Our verdict
Vidyalaya is a safe, conservative choice for Indian schools that prioritise installed-base familiarity and deep India-board features. EduGradUP wins for schools in Bangladesh, Nepal or Singapore (or Indian schools running CBSE in vernacular regions), for any school needing local payment rails or religious-school modes, and for any buyer who wants transparent per-student pricing without a long quote cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
5 questions
Can we migrate from Vidyalaya to EduGradUP?
Yes — free data migration is included with onboarding. We extract students, parents, classes, fee structures and historical attendance/marks from Vidyalaya exports, normalise them and load them into a sandbox tenant for sign-off before production cutover. Single-campus migration is typically 2–4 weeks.
Is EduGradUP cheaper than Vidyalaya?
Pricing is broadly comparable on paper, but EduGradUP's transparent per-student rate removes the negotiation cycle, and the included vernacular UI plus local gateways removes implementation surprises that are common with Vidyalaya.
Does EduGradUP have a 25-year history like Vidyalaya?
No — EduGradUP is a 2020-founded product purpose-built for the 2025+ regulatory and payments landscape across BD/NP/SG/IN. Longevity is real value, but so is a product designed for current DPDP/PDPA/UPI rails from day one.
How is mobile experience compared to Vidyalaya?
EduGradUP ships native iOS and Android apps for parents and teachers with offline attendance and gradebook. Vidyalaya's mobile experience is primarily a companion app on top of the web product.
Which is better for multi-campus groups?
Both handle multi-campus. EduGradUP adds per-country residency for groups operating across BD/NP/SG/IN — your Singapore campus data stays in AWS Singapore while your India campus data stays in AWS Mumbai.
