How to read this comparison
Most school ERPs cover the basics: student records, fees, attendance, exams and a parent app. The real differences are in what is included in the price, who does the setup work and where the software runs.
- Per-module pricing looks cheap at first, then grows as you add transport, WhatsApp or payroll. Ask for a 3-year quote with every module you will need.
- On-premise gives you control of the server, but you need IT staff for backups, security and upgrades.
- Open source is free to download, but hosting, customisation and support cost money and time.
- Migration is where many switches fail. Confirm in writing who imports your students, fee dues and marks.
