibis Paint, Goodnotes, and Notability beside Doodle. The table uses those vendors’ US App Store listings and Apple’s public catalog, as of 12 November 2026. Where a listing was silent, the cell says so. Prices are US list prices, not a negotiated seat price, except for Doodle’s own school and business seats.

06 / QUESTIONS
Before the
purchase order.
Does a student need an account?
No. The US listing says no account is required to start drawing, and the app has no sign-in of its own. The seat is an Apple subscription assigned to an Apple Account.
Can a teacher buy the school seat in the app?
No. Organization products are not offered in the paywall. On a managed installation the plan screen does not open the consumer store.
Do coloring packs stay if the seat is revoked?
No. Packs that came with the seat end with the seat. Packs the account bought separately stay bought.
Is there a signed DPA?
No. The SDPC National DPA is not signed. It is coming soon. COPPA and FERPA statements are available on request and are not published here.
Which operating system should IT require?
The listing requires OS 26.0. Recognizing an Apple School Manager installation, and the ask-a-teacher wording, uses the OS 27 store-type API. Plan on OS 27 or later for managed seats.
Where is the privacy detail?
The district privacy sheet describes signals, on-device storage, and what is not collected. It is the page to send with a privacy review.
