For most small and mid-size Indian schools, EduGradUP is the more cost-effective choice: a flat from ₹9,000/year with all 43 modules & features and the full mobile app in every plan versus Fedena's ₹40,000+ with per-student fees. EduGradUP includes a Hindi interface, built-in WhatsApp parent alerts, an offline-capable parent app, and free setup and training — features Fedena charges extra for or does not offer. For school groups, EduGradUP's portfolio-level dashboard lets owners and trustees monitor every branch or campus from a single login, included at no extra cost — something Fedena typically restricts to a paid tier. Fedena is a mature, widely-used platform; the comparison below weighs pricing, modules, language support, and setup time so you can decide.

Comparison based on publicly available data as of March 2026. Fedena features may vary by plan.
Hundreds of schools across India have made the switch. Here are the four most common reasons they cite.
Schools save ₹28,000+ per year by switching to EduGradUP's flat from ₹9,000/yr pricing. No surprise invoices for add-ons, extra students, or premium support tiers. See our fee management software page for details.
Teachers and office staff in Hindi-medium schools struggled with Fedena's English-only interface. EduGradUP provides a native Hindi interface that staff actually use without frustration — including for attendance marking and daily tasks.
Parents expect a mobile app. EduGradUP includes a free Android and iOS app with fee payments, attendance alerts, and homework — plus WhatsApp notifications that parents actually read.
Fedena's self-hosted model means weeks of server setup. EduGradUP is 100% cloud-hosted on AWS Mumbai — schools go live in 24 hours with free Zoom onboarding and data migration. Exam management and report cards are live from day one.
Real feedback from schools that moved from Fedena to EduGradUP.
"We were paying ₹55,000/year to Fedena for 800 students, plus extra for the mobile app. EduGradUP gives us everything at ₹9,000 flat. The Hindi interface was the biggest win — our office staff finally use the software without calling IT for every small task."
Rajesh Sharma, Principal
Saraswati Vidya Mandir, Lucknow — 800 students
"Fedena's setup took us 3 weeks and we had to hire a server admin. With EduGradUP, the team set everything up in one day over Zoom. Parents love the WhatsApp fee reminders — our fee collection improved by 40% in the first term itself."
Priya Mehta, Administrator
Delhi Public Academy, Jaipur — 1,200 students
"We evaluated five ERPs after our Fedena contract ended. EduGradUP was the only one offering transport GPS, hostel management, and WhatsApp alerts without charging extra. For a boarding school like ours, that's a must-have — not a premium add-on."
Anand Kumar, Director
St. Francis Residential School, Ranchi — 650 students

Yes. EduGradUP gives school owners and trustees one centralized, portfolio-level dashboard to monitor attendance, fee collection, exam results and staff activity across every branch or campus in real time, included in every plan at no extra cost — Fedena typically charges extra or restricts multi-branch visibility to a higher tier.

EduGradUP is available in 6 languages — English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. The entire interface is translated, not just menu labels: dashboards, fee receipts, attendance registers, report cards, the parent app and WhatsApp notification templates all follow the selected language. Each user picks their own language from Settings and the choice is saved to their profile, so a principal working in English, a clerk working in Marathi and a parent reading notices in Tamil can all share the same school account. Urdu is rendered right-to-left throughout. There is no extra licence fee for any language.
