Questions, answered
Is this comparison fair?
We think so — and we name the real strengths of the old ways too. Registers never need the internet. Groups are instant. The question is only what each costs you in a busy week.
What about the big ERPs?
They are serious products, often built for universities or enterprises. Classfold is built for the Indian school office: fee counters, parent groups, branch chaos — at prices a school can actually pay.
