How much does Fedena cost?

When we read Fedena's pricing page on 21 October 2026 it showed US dollars, billed yearly: Standard $999, Premium $1,399 and Ultimate $1,699 for the web app, or $1,599, $1,999 and $2,299 with the mobile app. Enterprise is by quote. The page may show other currencies by region.

Fedena says its basic version is open source and free of cost. Its public code repository shows no commit to the main branch since July 2016. The hosted plans are paid, and it offers a 14-day free trial.

Is Fedena better than ProEMS?

It depends on what you need. Fedena lists more modules (hostel, inventory, GPS tracking, Tally, online classes) and 20+ languages, and parents can pay fees in its app. ProEMS prices per student in rupees, covers schools and colleges in one product and states where it hosts data.

Does Fedena support online fee payment?

Yes, through its payment gateway module, which starts at the Premium plan. Fedena names Razorpay, PayPal and Authorize.net. ProEMS supports Razorpay, Stripe, Paytm, HDFC (via CCAvenue) and PNB on the Gold plan, and students pay on the web.

How much does ProEMS cost?

₹79, ₹169 and ₹249 per student per year for Silver, Gold and Platinum, before 18% GST, with a ₹12,000 yearly minimum and a one-month trial.

Does ProEMS have hostel, inventory or GPS bus tracking?

No. ProEMS has no hostel or inventory module, and transport is records only: routes, vehicles, drivers and pickup points, with no live tracking.

ProEMS vs Fedena: a flat dollar price with open-source roots, or a per-student price in rupees

Fedena is the broader and more international product. It covers hostel, inventory, GPS bus tracking, Tally, online classes and 20+ languages, and prices four plans in US dollars with unlimited users.^{[1, 2, 3, 4]} Many of those are add-ons or higher-tier modules, so the plan matters. It also says its basic version is open source and free.^[5]

ProEMS is narrower: no hostel, inventory, bus tracking or online classes. It prices per student in rupees, shows every price on the page and hosts in Mumbai. Choose Fedena for breadth, ProEMS for a rupee price you can add up in a minute.

Checked on 21 October 2026: Fedena's website, its public code repository on GitHub and its Google Play and App Store listings. “Not stated” means the pages we read don't say, not that Fedena lacks it. ProEMS facts come from our own product and published prices.

Which should you choose?

Choose Fedena if

You need hostel, inventory, GPS bus tracking, Tally export or online classes in the same system.
You want a flat yearly price for the whole institution, with unlimited users, and you're comfortable paying in dollars.
You want parents to pay fees in the app, and interface languages other than English.
You have a developer team and want an open-source starting point or the product source code on the Enterprise plan.

Choose ProEMS if

You want a price in rupees that grows with your student count: ₹79, ₹169 or ₹249 per student per year before GST.
You want fee collection with online payment from the middle plan, with each module's plan listed on the pricing page.
You want your data in AWS Mumbai, with its own database and web address for your school.
You need Council List and nominal roll exports for ICSE and ISC schools.
You don't need hostel, inventory, bus tracking or online classes, and you'd rather start with a smaller product.

What is Fedena?

Fedena is a school and college management system from Foradian Technologies in Bengaluru. Its story page dates the company to 2009, and its home page says 40,000+ schools and colleges in 200+ countries.^{[2, 8]} It sells four plans (Standard, Premium, Ultimate and Enterprise) and describes itself as suitable for CBSE, ICSE, state boards and IB.^{[1, 2]}

Fedena is still shipping. Its release notes list version 5.2 in March 2026, which added Razorpay payment gateway integration.^[8]

Where is Fedena stronger?

On breadth, accounting links and international reach. For many institutions that is the deciding point.

More modules. Hostel, library, transport and inventory sit in the Standard plan.^[1] GPS tracking and video classes come through integrations.^{[2, 4]} ProEMS has no hostel, inventory, GPS or online classes.
Tally. A Premium module syncs transactions to Tally by date range or on a schedule.^[3] ProEMS has no Tally export.
Parents pay in the app. Its apps page says parents can pay fees online and download receipts.^[13] In ProEMS, students pay on the web and the apps show fees only. Fedena's app also has an administrator view.
Languages and reach. It says 20+ languages and 200+ countries.^[2] ProEMS is English only.
Group management. Its FAQ describes multi-school dashboards for owners and board members.^[5] ProEMS gives each school its own database and web address.
Source code. The Enterprise plan includes the product source code.^[1]

Where is ProEMS stronger?

On a rupee price per student, three plans, and a few India-specific details.

