Summary

OpenEduCat is a modular education platform for institutions, with cloud hosting and on-premise deployment. Institutions can choose the modules they need and add more as they grow; the pricing pages state there are no per-student fees. Its systems connect student information with admissions, fees, library, hostel, and other institution functions, and its SIS supports real-time collaboration around student data. Community Edition supports standards and single sign-on options including SCORM, xAPI, LTI 1.3, SAML, Shibboleth, OAuth2, Azure AD, and Google Workspace. Android and iOS apps, assessments, certificates, and API access are listed. The Free Edition has no learner cap or time limit, though capacity depends on hardware. Institutions own their data and can self-host without student limits or license call-home. The Free Edition uses the LGPL-3.0 license, with source code public on GitHub. A 15-day trial is offered without a credit card; the site lists a No Refund Policy. OpenEduCat Core is listed at $489.00 USD per year.
