Spirit Education

What Spirit Education does

Spirit Education operates a cross-platform business management SaaS branded XINGKONG (星空), delivered through a self-serve website (spirit-edu.com) and downloadable applications for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. The platform offers tiered subscriptions — Basic at ¥299/month, Professional at ¥599/month, and Flagship at ¥1,299/month, with a permanent free Basic tier — targeting customers across four verticals: chain restaurants, cross-border e-commerce, manufacturing, and online education, plus financial services. The technology stack centers on offline-capable applications with cross-device synchronization, a public API surface referenced in site navigation, and a Beijing-registered operating entity (Haidian District, Zhongguancun area) holding a Chinese Value-Added Telecom Business License (京B2-20240000). Note: firmographics describe Spirit Education as a US non-profit in St. Augustine, FL founded in 2014 with 7 employees, which conflicts with the Beijing-based, for-profit SaaS described in the rest of the source material; the platform-level evidence is treated as authoritative for product and revenue mechanics.
