¿Por qué Cambiar de QuickSchools a OpenEduCat?

Las instituciones cambian por estas razones.

1

Outgrow Basic SIS Limitations

QuickSchools covers attendance, grades, and fees; but as your school grows, you need HR, payroll, inventory, library management, hostel management, and transportation. OpenEduCat includes all of these in a single integrated platform without requiring third-party add-ons.

2

Eliminate Per-Student Cost Scaling

At $2.99/student/month, a school with 500 students pays $17,940/year for QuickSchools. OpenEduCat Enterprise with unlimited users costs $4,369/year, saving over $13,000 annually while delivering significantly more functionality.

3

Add Integrated Learning Management

QuickSchools has no LMS. If you need online courses, assignment management, quiz creation, or blended learning support, you would need a separate platform. OpenEduCat includes a full LMS integrated with the student information system.

4

Gain Deployment Flexibility and Data Control

QuickSchools is cloud-only with no option to host on your own infrastructure. OpenEduCat offers cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployment, giving you full control over your data and compliance with institutional data governance policies.

Preguntas Frecuentes

Can OpenEduCat handle our small school of under 100 students?
Absolutely. OpenEduCat scales from small schools to large universities. The free Community Edition is ideal for small schools, providing full SIS functionality at zero cost, something QuickSchools charges for on a per-student basis.
Will teachers find OpenEduCat as easy to use as QuickSchools?
OpenEduCat provides an intuitive web interface with role-based dashboards. Teachers see only the tools they need: attendance, gradebook, and communication. The experience is similar to QuickSchools but with more capabilities available as needs grow.
Does OpenEduCat support parent and student portals?
Yes. OpenEduCat includes dedicated parent and student portals where families can view grades, attendance, fee status, timetables, and communicate with teachers, matching QuickSchools portal features and extending them with LMS access.
How does OpenEduCat pricing compare for a 200-student school?
At $1.49/student/month, QuickSchools costs about $3,576/year for 200 students. OpenEduCat Community Edition is free. OpenEduCat Enterprise with core modules costs a fraction of that, and pricing is not tied to student count, so you never pay more as enrollment grows.
