EduCRM vs LeadSquared

EduCRM is browser-based CRM software for education consultants and agencies managing student recruitment and admissions work. A student record can include parent contacts, sessions, notes, applications, documents, tasks, payments, and invoices. Each university application has its own stage, deadline, documents, and owner, and applications can be managed on a drag-and-drop board. Optional two-way Google Calendar synchronization covers sessions, tasks, and deadlines. Premium registration forms create branded sign-up pages on an EduCRM subdomain, with 47 ready-made questions and up to 10 custom questions. AI can convert spoken notes into tasks and suggest spreadsheet column mappings, with user confirmation required before saving. Data is stored in Google Cloud's europe-west1 region and encrypted in transit and at rest. Workspaces use owner, admin, counsellor, and viewer roles, with workspace separation and an immutable log of access and admin events. The browser app runs in English and Greek and requires no installation. The Free plan covers up to 10 students; Premium costs €49.99/month and supports up to 1499 students.
