OningIQ vs Teachmint.

Both make sense for Indian institutions — but they solve different problems. Here's the line-by-line, written by someone who isn't pretending to be neutral.

The short version

OPick OningIQ if

Schools, colleges and coaching institutes that want every module — admissions, fees, attendance, exams, transport, hostel, library, comms — on one connected platform.

EPick Teachmint if

Schools that want a mobile-first, live-class-led platform with the basic admin modules attached — and don't need deep coaching-institute or college-level workflows.

Plain truth: Teachmint ships a polished live-classroom + mobile experience and a solid admin layer underneath it. OningIQ is a deeper ERP — the difference shows up in fee operations (sibling discounts, GST receipts, WhatsApp DLT), the admissions pipeline with AI lead scoring, and the AI layer that watches every module (At-Risk Radar, Smart Reminders, AI report-card remarks). Pick Teachmint for live-class-led K-12; pick OningIQ when operations and AI matter more than the in-built classroom.
