Our verdict
eSkooly works for a coaching centre or single small school willing to trade SLA, payment integration and support for a free signup. Any production school in BD/NP/SG/IN — especially one collecting fees online — should choose EduGradUP for the SLA, the local payment rails and the country-based support.
Frequently Asked Questions
3 questions
Can we migrate from eSkooly?
Yes — we accept eSkooly CSV exports of students, classes and fees, and reload them into EduGradUP within 2–3 days.
Why pay for EduGradUP when eSkooly is free?
Free is rarely free for schools that collect fees online — gateway failures without auto-reconciliation cost more in admin time than a year of EduGradUP's per-student fee, plus EduGradUP gives you a 99.9% SLA, named support and PDPA/DPDP-aligned residency.
Is EduGradUP free for very small schools?
No — but the 14-day free trial covers the full product. Pricing then starts at ₹10/student/month with a 100-student minimum.