Price in rupees, per student. ₹79, ₹169 or ₹249 per student per year before 18% GST, with volume bands that lower the rate as you grow. No dollar conversion.
Online payment from the middle plan. Fee collection with online payment is on Gold. On Fedena the gateway module starts at Premium, so its cheapest plan has no online payment.^[1] ProEMS has tiers too, and passes SMS and gateway charges on at cost.
Indian gateways. Razorpay, Stripe, Paytm, HDFC (via CCAvenue), PNB. Fedena names Razorpay, PayPal and Authorize.net.^{[3, 8]}
Board formats. Report cards, rank lists with percentile, and Council List and nominal roll exports for ICSE and ISC schools.
Where your data sits. AWS Mumbai, an encrypted database, daily backups with 7-day point-in-time recovery. Fedena names Amazon Web Services as a subprocessor but no region.^[16]

What ProEMS doesn't do: no hostel, inventory, GPS bus tracking, online classes, WhatsApp, Tally export or payslip PDFs, no two-factor login and English-only screens, and we don't list any AI features. Parents can't pay fees online, and the apps have no admin side. The full list is on the comparison hub.

What does Fedena cost?

Fedena publishes its prices. When we read the page on 21 October 2026 it showed US dollars, billed yearly. It may show other currencies by region, and we haven't converted anything.^[1]

Fedena plan	Web app	Web and mobile app	What is in it
Standard	$999	$1,599	20 core and 17 standard modules, including hostel, library, transport and inventory
Premium	$1,399	$1,999	Adds 10 modules, including the payment gateway, Tally and enquiry forms
Ultimate	$1,699	$2,299	Adds 12 modules, including online exams, automatic timetable and video class links
Enterprise	Contact sales	Contact sales	Everything above, plus the product source code

Fedena prices as shown on 21 October 2026, billed yearly, unlimited users.^[1]

ProEMS is per student, so its yearly cost moves with your size. Fedena's price stays the same, so a flat fee favours big institutions. For a small school the answer depends on the exchange rate and on which Fedena tier you need.

Students	ProEMS Gold	ProEMS Platinum	Fedena Standard (web)	Fedena Premium (web)
200	₹33,800	₹49,800	$999	$1,399
500	₹84,500	₹1,24,500	$999	$1,399
1,000	₹1,56,325	₹2,30,325	$999	$1,399
2,000	₹2,87,300	₹4,23,300	$999	$1,399

ProEMS yearly price before 18% GST, from our published rates. Fedena prices in US dollars, tax treatment not stated.^[1]

A 500-student school on Gold pays ₹84,500, plus ₹15,210 GST, which is ₹99,710. The pricing page has the plans and volume bands, and our cost guide shows what other vendors publish.

Which Fedena plan has the modules you need?

This is the part of Fedena that catches buyers out. The plan cards show the same module counts, but struck-through lines mark what a plan lacks.^[1]

You need	Lowest Fedena plan
Hostel, library, transport, inventory	Standard^[1]
Online fee payment through a gateway	Premium^{[1, 3]}
Tally integration, data export, enquiry and registration forms	Premium^[1]
Online exams, automatic timetable, Google Meet or BigBlueButton	Ultimate^[1]
GPS bus tracking, biometric devices	Separate integration, no price shown^[4]

Where Fedena puts each module, 21 October 2026

Work out your must-haves first, then price the tier that holds them. A school that wants parents to pay online is looking at Premium, not Standard.

Is Fedena open source, and does it matter?

Fedena says so. Its FAQ says the basic version is open source and free of cost.^[5] The public repository, projectfedena/fedena on GitHub, has 500+ forks. Its last commit to the main branch is dated 20 July 2016, and we found no link to it from fedena.com.^[6]

So we can't tell how closely the free code matches the product you would pay for. That matters if you plan to host or change it yourself. If you only want a hosted service, it matters much less. Ask Fedena which version a plan runs and whether any source is included.

What should you ask Fedena before you buy?

Which tier holds the modules we need?
Get the module list per tier in writing, especially the payment gateway and Tally.
What do we pay in rupees, and is GST added?
The page shows dollars and doesn't say how tax is treated.
Which Indian payment gateways are supported?
Razorpay is named for 5.2. Ask about any other gateway you use.
Where will our data be held?
Amazon Web Services is named as a subprocessor. No region is given.
What do GPS and biometric integrations cost?
Both show a contact button and no price.
Which app will our parents use?
The Android listing calls itself a demo app. Ask about a branded app for your school.
