Fedena alternative

    A Fedena alternative for Indian schools

    Fedena is a long-running school ERP with flat yearly plans, published on its site at ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000 plus GST for the web app, and ₹90,000 to ₹1,40,000 with mobile apps. Schools look for an alternative when they want per-student pricing, built-in AI, or WhatsApp-first parent messaging. Acadika charges ₹10,000 a year plus ₹3 per student per month on Core, so a 500-student school pays ₹28,000 plus GST.

    Included in the Core plan and above, from ₹10,000/year + ₹3 per student per month (+ GST).

    What you get with Acadika

    Per-student pricing

    Cost grows with the number of students, so a small school does not pay for a large school's plan.

    AI assistant for staff

    Nova works by voice and chat and runs actions after confirmation.

    Fees with UPI

    No-login family pay links to the school's own UPI, payment claims, receipts and defaulter reports.

    Timetable and cover

    Rule-based timetable generation, drag-and-drop editor and leave cover for every period.

    Teacher AI tools

    Lesson plans, question papers with answer keys and AI assignment evaluation on Staff AI.

    English, Hindi, Punjabi

    The interface, Nova and the main AI tools support all three.

    When might a school look for a Fedena alternative?

    Fedena's site describes a fully web-based school ERP with modules including exams and gradebook, admission, parent collaboration, timetable and attendance, fees and online classes, and branded iOS and Android apps. It states 40,000+ schools and colleges in 200+ countries.

    Its pricing page lists Standard, Premium and Ultimate plans at ₹50,000, ₹75,000 and ₹1,00,000 a year for the web app, or ₹90,000, ₹1,15,000 and ₹1,40,000 with web and mobile apps, plus GST, with unlimited users. For a large school, a flat fee can be good value. For a small or mid-size school, per-student pricing may cost less, and some schools want AI that acts on their data.

    How do the costs compare for different school sizes?

    Acadika Core is ₹10,000 plus ₹3 per student per month. That is ₹20,800 a year for 300 students, ₹28,000 for 500, ₹46,000 for 1,000 and ₹82,000 for 2,000, all plus GST. Fedena's lowest plan is ₹50,000 plus GST regardless of size.

    The plans are not like for like: modules, apps and support differ, and Fedena prices its web-only and web plus mobile app options separately. Compare what each includes, not only the price.
