## Intro

PowerSchool is a global K-12 platform built for large districts. EduGradUP is an India-first K-12 ERP flat-priced from ₹9,000/year. They serve very different buyers.

- All 43 modules and the full mobile app in every plan, no feature gating
- 6-language interface: English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu
- WhatsApp Business API parent notifications with payment links
- Board-specific exam cycles and result cards — CBSE, ICSE, UP Board, BSEB, RBSE
- Offline-capable Android app for low-connectivity areas
- AWS Mumbai hosting, per-school database isolation, DPDP Act 2023 aligned
- Free 15-day trial, no credit card, setup within 24 hours

## PowerSchool strengths

- Proven at district and multi-thousand-student scale
- Deep student-information and analytics capability
- Large global partner and integration ecosystem

## Comparison

- **Target buyer** — EduGradUP: Indian private K-12 schools, 150–1,500 students; PowerSchool: Districts, large networks
- **Pricing** — EduGradUP: ₹9,000–₹23,000/yr flat, published; PowerSchool: USD enterprise contract
- **Indian state-board result cards** — EduGradUP: CBSE, ICSE, UP Board, BSEB, RBSE; PowerSchool: Not built in
- **Hindi / regional staff UI** — EduGradUP: 6 languages; PowerSchool: English
- **WhatsApp parent alerts** — EduGradUP: Built-in; PowerSchool: Not standard for India
- **Indian payment gateways** — EduGradUP: Razorpay and pluggable gateway registry, UPI; PowerSchool: Card rails
- **Data residency** — EduGradUP: AWS Mumbai, DPDP Act 2023 aligned; PowerSchool: Region-dependent

## Verdict

PowerSchool is excellent at what it is built for and rarely the right answer for a single Indian private school. If you are an international school in India with a global parent group already standardised on PowerSchool, it makes sense; otherwise the India-built option costs a fraction and speaks your boards and your languages.

## FAQs

**Q: Is PowerSchool available for Indian schools?**

Yes, but it is priced and designed for large districts and international networks. Indian state-board report-card formats, WhatsApp parent messaging and Hindi office screens are not part of the standard product, which is precisely the gap India-built ERPs fill.
