Edutris vs Skool vs Fedena vs myClassboard — Honest Comparison (2026)

How to Read This Comparison

This comparison is written by Edutris. We have an obvious interest in how it turns out. So let us be upfront about our methodology.

Every data point about competitor pricing and features in this post is drawn from publicly available information — vendor websites, G2 and Capterra reviews, school community discussions on Facebook groups, and direct queries to vendor sales teams. Where we could not confirm a feature or price with confidence, we have said so. We have not inflated competitor weaknesses or hidden our own.

This is not a paid placement. None of the other vendors listed here sponsored or reviewed this content before publication.

Our recommendation: use this comparison as a starting point, then verify the specific features you care about during your own evaluation. Every vendor has evolved since this was written. Ask for a demo from each one you are seriously considering.

Feature Comparison

The table below covers the core features that matter for a typical Indian school with 200-1,500 students.

Notes: "Add-on" means the feature is available but costs extra beyond the base price. "Not available" means the feature is absent as of the time of writing. Feature availability evolves — confirm during your demo.

Pricing Model Comparison

Pricing is where the differences between these products are most consequential for school owners.

Edutris uses flat-fee, all-inclusive pricing. ₹2,499/month for up to 500 students. ₹4,999/month for up to 1,500 students. Every feature in the table above is included at no extra charge. No per-module pricing. No SMS gateway add-on. No separate parent app licence.

Skool uses per-school pricing that is not publicly disclosed on its website. The sales team quotes based on student count and required features. Based on school community reports, a 500-student school with standard features pays approximately ₹3,000-4,000/month. Skool's strength is its parent-facing interface; its administrative module depth is more limited than the other three.

Fedena Community Edition is free and open-source. The real costs are hosting (₹2,000-5,000/month for a reliable cloud server), IT maintenance (ongoing — someone needs to manage the server, apply updates, troubleshoot), and the absence of support (community forums only). Fedena's paid cloud version starts at approximately ₹4,000/month but has not been heavily marketed in India in recent years. Best suited for schools that have in-house IT capability and prioritise self-sovereignty over data.

myClassboard uses per-module pricing — you select and pay for each module separately. Individual modules are priced at ₹1,500-3,000/month each. A school needing attendance, fees, exam management, parent app, timetable, and library typically accumulates a total bill of ₹8,000-12,000/month. myClassboard has deep CBSE compliance features and is well-established with large school chains, but the total cost surprises schools that compare only the headline module price during the sales process.

Support and Onboarding Comparison

Support quality is difficult to evaluate from a website. Here is what is publicly documented and verifiable.

Edutris: Onboarding includes data migration assistance, staff training sessions (remote), and a dedicated account manager for the first 90 days. Support is available via chat and email with a stated response time of under 4 hours on business days. Weekend support available during exam season.

Skool: Support is primarily via email and the Skool community portal. Schools report generally responsive support for standard issues. Less documented in terms of specific SLA commitments.

Fedena (Community): Community forum support only — no vendor support. Fedena cloud version includes email support. Response times are not publicly committed.

myClassboard: Has a support team and an account manager model for larger school accounts. Smaller schools report longer response times. Given the per-module pricing model, support tickets sometimes require clarification of which module is affected before being routed to the right team.

Which School Type Fits Which Product

Edutris is the best fit for:

• CBSE and ICSE schools with 200-2,000 students
• Schools that want a complete feature set without managing multiple vendor relationships
• Trusts managing 2-5 campuses that need consolidated reporting
• Schools prioritising transparent pricing — knowing exactly what they will pay without a sales negotiation

Skool is the best fit for:

• Schools where parent experience and app quality is the primary requirement
• Smaller schools (under 300 students) with limited administrative complexity

Fedena is the best fit for:

• State board schools with in-house IT capability
• Schools that want maximum data control and are comfortable with self-hosting
• Institutions with very tight budget constraints willing to invest IT time instead of subscription fees

myClassboard is the best fit for:

• Large CBSE school chains (2,000+ students, multiple campuses) with complex reporting needs
• Schools that need deep CBSE compliance features and have budget for a premium product
• Schools with an existing myClassboard relationship where switching costs outweigh pricing savings

What to Ask Each Vendor Before Signing

Before signing with any of these vendors, ask the following questions in writing and get written answers:

1. What is the total monthly cost for our school size and the full list of features we need? (Get it itemised.)
2. What is the onboarding and implementation process? How long does it take?
3. What is your data export policy? Can we export all student and fee data in CSV/Excel format at any time?
4. What is your uptime SLA? What compensation applies if you fall below it?
5. What are your annual price hike terms?
6. Who handles data migration from our current system?

A vendor that cannot answer all six questions clearly in writing during the sales process is giving you a preview of what post-sales support will look like.
