Eduvy CRM vs OpenEduCat

Eduvy CRM is an admissions CRM for Indian colleges that manages student enquiries through calls, messages and enrolment. Its AVA caller contacts new leads, typically within about 60 seconds, and handles inbound calls 24/7. AVA supports Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi and English, including Hinglish code-switching. It answers from college-approved, in-date facts and defers questions it cannot verify to a counsellor. The platform assigns live lead scores from 0–100, groups them into Hot, Warm, Mid and Cold bands, and includes a going-cold radar. Campaigns include lead selection, calling windows, retries and budget caps, with DNC scrubbing before calls. WhatsApp templates are approved per college; messaging is opt-in gated and subject to the 24-hour service window, and incoming WhatsApp shares context with calls. Leads can come from Meta lead ads, CollegeDunia and CSV uploads, with no ERP integration required to launch. The phone-focused counsellor app includes lead and callback queues, offline sync, a pipeline and grounded AI answers. Pricing is quoted per institution after catalogue review.

OpenEduCat is a modular education platform for institutions, available through cloud hosting or on-premise deployment. Institutions can select modules and add more as needed, with no per-student fees. Its systems connect student information with admissions, fees, library, hostel, and other institutional functions; the SIS supports real-time collaboration around student data. Community Edition supports standards and sign-on options including SCORM, xAPI, LTI 1.3, SAML, Shibboleth, OAuth2, Azure AD, and Google Workspace. The platform also lists assessments, certificates, API access, and Android and iOS apps. Its Free Edition has no learner cap or time limit, although capacity depends on hardware. The Free Edition uses the LGPL-3.0 license, with source code public on GitHub; institutions own their data and can self-host without student limits or license call-home. Self-hosting can use Linux, Python 3.10+, and PostgreSQL 14+. A 15-day trial is offered without a credit card. The listed Core plan is $489 a year, and the site lists a No Refund Policy.
