Inkwelly vs MyClassboard. Modern, Indian-payment-first, WhatsApp-native.
MyClassboard is a long-standing player. Inkwelly is built for how Indian schools work today — WhatsApp parent comms, Razorpay and bank reconciliation out of the box, and a teacher app that teachers actually use.
Why schools consider a switch
Schools on MyClassboard tell us feature breadth is good but modernisation is slow, parent communication relies on SMS, and integrations with Razorpay/Tally feel bolted on. Inkwelly ships all of these as first-class modules with one invoice.
What you get with Inkwelly
- WhatsApp-native parent comms using Meta-approved templates.
- Native Indian payment gateways and direct bank reconciliation.
- One-minute class attendance on any Android phone.
- Tally XML export, GST-compliant receipts.
- 14-day go-live, ₹0 migration cost, 90-day pilot.
- Mumbai-hosted on AWS, DPDP-aligned.
Frequently asked
How does migration from MyClassboard work?
We extract students, parents, fees, and attendance using MyClassboard exports, or from Excel if exports are limited. Data loads into a staging Inkwelly, you review, and we go live on the 1st of a month.
Pricing comparison?
Inkwelly uses per-student pricing, typically ₹1–3 lakh per school per year depending on size. We don't charge extra for SMS — WhatsApp is our default and SMS is included as a fallback.
Pilot details?
90-day paid pilot on your real data. Pro-rata refund with data returned in standard formats if it's not working.
Support response?
Under 2 hours on WhatsApp during business hours, from a real person. Not a ticket queue.
